2 Chronicles 2:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ “Now may you send to me a wise man who works with gold, silver, bronze, iron, and in purple, crimson, and violet threads and knows how to engrave, who will be with the skilled workers and me in Judah and Jerusalem, which David my father established.

⁸ “And may you send me trees of cedar, cypress, and algum from Lebanon because I realize that your slaves know how to cut timber in Lebanon; and my servants will be alongside your servants, ⁹ to prepare an abundance of timber for me, because the temple that I will build will be great and marvelous.
