2 Pastaj Salomoni vendosi të ndërtojë një tempull në emër të Zotit dhe një pallat për vete.
2 Salomoni rekrutoi shtatëdhjetë mijë burra që të mbartnin pesha, tetëdhjetë mijë të nxirrnin gurë në malet dhe tre mijë e gjashtëqind veta për t’i mbikqyrur.
3 Pastaj Salomoni i çoi fjalë Hiramit, mbretit të Tiros: "Ashtu si ke bërë me Davidin, atin tim, të cilit i dërgove kedra për të ndërtuar një shtëpi në të cilën të banonte, bëj të njëjtën gjë me mua.
4 Ja unë jam duke ndërtuar një tempull në emër të Zotit, Perëndisë tim, për t’ia kushtuar atij, për të djegur para tij temjan erëmirë, për të ekspozuar vazhdimisht bukët e paraqitjes dhe për të ofruar olokauste në mëngjes dhe në mbrëmje, të shtunave, kur të ketë hënë të re dhë në festat e caktuara nga Zoti, Perëndia ynë. Ky është një ligj i përjetshëm për Izraelin.
5 Tempulli që unë do të ndërtoj do të jetë i madh, sepse Perëndia ynë është më i madh se tërë perënditë e tjera.
6 Po kush do të jetë në gjendje t’i ndërtojë një tempull me qenë se qiejtë dhe qiejtë e qiejve nuk janë në gjendje ta nxenë? E kush jam unë që t’i ndërtoj një tempull, qoftë edhe vetëm për të djegur temjan para tij?
7 Prandaj dërgomë tani një njeri të shkathët që di të punojë arin, argjendin, bronzin, hekurin, purpurin, të kuqen flakë, ngjyrë vjollcën dhe që të dijë të bëjë çdo lloj prerjesh, duke punuar bashkë me specialistët që janë pranë meje në Judë dhe në Jeruzalem, dhe që ati im David ka përgatitur.
8 Dërgomë edhe nga Libani dru kedri, qiparisi dhe santali, sepse e di që shërbëtorët e tu janë të aftë të presin drurin e Libanit; dhe ja, shërbëtorët e mi do të punojnë bashkë me shërbëtorët e tu,
9 për të më pregatitur lëndë druri me shumicë, sepse tempulli që do të ndërtoj do të jetë i madh dhe i mrekullueshëm.
10 Dhe shërbëtorëve të tu që do të rrëzojnë dhe do të presin drurët unë do t’u jap njëzet mijë kore gruri, njëzet mijë kore elbi, njëzet mijë bate verë dhe njëzet mijë bate vaji".
11 Dhe Hirami, mbret i Tiros, u përgjigj me një shkrim, që i dërgoi Salomonit: "Me qenë se Zoti e do popullin e tij, të ka caktuar mbret mbi të".
12 Hirami thoshte gjithashtu: "I bekuar qoftë Zoti, Perëndia i Izraelit, që ka bërë qiejtë dhe tokën, sepse i ka dhënë mbretit David një bir të urtë, shumë të zgjuar dhe të aftë, që do të ndërtojë një tempull për Zotin dhe një pallat mbretëror për vete!
13 Unë po të dërgoj një njeri të shkathët dhe të ditur të atit tim Hiram, që është
14 bir i një gruaje nga bijat e Danit, ndërsa i ati ishte një njeri nga Tiro. Ai di të punojë arin, bronzin, hekurin, gurin, drurin, purpurin dhe ngjyrë vjollcën, të kuqe flakë, pëlhurën e hollë dhe di të bëjë çdo prerje dhe çdo lloj vizatimi që i besohet. Ai do të punojë me specialistët e tu dhe me specialistët e zotit tim David, atit tënd.
15 Tani, pra, imzot le t’u dërgojë shërbëtorëve të tij grurin, elbin, vajin dhe verën, që u ka premtuar;
16 dhe ne do të presim tërë drurët e Libanit për të cilat ke nevojë; do t’i sjellim me trap nëpër det deri në Jafo dhe ti do t’i mbartësh në Jeruzalem".
17 Salomoni regjistrioi tërë të huajt që ndodheshin në vendin e Izraelit, mbas regjistrimit që kishte bërë Davidi, i ati; ata ishin njëqind e pesëdhjetë e tre mijë e gjashtëqind veta,
18 dhe mori shtatëdhjetë mijë prej tyre për të mbartur pesha, tetëdhjetë mijë për të prerë gurë në mal dhe tre mijë e gjashtëqind mbikqyrës që ta bënin popullin të punonte.

Preparations for Building the Temple(A)
2 [a]Solomon gave orders to build a temple(B) for the Name of the Lord and a royal palace for himself.(C) 2 He conscripted 70,000 men as carriers and 80,000 as stonecutters in the hills and 3,600 as foremen over them.(D)
3 Solomon sent this message to Hiram[b](E) king of Tyre:
“Send me cedar logs(F) as you did for my father David when you sent him cedar to build a palace to live in. 4 Now I am about to build a temple(G) for the Name of the Lord my God and to dedicate it to him for burning fragrant incense(H) before him, for setting out the consecrated bread(I) regularly, and for making burnt offerings(J) every morning and evening and on the Sabbaths,(K) at the New Moons(L) and at the appointed festivals of the Lord our God. This is a lasting ordinance for Israel.
5 “The temple I am going to build will be great,(M) because our God is greater than all other gods.(N) 6 But who is able to build a temple for him, since the heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain him?(O) Who then am I(P) to build a temple for him, except as a place to burn sacrifices before him?
7 “Send me, therefore, a man skilled to work in gold and silver, bronze and iron, and in purple, crimson and blue yarn, and experienced in the art of engraving, to work in Judah and Jerusalem with my skilled workers,(Q) whom my father David provided.
8 “Send me also cedar, juniper and algum[c] logs from Lebanon, for I know that your servants are skilled in cutting timber there. My servants will work with yours 9 to provide me with plenty of lumber, because the temple I build must be large and magnificent. 10 I will give your servants, the woodsmen who cut the timber, twenty thousand cors[d] of ground wheat, twenty thousand cors[e] of barley, twenty thousand baths[f] of wine and twenty thousand baths of olive oil.(R)”
11 Hiram king of Tyre replied by letter to Solomon:
“Because the Lord loves(S) his people, he has made you their king.”
12 And Hiram added:
“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth!(T) He has given King David a wise son, endowed with intelligence and discernment, who will build a temple for the Lord and a palace for himself.
13 “I am sending you Huram-Abi,(U) a man of great skill, 14 whose mother was from Dan(V) and whose father was from Tyre. He is trained(W) to work in gold and silver, bronze and iron, stone and wood, and with purple and blue(X) and crimson yarn and fine linen. He is experienced in all kinds of engraving and can execute any design given to him. He will work with your skilled workers and with those of my lord, David your father.
15 “Now let my lord send his servants the wheat and barley and the olive oil(Y) and wine he promised, 16 and we will cut all the logs from Lebanon that you need and will float them as rafts by sea down to Joppa.(Z) You can then take them up to Jerusalem.”
17 Solomon took a census of all the foreigners(AA) residing in Israel, after the census(AB) his father David had taken; and they were found to be 153,600. 18 He assigned(AC) 70,000 of them to be carriers and 80,000 to be stonecutters in the hills, with 3,600 foremen over them to keep the people working.

2 And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the Lord, and an house for his kingdom.
2 And Solomon told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.
3 And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein, even so deal with me.
4 Behold, I build an house to the name of the Lord my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the Lord our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.
5 And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods.
6 But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?
7 Send me now therefore a man cunning to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can skill to grave with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.
8 Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon: for I know that thy servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and, behold, my servants shall be with thy servants,
9 Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build shall be wonderful great.
10 And, behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.
11 Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because the Lord hath loved his people, he hath made thee king over them.
12 Huram said moreover, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, that might build an house for the Lord, and an house for his kingdom.
13 And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father's,
14 The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord David thy father.
15 Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants:
16 And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need: and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa; and thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem.
17 And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them; and they were found an hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred.
18 And he set threescore and ten thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and fourscore thousand to be hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people a work.
