Preparations for the Great Task 1 Kings 5:7-18 It was good for Hiram and his Tyrians to be associated with the servants of Solomon. Together they hewed immense blocks of stone, some of which were thirty feet in length and six feet in breadth, and which still form foundations on the ancient Temple site. Together they hewed down and fashioned the cedar and fir trees on the slopes of Lebanon. May we not learn from this partnership that Gentiles are to be associated with Jews in that one holy... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 5:1-18

Solomon turned his attention to building the Temple immediately after he had set his kingdom in order. The first movement in this direction was the treaty with Hiram, and sending relays of men to the forests and quarries to prepare the timber and the stones for the structure. This treaty with Hiram was the result of a legacy of friendship which David had bequeathed him. It is evident that Solomon appreciated the real purpose of his coming to the throne as he declared that he purposed in his... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 5:1-18

Solomon Arranges With Hiram King Of Tyre For His Country’s Assistance In The Building Of The Temple (1 Kings 5:1-18 ). The next example of Solomon’s glory and splendour is found by the writer in the building of a Temple to YHWH. Such a step on ascending the throne was well known among foreign kings, as they sought to show their gratitude to their gods, and win their continuing favour by building them a splendid temple. Solomon was no different, and he sought to justify doing the same thing on... read more

1 Kings 5:1-Job : . Solomon’ s Alliance with Hiram. Preparation for the Temple.— This chapter has a few Deuteronomic additions ( 1 Kings 5:3-Deuteronomy : and 1 Kings 5:12). In 1 Kings 5:4 there is a truly Deuteronomic touch: the one sanctuary could not come into existence till God had given the people rest ( 2 Samuel 7:11; Deuteronomy 12:9; Deuteronomy 25:19).The alliance was of mutual importance to the Israelites and the Tyrians. The corn-growing districts of N. Palestine were the granary... read more

NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE TYRIAN KINGCRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—1 Kings 5:1. Hiram, king of Tyre, called Hirom (1 Kings 5:7; 1 Kings 5:9), Huram (2 Chronicles 2:3), and by Josephus Εἵρωμος, the same who bad sent David timbers for his palace (2 Samuel 5:11; 1 Chronicles 14:1). This embassy to Solomon was a declaration that he desired to maintain equally friendly relations with David’s successor Solomon took the incident as an opportunity to negociate for “cedar trees out of Lebanon” (1 Kings... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 5:1-18

So Hiram the king of Tyre when he heard that Solomon was upon the throne in place of his David: for Hiram was always a great admirer of David. And Solomon sent to Hiram, and he said, You know how that David my father could not build a house unto the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet. But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent. Behold, I... read more

If we add the thirty thousand, and the eighty thousand, then the whole of the workmen were a hundred and ninety thousand. When a flourishing nation has little foreign trade, it is wise to employ the people in great and useful public works. Such was the wisdom of the Egyptians and the Greeks. The best... read more
