- 推罗王希兰,平素爱大卫。他听见以色列人膏所罗门,接续他父亲作王,就差遣臣仆来见他。
- 所罗门也差遣人去见希兰,说,
- 你知道我父亲大卫因四围的争战,不能为耶和华他神的名建殿,直等到耶和华使仇敌都服在他脚下。
- 现在耶和华我的神使我四围平安,没有仇敌,没有灾祸。
- 我定意要为耶和华我神的名建殿,是照耶和华应许我父亲大卫的话说,我必使你儿子接续你坐你的位,他必为我的名建殿。

- Now Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, when he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father, for Hiram had always been a friend of David.
- Then Solomon sent word to Hiram, saying,
- "You know that David my father was unable to build a house for the name of the LORD his God because of the wars which surrounded him, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.
- "But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary nor misfortune.
- "Behold, I intend to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to David my father, saying, 'Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, he will build the house for My name.'
