Zvino Hiramu, mambo weTire, wakatumira varanda vake kuna Soromoni, nokuti wakanga anzwa kuti vakamuzodza ave mambo panzvimbo yababa vake; nokuti Hiramu wakanga achida Dhavhidhi nguva yose. Soromoni akatuma nhume kuna Hiramu akati, “Munoziva kuti Dhavhidhi baba vangu, vakanga vasingagoni kuvakira zita raJehovha Mwari wavo imba, nokuda kwehondo dzairwiwa kumativi ose, kusvikira Jehovha avaisa pasi petsoka dzake. Asi zvino Jehovha Mwari wangu wakandizorodza kumativi ose, hakuna muvengi kana chimwe chinhu chakaipa. Zvino tarirai, mwoyo wangu unoda kuvakira zita raJehovha Mwari wangu imba, sezvakataurwa naJehovha kuna baba vangu, achiti, ‘Mwanakomana wako, wandichagadza pachigaro chako choushe panzvimbo yako, ndiye uchavakira zita rangu imba.’ Naizvozvo zvino, chirairai kuti vanditemere miti yemisidhari paRebhanoni; varanda vangu vachabata pamwechete navaranda venyu; ini ndichakupai mubayiro wavaranda venyu sezvamuchareva; nokuti munoziva kuti pakati pedu hapana munhu unoziva kutema matanda ungafanana navaZidhoni.” Zvino Hiramu wakati achinzwa mashoko aSoromoni, akafara kwazvo, akati, “Nhasi Jehovha ngaavongwe, iye wakapa Dhavhidhi mwanakomana wakangwara kuzobata vanhu ava vazhinji.” Ipapo Hiramu akatuma nhume kuna Soromoni, akati, “Ndanzwa shoko ramatuma kwandiri; ndichaita zvose zvamunoda pamusoro pamatanda emisidhari, namatanda emisipiresi.
