Now Hiram.
1 R. 5:6‑10• 6Manda pues ahora que me corten cedros del Líbano; y mis siervos estarán con los tuyos, y yo te daré por tus siervos el salario que tú dijeres: porque tú sabes bien que ninguno hay entre nosotros que sepa labrar la madera como los Sidonios.
7Y como Hiram oyó las palabras de Salomón, holgóse en gran manera, y dijo: Bendito sea hoy Jehová, que dió hijo sabio á David sobre este pueblo tan grande.
8Y envió Hiram á decir á Salomón: He oído lo que me mandaste á decir: yo haré todo lo que te pluguiere acerca de la madera de cedro, y la madera de haya.
9Mis siervos la llevarán desde el Líbano á la mar; y yo la pondré en balsas por la mar hasta el lugar que tú me señalares, y allí se desatará, y tú la tomarás: y tú harás mi voluntad en dar de comer á mi familia.
10Dió pues Hiram á Salomón madera de cedro y madera de haya todo lo que quiso.
(1 R. 5:6‑10)
;
2 Cr. 2:8‑10,16• 8Envíame también madera de cedro, de haya, de pino, del Líbano: porque yo sé que tus siervos entienden de cortar madera en el Líbano; y he aquí, mis siervos irán con los tuyos,
9Para que me apresten mucha madera, porque la casa que tengo de edificar ha de ser grande y portentosa.
10Y he aquí para los operarios tus siervos, cortadores de la madera, he dado veinte mil coros de trigo en grano, y veinte mil coros de cebada, y veinte mil batos de vino, y veinte mil batos de aceite.
16Y nosotros cortaremos en el Líbano la madera que hubieres menester, y te la traeremos en balsas por la mar hasta Joppe, y tú la harás llevar hasta Jerusalem.
(2 Cr. 2:8‑10,16)
king Solomon.
of Galilee.
 Solomon gave Hiram a territory consisting of twenty cities in the land of Galilee, the nucleus of what was later called “Galilee of the nations” (Isa. 9:1; Mt. 4:15). This territory originally consisted of a part of the borders of Naphtali and later spread to include the area of Zebulun, all of “Upper Galilee,” reaching to the Sea of Tiberias by way of Capernaum. The first of this territory thus was ceded to Hiram. Was Solomon acting according to God in thus subtracting a part, be it the very least part, of Israel’s inheritance for the profit of one of the chiefs of the nations? We do not hesitate to answer in the negative, for the land could not be given away. (The Lord Speaks: 1 Kings 9:1-9 by H.L. Rossier)
 It is a remarkable fact that the book of Chronicles, which for reasons already given never indicates wrongdoing in the kings unless it has to be mentioned to make the history understandable, does not speak of this gift. On the contrary, it substitutes for this account that of the “cities which Huram had given to Solomon.” (The Lord Speaks: 1 Kings 9:1-9 by H.L. Rossier)
