1 Kings 9

1And it cameH1961 to passH1961 when SolomonH8010 had finishedH3615 the buildingH1129 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and allH3605 Solomon’sH8010 desireH2654 whichH834 he was pleasedH2654 to doH6213, 2that the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to SolomonH8010 the secondH8145 time, as he had appearedH7200 unto him at GibeonH1391. 3And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, I have heardH8085 thy prayerH8605 and thy supplicationH8467, that thou hast madeH7760 beforeH6440 meH413: I have hallowed this houseH1004, whichH834 thou hast builtH1129, to putH7760 my nameH8034 there for everH5769; and mine eyesH5869 and mine heartH3820 shall be there perpetuallyH5769. 4And as for thee, ifH518 thou wilt walkH1980 beforeH6440 meH6440, as DavidH1732 thy fatherH1 walkedH1980, in integrityH8537 of heartH3824, and in uprightnessH3476, to doH6213 accordingH4941 to allH3605 that I have commandedH6680 thee, and wilt keepH8104 my statutesH2706 and my judgmentsH4941; 5then I will establishH6965 the throneH3678 of thy kingdomH4467 over IsraelH3478 for everH5769; accordingH5921 as I promisedH1696 to DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, sayingH559, There shall notH3808 failH3772 thee a manH376 uponH5921 the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478. 6But ifH518 ye shall turnH7725 awayH7725 from followingH310 meH5414, ye or your childrenH1121 and notH3808 keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708 whichH834 I have setH5414 beforeH6440 youH859, but shall goH1980 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshipH7812 them: 7then will I cutH3772 offH3772 IsraelH3478 outH7971 of the landH127 whichH834 I have givenH5414 them; and this houseH1004, whichH834 I have hallowed for my nameH8034, will I castH5414 outH7971 of my sightH6440; and IsraelH3478 shall be a proverbH4912 and a bywordH4912 among allH3605 peoplesH5971: 8And though this houseH1004 be soH6213 high, yet shall everyH3605 one that passeth by be astonishedH8074, and shall hissH8319; and they shall sayH559, WhyH4100 hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thusH3602 unto this landH776, and to this houseH1004? 9and they shall answerH559, BecauseH5921 they forsook the LORDH3068 their GodH430, whichH834 broughtH935 forthH3318 their fathersH1 outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and laidH2388 holdH2388 on otherH312 godsH430, and worshipped them, and servedH5647 them: therefore hath the LORDH3068 broughtH935 allH3605 this evilH7451 uponH5921 them. 10And it cameH1961 to passH1961 at the endH7097 of twentyH6242 yearsH8141, whereinH834 SolomonH8010 had builtH1129 the twoH8147 housesH1004, the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 and the king’sH4428 houseH1004, 11(nowH5414 HiramH2438 the kingH4428 of TyreH6865 had furnished SolomonH8010 with cedarH730 treesH6086 and firH1265 treesH6086, and with goldH2091, according to allH3605 his desireH2656,) that then kingH4428 SolomonH8010 gaveH5414 HiramH2438 twentyH6242 citiesH5892 in the landH776 of GalileeH1551. 12And HiramH2438 cameH3318 outH3318 from TyreH6865 to seeH7200 the citiesH5892 whichH834 SolomonH8010 had givenH5414 him; and they pleasedH5869 him notH3808. 13And he saidH559, WhatH4100 citiesH5892 are theseH428 whichH834 thou hast givenH5414 meH5414, 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 reasonH1697 of the levy whichH834 kingH4428 SolomonH8010 raisedH5927; for to buildH1129 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and his own houseH1004, and MilloH4407, and the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389, and HazorH2674, and MegiddoH4023, and GezerH1507. 16PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 had goneH5927 upH5927, and takenH3920 GezerH1507, and burntH5927 it with fireH784, and slainH2026 the CanaanitesH3669 that dweltH3427 in the cityH5892, and givenH5414 it for a portion unto his daughterH1323, Solomon’sH8010 wifeH802. 17SolomonH8010 builtH1129 GezerH1507, and Beth-horonH1032 the nether, 18and BaalathH1191, and TamarH8559 in the wildernessH4057, in the landH776, 19and allH3605 the storeH4543 citiesH5892 that SolomonH8010 had, and the citiesH5892 for his chariotsH7393, and the citiesH5892 for his horsemenH6571, and that whichH834 SolomonH8010 desired to buildH1129 for his pleasure in JerusalemH3389, and in LebanonH3844, and in allH3605 the landH776 of his dominionH4475. 20As for allH3605 the peopleH5971 that were leftH3498 of the AmoritesH567, the HittitesH2850, the PerizzitesH6522, the HivitesH2340, and the JebusitesH2983, whichH834 were notH3808 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; 21their childrenH1121 that were leftH3498 afterH310 them in the landH776, whomH834 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were notH3808 ableH3201 utterly to destroyH2763, of them didH834 SolomonH8010 raise a levy of bondservants, unto this dayH3117. 22But of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH3808 SolomonH8010 makeH5414 noH3808 bondservants: but they were the menH376 of warH4421, and his servantsH5650, and his princesH8269, and his captainsH8269, and rulersH8269 of his chariotsH7393 and of his horsemenH6571. 23TheseH428 were the chiefH8269 officersH8269 that were over Solomon’sH8010 workH4399, fiveH2568 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572, whichH834 bare ruleH7287 over the peopleH5971 that wrought in the workH4399. 24But Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323 cameH5927 upH5927 outH413 of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 unto herH413 houseH1004 whichH834 Solomon had builtH1129 for herH413: then didH834 he buildH1129 MilloH4407. 25And threeH7969 timesH6471 in a yearH8141 didH834 SolomonH8010 offerH6999 burntH5930 offeringsH8002 and peaceH8002 offeringsH8002 uponH5921 the altarH4196 whichH834 he builtH1129 unto the LORDH3068, burningH6999 incenseH6999 therewith, uponH5921 the altarH4196 that was beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. SoH5927 he finishedH7999 the houseH1004. 26And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 madeH6213 a navy of shipsH590 in Ezion-geberH6100, whichH834 is besideH5921 ElothH359, on the shoreH8193 of the Red SeaH3220, in the landH776 of EdomH123. 27And HiramH2438 sentH7971 in the navy his servantsH5650, shipmen that had knowledgeH3045 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.
