Charles Spurgeon Commentary 1 Kings 5:6

"Now therefore command thou that they cut me cedar-trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants; and I will give thee hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt say: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that knoweth how to cut timber like unto the Sidonians." — 1 Kings 5:6 (ASV)

It is not every man who has every gift. Hiram and his Sidonians could hew timber more skillfully than Solomon and his Israelites.

God can always find the right sort of men to do his work. Do not be dispirited because you cannot do everything; why should you?

Should not somebody else have a share, and also be permitted to have the honour of serving his God? It is well that you cannot do all that has to be done, and that somebody else can do something better than you can.
