New International Version

1 Kings 5:10-14 New International Version (NIV)

10. In this way Hiram kept Solomon supplied with all the cedar and juniper logs he wanted,

11. and Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat as food for his household, in addition to twenty thousand baths of pressed olive oil. Solomon continued to do this for Hiram year after year.

12. The Lord gave Solomon wisdom, just as he had promised him. There were peaceful relations between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty.

13. King Solomon conscripted laborers from all Israel—thirty thousand men.

14. He sent them off to Lebanon in shifts of ten thousand a month, so that they spent one month in Lebanon and two months at home. Adoniram was in charge of the forced labor.
