旧约 - 列王记上(1 Kings)第5章

And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David.
And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house unto the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.
But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent.
And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name.
Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants: and unto thee will I give hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt appoint: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the Sidonians.
And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be the LORD this day, which hath given unto David a wise son over this great people.
And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which thou sentest to me for: and I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.
My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.
So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to all his desire.
And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.
And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.
And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram was over the levy.
And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains;
Beside the chief of Solomon's officers which were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did hew them, and the stonesquarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house.
列王纪上第五章   第 5 章 

  王上 5:2-3> 为何神不让大卫为祂建造圣殿呢?我能为神国出什么力? 

  5:2-3 大卫起意要为神建造圣殿,神藉着先知拿单对他说“不”(参撒下 7:1-17 )。神要一位和平君王而不是一位战士,来为祂建造万民祷告的殿(参代上 28:2-3 )。 

  王上 5:13-14> 所罗门懂得体谅下属及其家人,作为领导的考虑到这点没有? 

  5:13-14 所罗门为建造圣殿征募工人,是所需之数的三倍,然后订出工作的时间,使他们不用长期离家,这件事显出他关心工人的生活,重视家庭幸福。一个国家的富强,与人民的家庭安康息息相关。所罗门很有见地,知道应当把家庭放在首位。你办理自己的事务或安排别人的时间时,要留意你的计划对家庭的影响。 

  王上 5:18> 充分利用资源,广泛合作…… 

  5:18 迦巴勒也称为巴布罗斯( Byblos ),靠近香柏树森林,在现今的贝鲁特以北。这些人是腓尼基人,多善于造船,受雇来建这工程。──《灵修版圣经注释》
