1 Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon when he heard that they had anointed him as king in place of his father, for Hiram had always been a friend for David.
2 Then Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
3 “You knew David my father, that he was not able to build a house for the name of Yahweh his God, in view of the warfare which surrounded him, until Yahweh placed them under the soles of his feet.
4 But now Yahweh my God has given me rest all around me. There is no adversary, and there is no bad occurrence.
