1Wathuma uHiram, ukumkani waseTire, abakhonzi bakhe kuSolomon; kuba wayevile ukuba bamthambisile ukuba abe ngukumkani endlwini kayise, ekubeni uHiram wayesoloko emthanda uDavide.

2uSolomon wathumela umyalezo kuHiram, esithi:

3Uyazi wena, ukuba uDavide ubawo ubengenako ukulakhela indlu igama likaYehova uThixo wakhe, ngenxa yeemfazwe ezimfikeleyo, wada uYehova wambeka phantsi kweenyawo zakhe.

4Kaloku ke undiphumzile uYehova, uThixo wam, ngeenxa zonke, akukho lutshaba, akukho ngozi.

5Yabona, ndiceba ukulakhela indlu igama likaYehova uThixo wam, njengoko wakuthethayo uYehova ubawo uDavide, wathi, Unyana wakho, endiya kumbeka etroneni yakho esikhundleni sakho, nguye oya kundakhela indlu igama.

6Ngoko ke wisa umthetho, bandimisele imisedare eLebhanon; abakhonzi bam babe nabakhonzi bakho, ndikunike umvuzo ngokwento yonke othe wabawisela umthetho ngayo; ngokuba niyazi nina, ukuba akukho namnye kuthi ogawula imithi njengamaTsidon.

7Akuweva uHiram amazwi kaSolomon, wavuya kunene, wathi, Makabongwe uYehova namhla, omnike uDavide unyana olumkileyo, wokuba alulawule olu hlanga lukhulu.

8uHiram wamthuma ke uSolomon, wathi, Ndizibonile izinto ondithume zona, ndikwenze konke okufunayo, ngemisedare nemisipres.

9Abakhonzi bam boyihlisela elwandle lwaseLebhanon; mna ndiya kumse elwandle, adada, kuloo ndawo uya kundikhubekisa kuyo, ndimse elwandle, umamkele; wondiphilisa ke umnqweno wokunika indlu yam ukudla.

10uHiram wamnika ke uSolomon imisedare nemisipres ngangokuthanda kwakhe konke.

11uSolomon wamnika uHiram amashumi amabini amawaka engqolowa ukuba idle indlu yakhe; namashumi amabini eekore zeoli engqushiweyo; uSolomon wayinika uHiram njengaminyaka le.

12uYehova wamnika ubulumko uSolomon, njengoko wayekuthethile kuye; lwaba luxolo phakathi koHiram noSolomon; benza umnqophiso bobabini.

13Ukumkani uSolomon waqhubeka erhafisa oonyana bakaSirayeli bonke; unikelo ngamashumi omathathu amawaka amadoda.

14Wabathuma eLebhanon, ishumi lamawaka ngenyanga, ngokwamaqela; inyanga enye babe seLebhanon, iinyanga ezimbini babe sekhaya; yaye uAdoniram wayeyinjengele yabo bakhethiweyo.

15uSolomon wayenamashumi amathandathu amawaka abachebi nabachebi beenwele ezintabeni;

16ngaphandle kwabathetheli babalindi bakaSolomon, ababephethe umsebenzi, babengamawaka amathathu anamakhulu amathathu, ababephethe abantu emsebenzini.

17Ukumkani wawisa umthetho, bezisa amatye amakhulu, amatye anqabileyo, amatye aqingqiweyo okuseka indlu;

18Abakhi bakaSolomon nabakhi bakaHiram babadiliza, nabakhi bamatye; balungisa imithi namatye okwakha indlu.
