Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon: for I know that thy servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and, behold, my servants shall be with thy servants,
Send me also cedar trees ... The cedar and cypress were valued as being both rare and durable; the algum, or almug, trees (likewise a foreign wood), though not gotten on Lebanon, is mentioned being procured through Huram (see the note at 1 Kings 10:11).
