2 Chronicles 2:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ “Send me a man skilled at working with gold, silver, bronze and iron. He must also be able to work with purple, blue and bright red yarn. He must be skilled in the art of carving. Send him to work in Judah and Jerusalem with my skilled workers. My father David provided them to help me.

⁸ “Also send me cedar, juniper and algum logs from Lebanon. I know that your servants are skilled in cutting wood there. My servants will work with yours. ⁹ They’ll provide me with plenty of lumber. That’s because the temple I’m building must be large and beautiful.
