2 CHRONICLES 2

KING HIRAM PROVIDES SOLOMON MATERIALS FOR THE TEMPLE

As Solomon prepares to build the temple, he consults King Hiram of Tyre to obtain the highest quality materials. King Hiram had a close relationship with David and recognizes the great work that God has done in Israel. Hiram rejoices with gladness that God provided David a wise and faithful son.

King Hiram has access to beautiful cedar and cypress and supplies Solomon with everything he needs to build the temple, including craftsmen who are skilled in engraving.

Solomon acknowledges that not even the highest places of heaven could contain God. Solomon is honored and humbled that God allows him to build His dwelling place on Earth.
