11:004:029 And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much,
           and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea
           shore.

11:004:030 And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children
           of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

11:004:031 For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and
           Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol:  and his fame
           was in all nations round about.

11:004:032 And he spake three thousand proverbs:  and his songs were a
           thousand and five.

11:004:033 And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon
           even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall:  he spake
           also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of
           fishes.

11:004:034 And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon,
           from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.

11:005:001 And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he
           had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his
           father:  for Hiram was ever a lover of David.

11:005:002 And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,

11:005:003 Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house
           unto the name of the lord his God for the wars which were
           about him on every side, until the lord put them under the
           soles of his feet.

11:005:004 But now the lord my God hath given me rest on every side, so
           that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent.

11:005:005 And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the
           lord my God, as the lord spake unto David my father, saying,
           Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall
           build an house unto my name.

11:005:006 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.

11:005:007 And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon,
           that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be the lord this
           day, which hath given unto David a wise son over this great
           people.

11:005:008 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the
           things which thou sentest to me for:  and I will do all thy
           desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of
           fir.
