- 2 Chronicles 2:1–2:10
Asks for Lebanon timber and coordinates Tyrian and Judahite workers. Read 2 Chronicles 2:8 within 2:1–2:10. The complete unit records: Solomon plans houses for the LORD's name and his kingdom, counts a vast workforce, and requests a skilled artisan, timber, and provisions from Huram.
