"And blessed be the Lord thy God,
Who takes delight in thee;
Because the Lord loved Israel well,
Thy wisdom now they see.
"Then of his royal bounty he
Gave what the queen liked best,
And thus King Solomon dismissed
His pleased and grateful guest.
KING OF TYRE.
"Hiram, King of Tyre, was ever a lover of David."—Kings v.
King Solomon his servant sent
To Hiram, King of Tyre,
To say, "thus saith King David's son
Thy servant doth desire
To build a temple for the Lord,
And he would buy of thee,
Cedars of Lebanon, and firs,
To be sent down by sea."
And Hiram heard these words, and said,
"My servant shall convey
All thou dost need from Lebanon;
Blessed be the Lord this day!
