1 Now Solomon (peace) purposed to build a house for the Name of the LORD {YHWH} and a royal palace for himself. 2 So he conscripted (peace) 70,000 porters, 80,000 stonecutters in the mountains, and 3,600 supervisors. 3 Then Solomon (peace) sent word to Hiram \Huram/ king of Tyre (a rock): “Do for me as you did for my father David (beloved) when you sent him cedars to build himself a house to live in. 4 Behold, I am about to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God {YHWH Elohay} to dedicate to Him for burning fragrant incense before Him, for displaying the showbread continuously, and for making burnt offerings every morning and evening as well as on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts of the LORD our God. This is ordained for Israel forever (he wrestles with God). 2 Chronicles 2:1-4, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
