2 Chronicles 2:8-10
Evangelical Heritage Version
8 Send me cedar, fir, and algum[a] timber from Lebanon, because I know that your servants know how to cut timber from Lebanon. Look, my servants will work with your servants 9 to prepare lumber for me in abundance because the house which I am building will be great and wonderful.
10 To support the lumberjacks who work for you, I have set aside one hundred twenty thousand bushels[b] of crushed wheat, and one hundred twenty thousand bushels of barley, one hundred twenty thousand gallons[c] of wine, and one hundred twenty thousand gallons of olive oil.
