Verse 6
1 Kings 5:6
King James Version
6
Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants: and unto thee will I give hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt appoint: for thou knowest that
there is not among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the Sidonians.
