Solomon and Hiram Arranging Timber by the Seaby KalebRosendahl

2 Chronicles 2:9

Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build shall be wonderful great.

Solomon arranged for timber to be prepared in abundance because the house he was about to build was to be wonderfully great, an extraordinarily grand temple. That abundant supply was to come from Lebanon. The timber was cut and hauled by workers for the construction of the building.
