What does 1 Kings 5:9 mean?

'My workers will bring the logs down from Lebanon to the sea. I'll float them as rafts to the place you choose, then break them apart so you can take them. You provide food for my household.' 1 Kings 5:9 - Modern Text Bible

(Hiram describes the logistics: he'll deliver the timber by sea, and Solomon will supply food in return.)
