Thematic Bible: The inhabitants of, contributed cedar for the first and second temple


Thematic Bible



And they gave money to the stoneworkers and woodworkers; and meat and drink and oil to the people of Zidon and of Tyre, for the transport of cedar-trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, as Cyrus, king of Persia, had given them authority to do.

So now, will you have cedar-trees from Lebanon cut down for me, and my servants will be with your servants; and I will give you payment for your servants at whatever rate you say; for it is common knowledge that we have no such wood-cutters among us as the men of Zidon.

And cedar-trees without number, for the Zidonians and the men of Tyre came with a great amount of cedar-trees for David.
