2 Chronicles 2:14-16
New English Translation
14 whose mother is a Danite and whose father is a Tyrian.[a] He knows how to work with gold, silver, bronze, iron, stones, and wood, as well as purple, blue, white, and crimson fabrics. He knows how to do all kinds of engraving and understands any design given to him. He will work with your skilled craftsmen and the skilled craftsmen of my lord David your father. 15 Now let my lord send to his servants the wheat, barley, olive oil, and wine he has promised; 16 we will get all the timber you need from Lebanon[b] and bring it[c] in raft-like bundles[d] by sea to Joppa. You can then haul it on up to Jerusalem.”
