Berean Standard Bible · Westminster Leningrad Codex
Then Hiram king of Tyre wrote a letter in reply to Solomon: “Because the LORD loves His people, He has set you over them as king.”
וַיֹּ֨אמֶר חוּרָ֤ם מֶֽלֶךְ־ צֹר֙ בִּכְתָ֔ב וַיִּשְׁלַ֖ח אֶל־ שְׁלֹמֹ֑ה בְּאַהֲבַ֤ת יְהוָה֙ אֶת־ עַמּ֔וֹ נְתָנְךָ֥ עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם מֶֽלֶךְ׃
