Contextual Overview

10 So Hiram gave Solomon as much as he wanted of the cedar and cypress trees. 11 Then Solomon gave Hiram 200,000 baskets of grain as food for those of his house, and 200 jars of beaten oil. Solomon gave this to Hiram each year. 12 And the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon, just as He promised him. There was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they made an agreement. 13 Now King Solomon made men work for him from all Israel. There were 30,000 men made to work for him. 14 He sent them to Lebanon, 10,000 men each month. They were in Lebanon one month and at home two months. Adoniram ruled those who were made to work. 15 Now Solomon had 70,000 men to carry loads, and 80,000 stone cutters in the mountains. 16 And he had 3,300 men who were leaders of the work, and who ruled over the people doing the work. 17 Then as the king told them, they cut out large stones of much worth for the house of God to be built on. 18 Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Gebalites cut them. They made the wood and the stones ready to build the house.
