- But who is able to build a temple for him, since the heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain him? Who then am I to build a temple for him, except as a place to burn sacrifices before him?
- "Send me, therefore, a man skilled to work in gold and silver, bronze and iron, and in purple, crimson and blue yarn, and experienced in the art of engraving, to work in Judah and Jerusalem with my skilled craftsmen, whom my father David provided.
- "Send me also cedar, pine and algum logs from Lebanon, for I know that your men are skilled in cutting timber there. My men will work with yours
- to provide me with plenty of lumber, because the temple I build must be large and magnificent.
- I will give your servants, the woodsmen who cut the timber, twenty thousand cors of ground wheat, twenty thousand cors of barley, twenty thousand baths of wine and twenty thousand baths of olive oil."

- 天和天上的天,尚且不足他居住的,谁能为他建造殿宇呢。我是谁。能为他建造殿宇麽。不过在他面前烧香而已。
- 现在求你差一个巧匠来,就是善用金,银,铜,铁,和紫色,朱红色,蓝色线,并精于雕刻之工的巧匠,与我父大卫在犹大和耶路撒冷所预备的巧匠一同作工。
- 又求你从利巴嫩运些香柏木,松木,檀香木到我这里来,因我知道你的仆人善于砍伐利巴嫩的树木。我的仆人也必与你的仆人同工。
- 这样,可以给我预备许多的木料,因我要建造的殿宇高大出奇。
- 你的仆人砍伐树木,我必给他们打好了的小麦二万歌珥,大麦二万歌珥,酒二万吧特,油二万吧特。
