FURNISHES TIMBER TO BUILD THE TEMPLE. (Kg1 5:7-12)
Blessed be the Lord--This language is no decisive evidence that Hiram was a worshipper of the true God, as he might use it only on the polytheistic principle of acknowledging Jehovah as the God of the Hebrews (see on Ch2 2:11). |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
Rejoiced - Being a faithful friend to David and his house, and tho' it is not probable he was a sincere proselyte, yet he had sufficient information concerning the nature and excellency of the God of Israel, and had honourable thoughts of him. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Blessed be the Lord this day - From this, and indeed from every part of Hiram's conduct, it is evident that he was a worshipper of the true God; unless, as was the case with many of the heathens, he supposed that every country had its own god, and every god his own country, and he thanked the God of Israel that he had given so wise a prince to govern those whom he considered his friends and allies: but the first opinion seems to be the most correct. |

8 And Hiram [02438] sent [07971] to Solomon [08010], saying [0559], I have considered [08085] the things which thou sentest [07971] to me for: and I will do [06213] all thy desire [02656] concerning timber [06086] of cedar [0730], and concerning timber [06086] of fir [01265].
9 My servants [05650] shall bring them down [03381] from Lebanon [03844] unto the sea [03220]: and I will convey [07760] them by sea [03220] in floats [01702] unto the place [04725] that thou shalt appoint [07971] me, and will cause them to be discharged [05310] there, and thou shalt receive [05375] them: and thou shalt accomplish [06213] my desire [02656], in giving [05414] food [03899] for my household [01004].
