1And it cameH1961 to passH1961 at the endH7093 of twentyH6242 yearsH8141, whereinH834 SolomonH8010 had builtH1129 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and his ownH1961 houseH1004, 2that the citiesH5892 whichH834 HuramH2361 had givenH5414 to SolomonH8010, SolomonH8010 builtH1129 them, and causedH5414 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 to dweltH3427 there. 3And SolomonH8010 went to Hamath-zobahH2578, and prevailedH2388 againstH5921 it. 4And he builtH1129 TadmorH8412 in the wildernessH4057, and allH3605 the storeH4543 citiesH5892, whichH834 he builtH1129 in HamathH2574. 5Also he builtH1129 Beth-horonH1032 the upperH5945, and Beth-horonH1032 the nether, fenced citiesH5892, with wallsH2346, gatesH1817, and barsH1280; 6and BaalathH1191, and allH3605 the storeH4543 citiesH5892 that SolomonH8010 had, and allH3605 the citiesH5892 for his chariotsH7393, and the citiesH5892 for his horsemenH6571, and allH3605 that SolomonH8010 desired to buildH1129 for his pleasure in JerusalemH3389, and in LebanonH3844, and in allH3605 the landH776 of his dominion. 7As for allH3605 the peopleH5971 that were leftH3498 of the HittitesH2850, and the AmoritesH567, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the HivitesH2340, and the JebusitesH2983, whichH834 were notH3808 of IsraelH3478; 8of their childrenH1121 that were leftH3498 afterH310 them in the landH776, whomH834 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 consumedH3615 notH3808, of them didH834 SolomonH8010 raise a levy of bondservants, unto this dayH3117. 9But of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH834 SolomonH8010 makeH5414 noH3808 servantsH5650 for his workH4399; but they were menH376 of warH4421, and chiefH8269 of his captainsH8269, and rulersH8269 of his chariotsH7393 and of his horsemenH6571. 10And theseH428 were the chiefH8269 officersH8269 of kingH4428 SolomonH8010, even twoH3967 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572, that bare ruleH7287 over the peopleH5971, 11And SolomonH8010 broughtH935 upH5927 the daughterH1323 of PharaohH6547 outH413 of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 unto the houseH1004 that he had builtH1129 for herH413: for he saidH559, My wifeH802 shall notH3808 dwellH3427 in the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, becauseH3588 the placesH1004 are holyH6944, whereunto the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 hath comeH935. 12Then SolomonH8010 offeredH5927 burntH5930 offeringsH3068 unto the LORDH3068 on the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, whichH834 he had builtH1129 beforeH6440 the porchH197, 13even as the dutyH1697 of everyH3117 dayH3117 requiredH1697, offering according to the commandmentH4687 of MosesH4872, on the sabbathsH7676, and on the newH2320 moonsH2320, and on the setH4150 feastsH4150, threeH7969 timesH6471 in the yearH8141, even in the feastH2282 of unleavenedH4682 breadH4682, and in the feastH2282 of weeksH7620, and in the feastH2282 of tabernacles. 14And he appointedH5975, accordingH5921 to the ordinanceH4941 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1, the courses of the priestsH3548 to their serviceH5656, and the LevitesH3881 to their charges, to praiseH1984, and to ministerH8334 beforeH5048 the priestsH3548, as the dutyH4931 of everyH376 dayH3117 requiredH1697: the doorkeepers also by their courses at everyH376 gateH8179: for soH3651 had DavidH1732 the manH376 of GodH430 commandedH4687. 15And they departedH5493 notH3808 from the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428 unto the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 concerning anyH3605 matterH1697, or concerning the treasuresH214. 16NowH3117 allH3605 the workH4399 of SolomonH8010 was preparedH3559 unto the dayH3117 of the foundationH4143 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and untilH5704 it was finishedH3615. SoH5704 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 was perfected. 17Then wentH1980 SolomonH8010 to Ezion-geberH6100, and to ElothH359, on the seaH3220 shoreH8193 in the landH776 of EdomH123. 18And HuramH2361 sentH7971 him by the handsH3027 of his servantsH5650 shipsH591, and servantsH5650 that had knowledgeH3045 of the seaH3220; and they cameH935 with the servantsH5650 of SolomonH8010 to OphirH211, and fetched from thence fourH702 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 talentsH3603 of goldH2091, and broughtH935 them to kingH4428 SolomonH8010.
