SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:8
Envíame también madera de cedro, de haya, y de pino del Líbano; porque yo sé que tus siervos son maestros de cortar madera en el Líbano; y he aquí, mis siervos irán con los tuyos,
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 8. Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon , etc.] Of the two first of these, and which Hiram sent, (see Kings 5:10). The algum trees are the same with the almug trees, ( Kings 10:11,12) by a transposition of letters; these could not be coral, as some Jewish writers think, which grows in the sea, for these were in Lebanon; nor Brazil, as Kimchi, so called from a place of this name, which at this time was not known; though there were trees of almug afterwards brought from Ophir in India, as appears from the above quoted place, as well as from Arabia; and it seems, as Beckius observes, to be an Arabic word, by the article “al” prefixed to it: for I know that thy servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon ; better than his: and, behold, my servants shall be with thy servants ; to help and assist them in what they can, and to learn of them, (see 1 Kings 5:6).
Matthew Henry Commentary
The building of the temple. --There is a more particular account of the building of the temple in 1Ki 6. It must be in the place David had prepared, not only which he had purchased, but which he had fixed on by Divine direction. Ful instructions enable us to go about our work with certainty and to proceed therein with comfort. Blessed be God, the Scriptures are enoug to render the man of God thoroughly furnished for every good work. Le us search the Scriptures daily, beseeching the Lord to enable us to understand, believe, and obey his word, that our work and our way ma be made plain, and that all may be begun, continued, and ended in him Beholding God, in Christ, his true Temple, more glorious than that of Solomon's, may we become a spiritual house, a habitation of God throug the Spirit __________________________________________________________________
