1 KINGS 5:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.”
"'My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea; and I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place you indicate. I will have them broken up there, and you shall receive them. And you shall meet my needs by providing food for my household.'" — Hiram's logistics: *avadai yorid'u 'etzim min-ha-levanon* (my servants shall bring them down from Lebanon). The cedar logs will be *floated as rafts* (*dob'rot*) across the Mediterranean to Solomon's *specified location* (likely the port of Jaffa). The phrase *ve-'attah teshom et-machsori* (you shall meet my needs) requests *food provisions* for Hiram's household (*beyto*). The arrangement is *reciprocal*: materials for grain/provisions.
