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.
