1 Kings 9

1And it came to pass when SolomonH8010 had completedH3615 the buildingH1129 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and the king's houseH1004, and all Solomon's desireH2654 which he wasH1961 pleasedH2654 to do, 2that Jehovah appearedH7200 to SolomonH8010 the secondH8145 timeH8145, as he had appearedH7200 to him at GibeonH1391. 3And Jehovah saidH559 to him, I have heardH8085 thy prayerH8605 and thy supplicationH8467 which thou hast madeH7760 before me: I have hallowed this houseH1004, which thou hast builtH1129, to putH7760 my nameH8034 there for everH5769; and mine eyesH5869 and my heartH3820 shall beH1961 there perpetually. 4And [as for] thee, if thou wilt walkH1980 before me, as DavidH1732 thy fatherH1 walkedH1980, in integrityH8537 of heartH3824, and in uprightnessH3476, to do according to all that I have commandedH6680 thee, [and] wilt keepH8104 my statutesH2706 and mine ordinancesH4941; 5then will I establishH6965 the throneH3678 of thy kingdomH4467 over IsraelH3478 for everH5769, as I promised to DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, sayingH559, There shall not fail thee a manH376 upon the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478. 6[But] if ye shall at all turnH7725 from following me, ye or your children, and will not keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687, my statutesH2708 which I have setH5414 before you, but goH1980 and serveH5647 otherH312 1godsH430, and worship them; 7then will I cutH3772 off IsraelH3478 out of the landH127 which I have givenH5414 them; and the houseH1004, which I have hallowed to my nameH8034, will I cast out of my sight; and IsraelH3478 shall beH1961 a proverbH4912 and a by word among all peoplesH5971; 8and this houseH1004, [which] is high, every oneH2088 that passesH5674 by it shall beH1961 astonished at, and shall hissH8319, and they shall sayH559, WhyH4100 has Jehovah done thusH3602 to this landH776 and to this houseH1004? 9And they shall sayH559, Because they forsook Jehovah their 2GodH430, who broughtH935 forthH3318 their fathersH1 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and have attached themselves to otherH312 3godsH430, and have worshipped them and servedH5647 them; thereforeH3651 has Jehovah broughtH935 upon them all this evilH7451. 10And it came to pass at the endH7097 of twentyH6242 yearsH8141, when SolomonH8010 had builtH1129 the twoH8147 housesH1004, the houseH1004 of Jehovah and the king's houseH1004, 11HiramH2438 the kingH4428 of TyreH6865 having furnished SolomonH8010 with cedar-trees and cypress-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 that SolomonH8010 had givenH5414 him; and they did not please him. 13And he saidH559, What citiesH5892 are these which thou hast givenH5414 me, my brotherH251? And he calledH7121 them the landH776 of CabulH3521 to this dayH3117. 14And HiramH2438 had sentH7971 to the kingH4428 oneH3967 hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 talentsH3603 of goldH2091. 15And this is the account 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. 16— PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 had goneH5927 up and takenH3920 GezerH1507, and burnedH8313 it with fireH784, and slainH2026 the CanaanitesH3669 that dweltH3427 in the cityH5892, and givenH5414 it as a dowry to his daughterH1323, Solomon's wifeH802. 17— And SolomonH8010 builtH1129 GezerH1507, and lower Beth-horonH1032, 18and BaalathH1191, and Tadmor in the wildernessH4057, in the landH776, 19and all the store-cities that SolomonH8010 had, and citiesH5892 for chariotsH7393, and citiesH5892 for the horsemenH6571, and that which SolomonH8010 desired to buildH1129 in JerusalemH3389, and on LebanonH3844, and in all the landH776 of his dominionH4475. 20All 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, upon them did SolomonH8010 impose a tribute of bondservice until this dayH3117. 22But of the children of IsraelH3478 did SolomonH8010 makeH5414 no bondmen; but they were menH376 of warH4421, and his servantsH5650, and his chiefsH8269, and his captains, and captains of his chariotsH7393, and his horsemenH6571. 23These were the chiefH8269 superintendents that were over Solomon's workH4399, fiveH2568 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572, that ruled over the peopleH5971 that wrought in the workH4399. 24But Pharaoh's daughterH1323 cameH5927 up out of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 to her houseH1004 which he had builtH1129 for her: thenH227 he builtH1129 MilloH4407. 25And threeH7969 timesH6471 in the yearH8141 did SolomonH8010 offer up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings upon the altarH4196 that he had builtH1129 to Jehovah, and he burned incenseH6999 upon that which was before Jehovah. So he finished the houseH1004. 26And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 madeH6213 a fleet 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 fleet his servantsH5650, shipmen that had knowledge of the seaH3220, with the servantsH5650 of SolomonH8010; 28and they wentH935 to OphirH211, and fetched thence goldH2091, fourH702 hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 talentsH3603, and broughtH935 it to kingH4428 SolomonH8010.
