Context

4Lakini sasa Bwana Mungu wangu amenipa utulivu kila upande hakuna adui wala maafa. 5Kwa hiyo, ninakusudia kujenga Hekalu kwa ajili ya Jina la Bwana, Mungu wangu, kama Bwana alivyomwambia baba yangu Daudi, wakati aliposema, ‘Mwanao nitakayemweka kwenye kiti cha ufalme mahali pako, ndiye atajenga Hekalu kwa ajili ya Jina langu.’ 6“Hivyo toa amri ili mierezi ya Lebanoni ikatwe kwa ajili yangu. Watu wangu watafanya kazi na watu wako, nami nitawalipa watu wako kwa ujira wowote utakaoupanga. Unajua kwamba hatuna mtu yeyote mwenye ustadi katika kukata miti kama Wasidoni.” 7Hiramu aliposikia ujumbe wa Solomoni, akafurahishwa sana akasema, “Ahimidiwe Bwana leo, kwa kuwa amempa Daudi mwana mwenye hekima kutawala juu ya taifa hili kubwa.” 8Hiramu akatuma neno kwa Solomoni: “Nimepokea ujumbe ulionipelekea na nitafanya yote unayohitaji katika kukupatia magogo ya mierezi na misunobari.
