USolomoni uthumela izimfuneko kuHiramu
1UHiramu inkosi yaseTire wathuma izinceku zakhe kuSolomoni; ngoba wezwa ukuthi bamgcobile abe yinkosi endlini kayise, ngoba uHiramu wayethanda uDavida njalo.
2USolomoni wathumela kuHiramu wathi:
3Niyazi nina ukuthi ubaba uDavide wayengenakulakhela igama likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe indlu ngenxa yezimpi ezazimzungezile, uJehova waze wayibeka phansi kwamathe ezinyawo zakhe.
4Kodwa manje uJehova uNkulunkulu wami unginikile ukuphumula nxazonke, kangangokuthi akukho sitha noma okubi.
5Bheka, ngiqonde ukwakhela igama likaJehova uNkulunkulu wami indlu, njengalokho uJehova wakhuluma kuDavide ubaba ngokuthi: ‘Indodana yakho engiyayibeka esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi esikhundleni sakho iyokwakhela indlu yami igama.
6Yaleza manje ukuba bangigawulele imisedari eLebanoni; izinceku zami ziyakuba nezinceku zakho, futhi wena ngiyakukunika inkokhelo yezinceku zakho njengakho konke oyakumisayo; ngoba uyazi ukuthi kakho phakathi kwethu ongagawula imithi njengamaSidoni.
7UHiramu esezwile amazwi kaSolomoni wathokoza kakhulu, wathi: “Makabongwe uJehova namuhla omnike uDavide indodana ehlakaniphileyo phezu kwalesi sizwe esikhulu.
8UHiramu wayesethuma uSolomoni ukuthi: “Ngikubonile lokho ongithume kukho; ngizokwenza konke okufunayo ngemisedari nangokhuni lomsayipuresi.”
9Izinceku zami ziyakwehlisela eLebanoni ziyise olwandle; ngiyowawelisa ulwandle entanta, ngiwayise endaweni oyongibonisa yona, ngiwenze ageleze aphume lapho, wena uwamukele; futhi uzongiqedela. Isifiso, ngokupha abendlu yami ukudla.
10UHiramu wayesenika uSolomoni imisedari nemisayipuresi njengakho konke ukufisa kwakhe.
11USolomoni wamnika uHiramu amakhora ayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili kakolweni abe ngukudla kwendlu yakhe namakhora angamashumi amabili amafutha acwengekileyo; kanjalo uSolomoni wanika uHiramu iminyaka ngeminyaka.
12UJehova wamnika uSolomoni ukuhlakanipha njengokumthembisa kwakhe, kwaba khona ukuthula phakathi kukaHiramu noSolomoni; benza isivumelwano bobabili.
13Inkosi uSolomoni yasibutha izisebenzi kuIsrayeli wonke; intela yayiyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu.
14Wabathuma eLebanoni, izinkulungwane eziyishumi ngenyanga ngezigaba; inyanga babe seLebanoni, izinyanga ezimbili behlala ekhaya; u-Adoniramu wayephethe izisebenzi.
15USolomoni wayenabagundi abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi ayisithupha nabagundi bezinwele eziyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi ayisishiyagalombili ezintabeni;
16ngaphandle kwezinduna zabaphathi bakaSolomoni ababephethe umsebenzi, izinkulungwane ezintathu namakhulu amathathu, ezazibusa phezu kwabantu abenza umsebenzi.
17Inkosi yayala ukuba balethe amatshe amakhulu, amatshe abizayo namatshe abaziweyo ukuze kubekwe isisekelo sendlu.
18Abakhi bakaSolomoni nabakhi bakaHiramu bawugawula nabakhihli bamatshe; balungisa izinkuni namatshe ukwakha indlu.
