7 Hiramu akati anzwa shoko raSoromoni, akafara zvikuru, uye akati, “Jehovha ngaarumbidzwe nhasi, nokuti apa Dhavhidhi mwanakomana ane uchenjeri kuti atonge rudzi rukuru urwu.”
Hiramu anakondwa kwambiri atamva uthenga wa Solomoni ndipo anati, “Lero Yehova atamandike chifukwa wapatsa Davide mwana wanzeru kuti alamulire mtundu waukuluwu.”
8 Saka Hiramu akatuma shoko kuna Soromoni achiti: “Ndagamuchira shoko ramanditumira navamakatuma uye ndichaita zvose zvamunoda ndigokupai matanda emisidhari nemisipuresi.
Tsono Hiramu anabweza mawu awa kwa Solomoni: “Ndalandira uthenga umene mwanditumizira ndipo ine ndidzachita zonse zimene mukufuna pokupatsani mitengo ya mkungudza ndi payini.
9 Vanhu vangu vachatakura kubva kuRebhanoni kusvika kugungwa, uye, ndichaayeredza negungwa kunzvimbo yamunenge masarudza. Ikoko ndichapatsanura kuti mugogona kuatora moenda nawo. Imi mugondiitirawo chishuvo changu mugopa muzinda wangu zvokudya.”
Anthu anga adzatsika nayo kuchokera ku Lebanoni mpaka ku nyanja, ndipo adzayiyandamitsa pa nyanja mpaka ku malo amene munene. Kumeneko ndidzayimasula ndipo mudzayitenga. Ndipo inu mudzakwaniritsa chokhumba changa pondipatsa chakudya cha banja langa laufumu.”
10 Nenzira iyi Hiramu akapa Soromoni matanda ose emisidhari nemisipuresi aaida,
Motero Hiramu anapereka kwa Solomoni mitengo yonse ya mkungudza ndi payini imene ankayifuna,
