Solomon's Agreement with Hiram. . 1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David. 2 And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying, 3 Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house unto the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet. 4 But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent. 5 And, behold, I purpose to build a house unto the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build a house unto my name. 6 Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants: and unto thee will I give hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt appoint: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the Sidonians. 7 And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be the LORD this day, which hath given unto David a wise son over this great people. 8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which thou sentest to me for: and I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir. 9 My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household. We have here an account of the amicable correspondence between Solomon and Hiram. Tyre was a famous trading city, that lay close upon the sea, in the border of Israel; its inhabitants (as should seem) were none of the devoted nations, nor ever at enmity with Israel, and therefore David never offered to destroy them, but lived in friendship with them. It is here said of Hiram their king that he was ever a lover of David; and we have reason to think he was a worshipper of the true God, and had himself renounced, though he could not reform, the idolatry of his city. David's character will win the affections even of those that are without. Here is, I. Hiram's embassy of compliment to Solomon, 1 Kings 5:1 ; 1 Kings 5:1 . He sent, as is usual among princes, to condole with him on the death of David, and to renew his alliances with him upon his succession to the government. It is good keeping up friendship and communion with the families in which religion is uppermost. II. Solomon's embassy of business to Hiram, sent, it is likely, by messengers of his own. In wealth, honour, and power, Hiram was very much inferior to Solomon, yet Solomon had occasion to be beholden to him and begged his favour. Let us never look with disdain on those below us, because we know not how soon we may need them. Solomon, in his letter to Hiram, acquaints him, 1. With his design to build a temple to the honour of God. Some think that temples among the heathen took their first rise and copy from the tabernacle which Moses erected in the wilderness, and that there were none before that; however there were many houses built in honour of the false gods before this was built in honour of the God of Israel, so little is external splendour a mark of the true church. Solomon tells Hiram, who was himself no stranger to the affair, (1.) That David's wars were an obstruction to him, that he could not build this temple, though he designed it, 1 Kings 5:3 ; 1 Kings 5:3 . They took up much of his time, and thoughts, and cares, were a constant expense to him and a constant employment of his subjects; so that he could not do it so well as it must be done, and therefore, it not being essential to religion, he must leave it to be done by his successor. See what need we have to pray that God will give peace in our time, because, in time or war, the building of the gospel temple commonly goes on slowly. (2.) That peace gave him an opportunity to build it, and therefore he resolved to set about it immediately: God has given me rest both at home and abroad, and there is no adversary ( 1 Kings 5:4 ; 1 Kings 5:4 ), no Satan (so the word is), no instrument of Satan to oppose it, or to divert us from it. Satan does all he can to hinder temple work ( 1 Thessalonians 2:18 ; Zechariah 3:1 ), but when he is bound ( Revelation 20:2 ) we should be busy. When there is no evil occurrent, then let us be vigorous and zealous in that which is good and get it forward. When the churches have rest let them be edified, Acts 9:31 . Days of peace and prosperity present us with a fair gale, which we must account for if we improve not. As God's providence excited Solomon to think of building the temple, by giving him wealth and leisure, so his promise encouraged him. God had told David that his son should build him a house, 1 Kings 5:5 ; 1 Kings 5:5 . He will take it as a pleasure to be thus employed, and will not lose the honour designed him by that promise. It may stir us up much to good undertakings to be assured of good success in them. Let God's promise quicken our endeavours. 2. With his desire that Hiram would assist him herein. Lebanon was the place whence timber must be had, a noble forest in the north of Canaan, particularly expressed in the grant of that land to Israel-- all Lebanon, Joshua 13:5 . So that Solomon was proprietor of all its productions. The cedars of Lebanon are spoken of as, in a special manner, the planting of the Lord ( Psalms 109:16 ), being designed for Israel's use and particularly for temple service. But Solomon owned that though the trees were his the Israelites had not skill to hew timber like the Sidonians, who were Hiram's subjects. Canaan was a land of wheat and barley ( Deuteronomy 8:8 ), which employed Israel in the affairs of husbandry, so that they were not at all versed in manufactures: in them the Sidonians excelled. Israel, in the things of God, are a wise and understanding people; and yet, in curious arts, inferior to their neighbours. True piety is a much more valuable gift of heaven than the highest degree of ingenuity. Better be an Israelite skilful in the law than a Sidonian skilful to hew timber. But, the case being thus, Solomon courts Hiram to send him workmen, and promises ( 1 Kings 5:6 ; 1 Kings 5:6 ) both to assist them ( my servants shall be with thy servants, to work under them), and to pay them ( unto thee will I give hire for thy servants ); for the labourer, even in church-work, though it be indeed its own wages, is worthy of his hire, The evangelical prophet, foretelling the glory of the church in the days of the Messiah, seems to allude to this story, Isaiah 60:1-22 , where he prophesies, (1.) That the sons of strangers (such were the Tyrians and Sidonians) shall build up the wall of the gospel temple, Isaiah 60:10 ; Isaiah 60:10 . Ministers were raised up among the Gentiles for the edifying of the body of Christ. (2.) That the glory of Lebanon shall be brought to it to beautify it, Isaiah 60:13 ; Isaiah 60:13 . All external endowments and advantages shall be made serviceable to the interests of Christ's kingdom. 3. Hiram's reception of, and return to, this message. (1.) He received it with great satisfaction to himself: He rejoiced greatly ( 1 Kings 5:7 ; 1 Kings 5:7 ) that Solomon trod in his father's steps, and carried on his designs, and was likely to be so great a blessing to his kingdom. In this Hiram's generous spirit rejoiced, and not merely in the prospect he had of making an advantage to himself by Solomon's employing him. What he had the pleasure of he gave God the praise of: Blessed be the Lord, who has given to David (who was himself a wise man) a wise son to rule over this great people. See here, [1.] With what pleasure Hiram speaks of Solomon's wisdom and the extent of his dominion. Let us learn not to envy others either those secular advantages or those endowments of the mind wherein they excel us. What a great comfort it is to those that wish well to the Israel of God to see religion and wisdom kept up in families from one generation to another, especially in great families and those that have great influence on others! where it is so, God must have the glory of it. If to godly parents be given a godly seed ( Malachi 2:15 ), it is a token for good, and a happy indication that the entail of the blessing shall not be cut off. (2.) He answered it with great satisfaction to Solomon, granting him what he desired, and showing himself very forward to assist him in this great and good work to which he was laying his hand. We have here his articles of agreement with Solomon concerning this affair, in which we may observe Hiram's prudence. [1.] He deliberated upon the proposal, before he returned an answer ( 1 Kings 5:8 ; 1 Kings 5:8 ): I have considered the things. It is common for those that make bargains rashly afterwards to wish them unmade again. The virtuous woman considers a field and then buys it, Proverbs 31:16 . Those do not lose time who take time to consider. [2.] He descended to particulars in the articles, that there might be no misunderstanding afterwards, to occasion a quarrel. Solomon had spoken of hewing the trees ( 1 Kings 5:6 ; 1 Kings 5:6 ), and Hiram agrees to what he desired concerning that ( 1 Kings 5:8 ; 1 Kings 5:8 ); but nothing had been said concerning carriage, and this matter therefore must be settled. Land-carriage would be very troublesome and chargeable; he therefore undertakes to bring all the timber down from Lebanon by sea, a coasting voyage. Conveyance by water is a great convenience to trade, for which God is to have praise, who taught man that discretion. Observe what a definite bargain Hiram made. Solomon must appoint the place where the timber shall be delivered, and thither Hiram will undertake to bring it and be responsible for its safety. As the Sidonians excelled the Israelites in timber-work, so they did in sailing; for Tyre and Sidon were situate at the entry of the sea ( Ezekiel 27:3 ): they therefore were fittest to take care of the water-carriage. Tractant fabrilia fabri--Every artist has his trade assigned. And, [3.] If Hiram undertake for the work, and do all Solomon's desire concerning the timber ( 1 Kings 5:8 ; 1 Kings 5:8 ), he justly expects that Solomon shall undertake for the wages: " Thou shalt accomplish my desire in giving food for my household ( 1 Kings 5:9 ; 1 Kings 5:9 ), not only for the workmen, but for my own family." If Tyre supply Israel with craftsmen, Israel will supply Tyre with corn, Ezekiel 27:17 . Thus, by the wise disposal of Providence, one country has need of another and is benefited by another, that there may be mutual correspondence and dependence, to the glory of God our common parent. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-10-18" class="com-number"

솔로몬과 히람의 우호적인 교류가 여기에 기록되어 있다. 두로는 이스라엘 국경에 인접한 바다 옆의 유명한 무역 도시였다. 그 주민들은 진멸 대상 민족이 아니었고 이스라엘과 적대 관계에 있었던 적도 없었으므로, 다윗은 그들을 멸하려 하지 않고 친교를 유지했다. 두로 왕 히람에 대해서는 그가 "항상 다윗을 사랑하는 자"였다고 기록되어 있는데, 그는 참 하나님을 경배하는 자였으며 비록 자기 성읍의 우상숭배를 개혁할 수는 없었어도 스스로는 그것을 버린 사람으로 여길 만하다. 다윗의 인품은 이방인의 마음까지 사로잡는 힘이 있었다.
여기에 기록된 내용은 다음과 같다.
**Ⅰ. 히람의 외교 사절 파견 (왕상 5:1).** 히람은 왕위에 오른 솔로몬에게 관례대로 다윗의 죽음을 조문하고 새 왕과의 동맹을 갱신하기 위한 사절을 보냈다. 종교가 가장 왕성한 가문과의 우의와 교제를 이어가는 것은 참으로 좋은 일이다.
**Ⅱ. 솔로몬의 실무 사절 파견.** 재물과 권세와 영예에서 히람은 솔로몬보다 훨씬 아래에 있었음에도 솔로몬은 그에게 의탁할 일이 생겨 그의 도움을 구했다. 자기보다 아래에 있는 사람들을 무시하지 말아야 한다. 언제 그들의 도움이 필요할지 모르기 때문이다. 솔로몬은 히람에게 보내는 편지에서 다음 두 가지를 알렸다.
**1. 성전 건축 계획.** 이방인들 사이에서도 신을 모시는 전당이 세워진 것은 아마도 모세가 광야에서 세운 성막을 본뜬 것일 수 있다. 솔로몬은 이 일을 낯설지 않게 여길 히람에게 두 가지를 말했다.
(1) 다윗의 전쟁이 성전 건축을 가로막은 사정(왕상 5:3). 전쟁에 시간과 마음과 재원이 모두 소모되었고 백성들도 끊임없이 동원되어야 했으므로, 마땅히 해야 할 방식대로 성전을 지을 수 없었다. 종교에 본질적인 것이 아니었으므로 그 일은 후계자에게 맡겨야 했다. 전시에는 복음의 성전 건축이 얼마나 더디게 진행되는지를 생각하며, 우리 시대에 평화를 구하는 기도가 얼마나 절실히 필요한가를 알게 된다.
(2) 평화가 성전 건축의 기회를 열어준 일(왕상 5:4). "하나님이 내 사방에 평안을 주시고, 대적도 없고 재앙도 없습니다"—사탄(원어)도 없습니다. 사탄은 성전 건축 사역을 방해하려 온갖 수단을 동원하지만(살전 2:18; 슥 3:1), 그가 결박될 때(계 20:2) 우리는 더욱 분주히 일해야 한다. 교회에 평안이 있을 때 덕을 세우라(행 9:31). 평화와 번영의 날들은 우리가 선용하지 않으면 반드시 책임을 물게 될 기회를 준다. 하나님의 섭리가 솔로몬에게 성전 건축을 생각나게 했다면, 그분의 약속이 또한 그를 격려했다. 하나님은 다윗에게 그의 아들이 성전을 지을 것이라고 말씀하셨다(왕상 5:5). 그 약속으로 주어진 영예를 놓치지 않으려는 마음이 솔로몬을 움직였다. 선한 일을 시작함에 있어서 그 성공이 확실하다는 것을 아는 것은 큰 자극이 된다. 하나님의 약속이 우리의 수고를 불러일으키게 하라.
**2. 협력 요청.** 레바논은 목재를 구할 수 있는 곳으로, 이스라엘 북방의 울창한 숲이었다. 그 땅의 허락에 "레바논 온 지역"이 명시되어 있어(수 13:5) 솔로몬은 그 모든 소산물의 소유권자였다. 레바논의 백향목은 특별히 하나님의 심으심으로 일컬어지며(시 109:16), 이스라엘의 사용, 특히 성전 봉사를 위해 준비된 것이었다. 그러나 솔로몬은 나무는 자기 소유이더라도 이스라엘 사람들은 시돈 사람들처럼 목재를 다루는 기술이 없음을 인정했다. 가나안은 밀과 보리의 땅이어서(신 8:8) 이스라엘 사람들은 농사에 종사했고 공예에는 전혀 숙련되지 않았다. 참된 경건은 아무리 높은 기술보다 훨씬 더 귀한 하늘의 선물이다. 율법에 능숙한 이스라엘 사람이 목재 다루는 기술이 뛰어난 시돈 사람보다 낫다. 그러나 사정이 이러하므로 솔로몬은 히람에게 일꾼을 보내줄 것을 청하고, 함께 일하겠다고(왕상 5:6 "내 종들이 당신의 종들과 함께 있을 것입니다") 약속하며 품삯을 지급하겠다고 했다. 교회 사역에서도 일꾼은 품삯을 받을 자격이 있다. 메시아의 날 교회의 영광을 예언한 선지자는 이 이야기를 암시하는 것 같다(사 60장). (1) 이방인의 자녀들이 복음의 성전 벽을 쌓을 것이다(사 60:10)—이방인 중에서 그리스도의 몸을 세울 사역자들이 세워진다는 뜻이다. (2) 레바논의 영광이 성전을 아름답게 하기 위해 들어올 것이다(사 60:13)—모든 외적 재능과 유익이 그리스도의 나라를 섬기는 데 쓰이리라는 뜻이다.
**3. 히람의 응답.** (1) 그는 크게 기뻐했다(왕상 5:7). 솔로몬이 아버지의 뜻을 이어받아 그 계획을 발전시키며 왕국의 복이 될 사람임을 보는 것이 기뻤기 때문이었다. 히람의 고상한 정신이 기뻐한 것이지, 단지 이익을 취할 수 있다는 기대에서 기뻐한 것이 아니었다. 그는 그 기쁨을 하나님께 돌리며 찬양했다. "오늘 다윗에게 지혜로운 아들을 주신 여호와를 찬송합니다." 여기서 배울 것이 있다. [1] 다른 사람이 우리보다 세속적인 면에서나 정신적인 면에서 뛰어날 때 부러워하지 말라. 대대로 가문에서 종교와 지혜가 이어지는 것, 특히 영향력 있는 큰 가문에서 그러할 때 얼마나 큰 위로인가! 그렇게 될 때 하나님이 그 영광을 받으셔야 한다. 경건한 부모에게 경건한 자녀가 주어진다면(말 2:15), 그것은 좋은 징조요 은혜의 증표이다. (2) 히람은 솔로몬의 요청을 기꺼이 들어줌으로써 크게 만족스러운 답변을 보냈다. 히람의 협상 방식에서 지혜를 엿볼 수 있다. [1] 그는 먼저 제안을 충분히 숙고한 다음 답했다(왕상 5:8 "내가 당신이 보낸 말을 깊이 생각해 보았습니다"). 경솔하게 거래를 맺으면 나중에 후회하기 십상이다. 유능한 여인은 밭을 살펴보고 산다(잠 31:16). 생각하는 데 시간을 쓰는 사람은 시간을 낭비하는 것이 아니다. [2] 나중에 오해로 인한 분쟁이 없도록 조항을 구체적으로 명시했다. 솔로몬은 나무를 베는 일만 말했으나(왕상 5:6), 히람은 그 요청에 응하면서(왕상 5:8) 운반 문제도 처리했다. 육로 운반은 번거롭고 비용도 많이 들 것이므로, 그는 모든 목재를 레바논에서 바다로 내려 해안을 따라 운반하기로 약속했다. 수로 운반은 무역에 큰 편의를 주는 것인데, 이런 분별을 사람에게 가르치신 하나님을 찬양해야 한다. 히람은 목재가 인도될 장소를 솔로몬이 정하면 그곳까지 안전하게 가져오겠다고 확약했다. 시돈 사람들은 목재 다루는 기술만 아니라 항해술에서도 이스라엘을 능가했으니, 두로와 시돈은 바다 어귀에 자리 잡고 있었기 때문이다(겔 27:3). 각자의 기술이 있는 곳에서 일하는 것이 옳다. [3] 히람이 공사를 맡아 솔로몬의 모든 소원을 들어준다면(왕상 5:8), 솔로몬도 품삯을 책임지는 것이 마땅했다. "당신은 내 집 식구의 양식을 충당해 주십시오"(왕상 5:9)—일꾼뿐 아니라 히람 자신의 가족까지 포함하여. 두로가 이스라엘에게 장인들을 공급하면, 이스라엘은 두로에게 곡식을 공급하게 된다(겔 27:17). 이처럼 하나님의 지혜로운 섭리로 각 나라가 서로 필요로 하고 서로 유익을 나누어, 공동의 아버지이신 하나님께 영광을 돌리게 된다.

F I R S T K I N G S CHAP. V. The great work which Solomon was raised up to do was the building of the temple; his wealth and wisdom were given him to qualify him for that. In this, especially, he was to be a type of Christ, for "he shall build the temple of the Lord," Zechariah 6:12 . In this chapter we have an account of the preparations he made for that and his other buildings. Gold and silver his good father had prepared in abundance, but timber and stones he must get ready; and about these we have him treating with Hiram king of Tyre. I. Hiram congratulated him on his accession to the throne, 1 Kings 5:1 . II. Solomon signified to him his design to build the temple and desired him to furnish him with workmen, 1 Kings 5:2-6 . III.

솔로몬이 세워진 가장 큰 사역은 성전을 건축하는 일이었다. 그에게 주어진 재물과 지혜는 바로 이 일을 위한 준비였다. 특히 이 점에서 그는 그리스도의 모형이 되었으니, "그가 여호와의 성전을 건축하리라"고 스가랴 6장 12절에 기록되어 있다. 이 장에서 우리는 솔로몬이 성전과 그 밖의 건축물을 위해 어떤 준비를 했는지 살펴본다. 금과 은은 그의 아버지 다윗이 풍성하게 마련해 두었으나, 목재와 돌은 솔로몬이 직접 준비해야 했다. 이 일을 위해 그는 두로 왕 히람과 교섭을 벌였다. Ⅰ. 히람이 솔로몬의 즉위를 축하했다(왕상 5:1). Ⅱ. 솔로몬이 히람에게 성전 건축 계획을 알리고 일꾼을 보내줄 것을 요청했다(왕상 5:2–6). Ⅲ. 히람이 이에 동의했다(왕상 5:7–9). Ⅳ. 솔로몬의 공사가 순조롭게 진행되고 히람의 일꾼들이 정당한 보수를 받았다(왕상 5:10–18).

10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to all his desire. 11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year. 12 And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together. 13 And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men. 14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram was over the levy. 15 And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains; 16 Beside the chief of Solomon's officers which were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought in the work. 17 And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house. 18 And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did hew them, and the stonesquarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house. Here is, I. The performance of the agreement between Solomon and Hiram. Each of the parties made good his engagement. 1. Hiram delivered Solomon the timber, according to his bargain, 1 Kings 5:10 ; 1 Kings 5:10 . The trees were Solomon's, but perhaps-- Materiam superabat opus--The workmanship was of more value than the article. Hiram is therefore said to deliver the trees. 2. Solomon conveyed to Hiram the corn which he had promised him, 1 Kings 5:11 ; 1 Kings 5:11 . Thus let justice be followed (as the expression is, Deuteronomy 16:20 ), justice on both sides, in every bargain. II. The confirmation of the friendship that was between them hereby. God gave Solomon wisdom ( 1 Kings 5:12 ; 1 Kings 5:12 ), which was more and better than any thing Hiram did or could give him; but this made Hiram love him, and enabled Solomon to improve his kindness, so that they were both willing to ripen their mutual love into a mutual league, that it might be lasting. It is wisdom to strengthen our friendship with those whom we find to be honest and fair, lest new friends prove not so firm and so kind as old ones. III. The labourers whom Solomon employed in preparing materials for the temple. 1. Some were Israelites, who were employed in the more easy and honourable part of the work, felling trees and helping to square them, in conjunction with Hiram's servants; for this he appointed 30,000, but employed only 10,000 at a time, so that for one month's work they had two months' vacation, both for rest and for the despatch of their own affairs at home, 1 Kings 5:13 ; 1 Kings 5:14 . It was temple service, yet Solomon takes care that they shall not be over-worked. Great men ought to consider that their servants must rest as well as they. 2. Others were captives of other nations, who were to bear burdens and to hew stone ( 1 Kings 5:15 ; 1 Kings 5:15 ), and we read not that these had their resting times as the other had, for they were doomed to servitude. 3. There were some employed as directors and overseers ( 1 Kings 5:16 ; 1 Kings 5:16 ), 3300 that ruled over the people, and they were as necessary and useful in their place as the labourers in theirs; here were many hands and many eyes employed, for preparation was now to be made, not only for the temple, but for all the rest of Solomon's buildings, at Jerusalem, and here in the forest of Lebanon, and in other places of his dominion, of which see 1 Kings 9:17-19 ; 1 Kings 9:17-19 . He speaks of the vastness of his undertakings ( Ecclesiastes 2:4 , I made me great works ), which required this vast number of workmen. IV. The laying of the foundation of the temple; for that is the building his heart is chiefly upon, and therefore he begins with that, 1 Kings 5:17 ; 1 Kings 5:18 . It should seem, Solomon was himself present, and president, at the founding of the temple, and that the first stone (as has been usual in famous buildings) was laid with some solemnity. Solomon commanded and they brought costly stones for the foundation; he would do every thing like himself, generously, and therefore would have some of the costliest stones laid, or buried rather, in the foundation, though, being out of sight, worse might have served. Christ, who is laid for a foundation, is an elect and precious stone ( Isaiah 28:16 ), and the foundations of the church are said to be laid with sapphires, Isaiah 54:11 , compare Revelation 21:19 . That sincerity which is our gospel perfection obliges us to lay our foundation firm and to bestow most pains on that part of our religion which lies out of the sight of men. return to ' Top of Page ' 1 Kings 1Ki 4 1 Kings 1Ki 1 Kings 1Ki 6 Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain and are a derivative of an electronic edition that is available on the Christian Classics Ethereal Library Website.

여기에는 다음 내용이 기록되어 있다.
**Ⅰ. 솔로몬과 히람 사이의 약속 이행.** 양측 모두 자신의 약조를 지켰다.
1. 히람은 약속대로 솔로몬에게 목재를 납품했다(왕상 5:10). 나무는 솔로몬의 소유였지만, 그 가공 솜씨가 재료보다 더 값진 것이었으므로 히람이 나무를 납품했다고 말한다.
2. 솔로몬은 약속한 양식을 히람에게 지급했다(왕상 5:11). 이처럼 정의를 따라야 한다(신 16:20). 모든 거래에서 쌍방이 다 공정해야 한다.
**Ⅱ. 이로써 두 사람의 우의가 더욱 공고해졌다.** 하나님이 솔로몬에게 지혜를 주셨는데(왕상 5:12), 이것은 히람이 줄 수 있는 무엇보다 크고 좋은 것이었다. 그러나 그 지혜가 히람으로 하여금 솔로몬을 사랑하게 했고, 솔로몬이 히람의 호의를 잘 활용하게 했다. 그리하여 두 사람은 오랫동안 지속될 상호 동맹을 맺기로 했다. 정직하고 신의 있는 사람과 우의를 더욱 굳게 다지는 것이 지혜이다. 새 친구가 오랜 친구만큼 의리 있고 친절하지 않을 수도 있기 때문이다.
**Ⅲ. 솔로몬이 성전 건축 재료를 준비하는 데 동원한 일꾼들.**
1. 일부는 이스라엘 사람들로, 보다 쉽고 명예로운 일인 나무를 베고 다듬는 작업에 히람의 종들과 함께 종사했다. 이를 위해 3만 명을 임명했지만 한 번에 1만 명만 투입하여, 한 달 일하면 두 달은 쉬면서 집안일도 처리하게 했다(왕상 5:13–14). 성전 공사였지만 솔로몬은 과로하지 않도록 배려했다. 위에 있는 자는 아래 사람들도 쉬어야 한다는 것을 생각해야 한다.
2. 다른 이들은 다른 민족 출신의 포로들로, 짐을 지고 돌을 다듬는 일을 맡았다(왕상 5:15). 이들에게는 쉬는 시간이 주어졌다는 기록이 없으니, 노역에 예속된 자들이었기 때문이다.
3. 감독과 관리로 일하는 자들이 있었다(왕상 5:16). 일하는 백성들을 감독하는 3,300명이었는데, 이들도 자기 자리에서 일꾼들 못지않게 필요하고 유익한 존재였다. 수많은 손과 눈이 동원된 것은 성전뿐 아니라 예루살렘과 레바논 숲과 그 밖의 지역에 있는 솔로몬의 모든 건축물을 위한 재료를 마련해야 했기 때문이다(왕상 9:17–19). 솔로몬은 "내가 큰 사업을 이루었다"(전 2:4)고 말할 만큼 방대한 일을 벌였고, 이를 위해 그만큼 많은 일꾼이 필요했다.
**Ⅳ. 성전 기초 놓기.** 솔로몬의 마음이 가장 간절히 향한 곳이 성전이었으므로 그 일부터 시작했다(왕상 5:17–18). 솔로몬은 친히 성전 기초 공사를 감독하고 주관한 것으로 보이며, 유명한 건축물들이 으레 그러하듯이 초석 놓는 일에는 어느 정도 의식을 갖추었을 것이다. 솔로몬은 명하여 기초를 위한 값비싼 돌들을 가져오게 했다. 그는 모든 일을 자신답게, 즉 아낌없이 했다. 눈에 보이지 않는 기초라 해도 더 값진 돌들을 묻었다. 기초가 되시는 그리스도는 택하시고 귀한 모퉁이돌이시며(사 28:16), 교회의 기초는 청옥으로 놓인다고 했다(사 54:11; 계 21:19 참조). 복음의 완전성인 성실함은 기초를 튼튼히 하고, 사람들의 눈에 보이지 않는 신앙의 부분에 가장 많은 공을 들이도록 우리에게 요구한다.
