2 Kings 19:23
New International Version
23 By your messengers
you have ridiculed the Lord.
And you have said,(A)
“With my many chariots(B)
I have ascended the heights of the mountains,
the utmost heights of Lebanon.
I have cut down(C) its tallest cedars,
the choicest of its junipers.
I have reached its remotest parts,
the finest of its forests.
2 Chronicles 2:2

2 He conscripted 70,000 men as carriers and 80,000 as stonecutters in the hills and 3,600 as foremen over them.(A)
2 Chronicles 2:8-10
New International Version
8 “Send me also cedar, juniper and algum[a] logs from Lebanon, for I know that your servants are skilled in cutting timber there. My servants will work with yours 9 to provide me with plenty of lumber, because the temple I build must be large and magnificent. 10 I will give your servants, the woodsmen who cut the timber, twenty thousand cors[b] of ground wheat, twenty thousand cors[c] of barley, twenty thousand baths[d] of wine and twenty thousand baths of olive oil.(A)”
