1 Kings 5-6 | 2 Chronicles 2-3

Solomon communicates with king Hiram of Lebanon his plans to build a temple to the Name of the Lord, and they agree on all that will be provided by Hiram, and all that Solomon will pay.  There is great detail in all that gets constructed, which God had previously shown to David, who not only provided for all that was needed, but even the plans for his son to use.  Construction of the temple was started in the 4th year of Solomon’s reign, and took 7 years to complete.
