1 Kings 5:7
v. 7–9: Hiram was pleased to hear Solomon’s plans and praised God for giving David a wise son to rule (1 Kings 5:7 a). He carefully considered the proposal before agreeing (1 Kings 5:8 b). Hiram promised to send skilled workers and to transport the timber by sea to the place Solomon chose. He expected Solomon to provide food for his workers and household (1 Kings 5:9 c). This agreement shows wise planning and mutual respect, with each kingdom helping the other according to their strengths.
