1 Kings 9:10-28

10And it came to pass at the endH7097 of twentyH6242 yearsH8141, wherein SolomonH8010 had builtH1129 the twoH8147 housesH1004, the houseH1004 of Jehovah and the king’sH4428 houseH1004 11(now HiramH2438 the kingH4428 of TyreH6865 had furnished SolomonH8010 with cedar-trees and fir-trees, and with goldH2091, according to all his desireH2656), that thenH227 kingH4428 SolomonH8010 gaveH5414 HiramH2438 twentyH6242 citiesH5892 in the landH776 of GalileeH1551. 12And HiramH2438 cameH3318 out from TyreH6865 to seeH7200 the citiesH5892 which SolomonH8010 had givenH5414 him; and they pleased him not. 13And he saidH559, What citiesH5892 are these which thou hast givenH5414 me, my brotherH251? And he calledH7121 them the landH776 of CabulH3521 unto this dayH3117. 14And HiramH2438 sentH7971 to the kingH4428 sixscore talentsH3603 of goldH2091.

15And this is the reason of the levy which kingH4428 SolomonH8010 raised, to buildH1129 the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and his own houseH1004, and MilloH4407, and the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389, and HazorH2674, and MegiddoH4023, and GezerH1507. 16PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 had goneH5927 up, and takenH3920 GezerH1507, and burnt it with fireH784, and slainH2026 the CanaanitesH3669 that dweltH3427 in the cityH5892, and givenH5414 it for a portion unto his daughterH1323, Solomon’s wifeH802. 17And SolomonH8010 builtH1129 GezerH1507, and Beth-horonH1032 the nether, 18and BaalathH1191, and TamarH8559 in the wildernessH4057, in the landH776, 19and all the store-cities that SolomonH8010 had, and the citiesH5892 for his chariotsH7393, and the citiesH5892 for his horsemenH6571, and that which SolomonH8010 desired to buildH1129 for his pleasure in JerusalemH3389, and in LebanonH3844, and in all the landH776 of his dominionH4475. 20As for all the peopleH5971 that were leftH3498 of the AmoritesH567, the HittitesH2850, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children of IsraelH3478; 21their children that were leftH3498 after them in the landH776, whom the children of IsraelH3478 were not ableH3201 utterly to destroyH2763, of them did SolomonH8010 raise a levy of bondservants unto this dayH3117. 22But of the children of IsraelH3478 did SolomonH8010 makeH5414 no bondservants; but they were the menH376 of warH4421, and his servantsH5650, and his princesH8269, and his captains, and rulers of his chariotsH7393 and of his horsemenH6571.

23These were the chiefH8269 officers that were over Solomon’s workH4399, fiveH2568 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572, who bare ruleH7287 over the peopleH5971 that wrought in the workH4399.

24But Pharaoh’s daughterH1323 cameH5927 up out of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 unto her houseH1004 which Solomon had builtH1129 for her: thenH227 did he buildH1129 MilloH4407.

25And threeH7969 timesH6471 in a yearH8141 did SolomonH8010 offer burnt-offerings and peace-offerings upon the altarH4196 which he builtH1129 unto Jehovah, burning incenseH6999 therewith, upon the altarH4196 that was before Jehovah. So he finished the houseH1004.

26And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 madeH6213 a navy of shipsH590 in Ezion-geberH6100, which is beside Eloth, on the shoreH8193 of the Red SeaH3220, in the landH776 of EdomH123. 27And HiramH2438 sentH7971 in the navy his servantsH5650, shipmen that had knowledge of the seaH3220, with the servantsH5650 of SolomonH8010. 28And they cameH935 to OphirH211, and fetched from thence goldH2091, fourH702 hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 talentsH3603, and broughtH935 it to kingH4428 SolomonH8010.
