And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.

and cedar-trees without number: for the Sidonians and they of Tyre brought cedar-trees in abundance to David.

And it came to pass, when David dwelt in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of Jehovah dwelleth under curtains.

In all places wherein I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, Why have ye not built me a house of cedar?
