John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“Now therefore, the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, etc.] In his letter to him, (<140210>2 Chronicles 2:10) as for the phrase “my lord”, which some think is used, because Hiram was tributary to Solomon, it may only be a respectful way of speaking: let him send unto his servants; Hiram accepted thereof as a proper reward for the work of his servants.”
