ગુજરાતી1 રાજાઓ ૫:૬
તેથી હવે મારા માટે લબાનોન પરથી દેવદાર વૃક્ષો કપાવવાની આજ્ઞા આપો. અને મારા સેવકો તમારા સેવકોની સાથે રહેશે અને તમે જે પ્રમાણે કહેશો તે મુજબ હું તમારા સેવકોને વેતન ચૂકવી આપીશ. કારણ કે તમે જાણો છો કે અમારામાં સિદોનીઓના જેવા લાકડાં કાપનારો કોઈ હોશિયાર માણસો નથી.”
हिन्दी1 राजाओं ५:६
इसलिए अब तू मेरे लिये लबानोन पर से देवदार काटने की आज्ञा दे, और मेरे दास तेरे दासों के संग रहेंगे, और जो कुछ मजदूरी तू ठहराए, वही मैं तुझे तेरे दासों के लिये दूँगा, तुझे मालूम तो है, कि सीदोनियों के बराबर लकड़ी काटने का भेद हम लोगों में से कोई भी नहीं जानता।”
