2 Chronicles 2:12-15 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

12. And he added, saying: "Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who gave to king David a son who is wise, and learned, and intelligent as well as prudent, so that he may build a house to the Lord, and a palace for himself.

13. Therefore, I have sent my father Hiram to you; he is a prudent and very knowledgeable man,

14. the son of a woman from the daughters of Dan, whose father was a Tyrian, who knows how to work with gold and silver, with brass and iron, and with marble and timber, as well as with purple, and hyacinth, and fine linen, and scarlet. And he knows how to carve every kind of engraving, and how to devise prudently whatever may be necessary to the work, with your artisans and with the artisans of my lord David, your father.

15. Therefore, send the wheat and barley and oil and wine, which you, my lord, have promised, to your own servants.
