So Hiram, gave Solomon cedar trees, and fir trees Ordered his servants to cut them down from Lebanon, and sent them to him in floats, which he received:
[according to] all his desire; he had as many as he requested, and what he wanted.
8
Then he sent this reply to Solomon: “I have received your message, and I will supply all the cedar and cypress timber you need.
9
My servants will bring the logs from the Lebanon mountains to the Mediterranean Sea and make them into rafts and float them along the coast to whatever place you choose. Then we will break the rafts apart so you can carry the logs away. You can pay me by supplying me with food for my household.”
10
So Hiram supplied as much cedar and cypress timber as Solomon desired.
11
In return, Solomon sent him an annual payment of 100,000 bushels of wheat for his household and 110,000 gallons of pure olive oil.
12
So the LORD gave wisdom to Solomon, just as he had promised. And Hiram and Solomon made a formal alliance of peace.
