2 Tawarikh 2:10-11

2:10 Look, I will pay your servants who cut the timber 20,000 kors ¹  of ground wheat, 20,000 kors of barley, 120,000 gallons ²  of wine, and 120,000 gallons of olive oil.”

2:11 King Huram ³  of Tyre sent this letter to Solomon: “Because the Lord loves his people, he has made you their king.”

[2:10]  ¹ sn As a unit of dry measure a kor was roughly equivalent to six bushels (about 220 liters).

[2:10]  ² tn Heb “20,000 baths” (also a second time later in this verse). A bath was a liquid measure roughly equivalent to six gallons (about 22 liters), so this was a quantity of about 120,000 gallons (440,000 liters).

[2:11]  ³ tn Heb “Huram” (also in v. 12). Some medieval Hebrew mss, along with the LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate spell the name “Hiram,” agreeing with 1 Chr 14:1. “Huram” is a variant spelling referring to the same individual.
