જયારે હીરામે સુલેમાનની વાતો સાંભળી, ત્યારે ઘણો આનંદિત થઈને બોલ્યો, “આજે યહોવાહની સ્તુતિ થાઓ કે તેમણે આ મહાન પ્રજા પર રાજ કરવા દાઉદને જ્ઞાની દીકરો આપ્યો છે.”
हिन्दी1 राजाओं ५:७

In context

5Behold, I intend to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to David my father, saying, ‘Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place shall build the house for my name.’

6Now therefore command that cedar trees be cut for me out of Lebanon. My servants will be with your servants; and I will give you wages for your servants according to all that you say. For you know that there is nobody among us who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians.”

7When Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly, and said, “Blessed is the LORD today, who has given to David a wise son to rule over this great people.”

8Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, “I have heard the message which you have sent to me. I will do all your desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning cypress timber.

9My servants will bring them down from Lebanon to the sea. I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place that you specify to me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and you will receive them. You will accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.”
