“Also send me cedar, cypress, and red sandalwood[a] logs from Lebanon, for I know that your men are without equal at cutting timber in Lebanon. I will send my men to help them. An immense amount of timber will be needed, for the Temple I am going to build will be very large and magnificent. 10 In payment for your woodcutters, I will send 100,000 bushels of crushed wheat, 100,000 bushels of barley,[b] 110,000 gallons of wine, and 110,000 gallons of olive oil.[c]
