1 Kings 5.12-18 [vv. 26–32 Heb] (Parsha Terumah, Haftarah)

1Ki 5:12  (5:26) And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as He promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.
1Ki 5:13  (5:27) And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
1Ki 5:14  (5:28) And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home; and Adoniram was over the levy.
1Ki 5:15  (5:29) And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bore burdens, and fourscore thousand that were hewers in the mountains;
1Ki 5:16  (5:30) besides Solomon’s chief officers that were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, who bore rule over the people that wrought in the work.
1Ki 5:17  (5:31) And the king commanded, and they quarried great stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with hewn stone.
1Ki 5:18  (5:32) And Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders and the Gebalites did fashion them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.

1 Kings 6:1-13 (Parsha Terumah, Haftarah)

1Ki 6:1  And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
1Ki 6:2  And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits.
1Ki 6:3  And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house.
1Ki 6:4  And for the house he made windows broad within, and narrow without.
1Ki 6:5  And against the wall of the house he built a side-structure round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the sanctuary; and he made side-chambers round about;
1Ki 6:6  the nethermost story of the side-structure was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad; for on the outside he made rebatements in the wall of the house round about, that the beams should not have hold in the walls of the house. –
1Ki 6:7  For the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready at the quarry; and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building. –
1Ki 6:8  The door for the lowest row of chambers was in the right side of the house and they went up by winding stairs into the middle row, and out of the middle into the third.
1Ki 6:9  So he built the house, and finished it; and he covered in the house with planks of cedar over beams.
1Ki 6:10  And he built the stories of the side-structure against all the house, each five cubits high; and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
1Ki 6:11  And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying:
1Ki 6:12  ‘As for this house which thou art building, if thou wilt walk in My statutes, and execute Mine ordinances, and keep all My commandments to walk in them; then will I establish My word with thee, which I spoke unto David thy father;
1Ki 6:13  in that I will dwell therein among the children of Israel, and will not forsake My people Israel.’

1 Cor 9:1-15 (Parsha Terumah, Renewed Covenant)

1Co 9:1  Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are not you my workmanship in the Lord?
1Co 9:2  If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you, for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
1Co 9:3  This is my defense to those who would examine me.
1Co 9:4  Do we not have the right to eat and drink?
1Co 9:5  Do we not have the right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?
1Co 9:6  Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working for a living?
1Co 9:7  Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard without eating any of its fruit? Or who tends a flock without getting some of the milk?
1Co 9:8  Do I say these things on human authority? Does not the Law say the same?
1Co 9:9  For it is written in the Law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain.” Is it for oxen that God is concerned?
1Co 9:10  Does he not certainly speak for our sake? It was written for our sake, because the plowman should plow in hope and the thresher thresh in hope of sharing in the crop.
1Co 9:11  If we have sown spiritual things among you, is it too much if we reap material things from you?
1Co 9:12  If others share this rightful claim on you, do not we even more? Nevertheless, we have not made use of this right, but we endure anything rather than put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ.
1Co 9:13  Do you not know that those who are employed in the temple service get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in the sacrificial offerings?
1Co 9:14  In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.
1Co 9:15  But I have made no use of any of these rights, nor am I writing these things to secure any such provision. For I would rather die than have anyone deprive me of my ground for boasting.
