Commentary on 1 Kings 5:10

Theological / Devotional

Hiram gave Solomon. There appears to have been a formal, written agreement between Solomon and Hiram (2 Chron. 2:11). Solomon set forth the terms of the contract, and they were promptly accepted by Hiram. Hiram agreed to deliver the timber desired by Solomon in harmony with the stipulations agreed upon. Josephus states that copies of the letters between Hiram and Solomon were still in existence in the days of Menander (c. 300 B.C.), and could be seen in the Tyrian archives (Antiquities viii.5.3).
