2 Chronicles 2:2-4
New King James Version
2 (A)Solomon selected seventy thousand men to bear burdens, eighty thousand to quarry stone in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred to oversee them.
3 Then Solomon sent to [a]Hiram king of Tyre, saying:
(B)As you have dealt with David my father, and sent him cedars to build himself a house to dwell in, so deal with me. 4 Behold, (C)I am building a temple for the name of the Lord my God, to dedicate it to Him, (D)to burn before Him [b]sweet incense, for (E)the continual showbread, for (F)the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the (G)Sabbaths, on the New Moons, and on the [c]set feasts of the Lord our God. This is an ordinance forever to Israel.
