Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Kings 5:6:

• Kupsabiny: “So I am requesting that you make for me an order for cedars of Lebanon to be cut for me. My people will work with yours and your people will be given everything you are going to ask. I think you are aware that we do not have a person who knows how to split/cut timber/poles the way you the people of Sidon do.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “So would you please give the order to cut trees, cedars of Lebanon, for me. My men will also be with your men working with them. How much wages you decide on, I will give your men that much wages. You surely know that we do not know how to cut wood like the Sidonians.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “‘So you command your men to cut cedar trees in Lebanon for me. I will-have- my men -help them, and I will-give- your men -wage according to what you want. For you know that no one among us (excl.) here who is good/skilled to cut trees like your men who come-from-Sidon.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “‘o I am requesting that you command your workers to cut cedar trees for me. My men will work with them, and I will pay your workers whatever you decide. But my men cannot do the work alone, because they do not know how to cut down trees like your workers from Sidon city do.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
