2 Chronicles 2:1-18
Solomon gave orders to build temple for the Name of the Lord and a royal palace for himself.
He sent message to Hiram king of Tyre for the logs and skilled man n gold and silver, bronze.. and experienced in the art of engraving with Israel skilled craftsmen. Solomon will give him twenty thousand cors of ground wheat, twenty thousand cors of barley, twenty thousand baths of wind and twenty thousand baths of olive oil.
Hiram agreed this request and send Huram-Abi, a man of great skill, work with Solomon's men in Jerusalem.
Hiram agreed because the Lord loves his people, he has made Solomon as their king.
Hiram said that God has given King David a wise son, endowed 天賦 with intelligence and discernment.
Who is able to build a temple for God, since the heavens, even the highest heaven, cannot contain him? Who am I to build a temple for him, except as a place to burn sacrifices before him?
Why?
Solomon not only built temple for the Lord but also built a palace for himself, so he made many people as slave for this construction.
Hiram, king of Tyre, acknowledge that the Lord is God, praise be to the Lord.
Solomon is endowed with intelligence and discernment so he has much achievement from the Lord, but the selfish heart is gradually increasing.
How?
Solomon was humble to build temple for the Lord at this moment. Endowed with intelligence and discernment is gift from the Lord.
