10 In this way Hiram kept Solomon supplied with all the cedar and juniper logs he wanted,
10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to all his desire.
10 So Hiram supplied Solomon with all the timber of cedar and cypress that he desired,
10 In this way Hiram supplied all the cedar and cypress timber that Solomon wanted.
10 Then Hiram gave Solomon cedar and cypress logs according to all his desire.
10 So Hiram supplied as much cedar and cypress timber as Solomon desired.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Kings 5:10
Commentary on 1 Kings 5:10-18
(Read 1 Kings 5:10-18)
The temple was chiefly built by the riches and labour of Gentiles, which typified their being called into the church. Solomon commanded, and they brought costly stones for the foundation. Christ, who is laid for a Foundation, is a chosen and precious Stone. We should lay our foundation firm, and bestow most pains on that part of our religion which lies out of the sight of men. And happy those who, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, for a habitation of God through the Spirit. Who among us will build in the house of the Lord?
