1 Chronicles 22:4

Also cedar trees in abundance. — Literally, and beams or logs of cedars without number. A rhetorical exaggeration, like that which we have just noted. (See also 1 Chronicles 14:1.)

The Zidonians and they of Tyra (i.e., the Phoenicians) brought much cedar wood — i.e., in the way of ordinary commerce, to barter them for supplies of grain, wine, oil, and other products of the soil, which their own rocky coast-land did not yield in sufficiency. (Comp. 1 Chronicles 14:1.) At a later time Hiram entered into an express contract with Solomon to supply the cedar and other materials required for building the Temple (1 Kings 5:8).
