2 Chronicles 2:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ Send me therefore a skillful man, that knoweth how to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, and in iron, in purple, in scarlet and in blue, and that hath skill in engraving, with the artificers, which I have with me in Judea and Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.

⁸ Send me also cedars, and fir trees, and pine trees from Libanus: for I know that thy servants are skillful in cutting timber in Libanus, and my servants shall be with thy servants,

⁹ To provide me timber in abundance. For the house which I desire to build, is to be exceeding great, and glorious.
