  • Hiligaynon: “King Solomon used the almug wood for stairs/steps in the temple of the LORD and for the palace, and the others were-made (into)harps and lyres for the musicians. Nothing like that had-been-seen before in Juda.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba everything that she wanted. He gave her more than she had given to him. Then she and those who came with her returned to her own land.
    In the ships that belonged to King Hiram, Hiram’s workers and Solomon’s workers brought gold from Ophir. They also brought a large amount of juniper wood and gems. King Solomon told his workers to use that wood to make railings in the temple and in his palace and also to make harps and lyres for the musicians. That wood was the the finest wood that had ever been seen in Israel.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
