1 Kings 5 tells the covenant between Solomon and Hiram, king of Tire, to build the temple in Jerusalem. Hiram agrees to provide cedar wood and skilled carpenters needed for construction, in exchange for wheat, olive oil and wine. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in 1 Kings 5:
2 Chronicles 2:3: "And Solomon sent Hiram, king of shot, saying, As you did with David, my father, and sent him cedars to build a house where he lived, so do me." This verse highlights the continuation of the covenant between the kings of Israel and shot in the construction of the temple.
2 Chronicles 2:8: "Send me, therefore, a man expert to work in gold, silver, bronze, iron, and purple, and in Carmesim, and in blue, and to learn in sculptures, with The craftsmen I have in Judah and Jerusalem, which David, my father, prepared. " This verse shows that Solomon wants to obtain the best workers for the construction of the temple, including experts in working with gold, silver and other materials.
2 Chronicles 2:10-11: "Behold, I will give wheat for your servants, and barley, and olive oil, and wine, which I will send from them; and cut all the wood of cedar and pine that wants Lebanon, and I will make her come by sea in rafts to Jopa; hence you will take her to Jerusalem. " This verse describes the terms of the agreement between Solomon and Hiram, with Hiram providing cedar wood and workers, while Solomon provides food and other resources.
2 Chronicles 2:12: "And Hirão continued, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who gave King David a wise son, endowed with prudence and understanding, who will build a house to the Lord, and a house for your kingdom. " This verse shows Hiram's approval on the construction of the temple and the wisdom of Solomon.
Psalm 127:1: "If the Lord does not build the house, in vain work those who build it; if the Lord does not keep the city, in vain watches the sentry." This verse highlights the importance of God in the construction of the temple and the protection of Jerusalem, a theme that is emphasized in 1 Kings 5.
