1 Kings 5:10

Study note

Setting — The narrator reports Hiram’s fulfillment of the timber agreement to Solomon.

The words — נֹתֵן (no.Ten) means giving or providing, and עֲצֵי אֲרָזִים (a.Tzei a.ra.Zim) literally denotes wood of cedar.

The thread — The delivery of timber and the reciprocal food provision reappear in the fulfillment recorded in 1 Kings 5:11.

Why it lands — It records a completed transaction, showing that the promised resources were delivered exactly as agreed.
