Berean Standard Bible
And
it
came
to
pass,
when Solomon had finished the
building of
the house of Jehovah,
and the king's
house
, and all Solomon's
desire
which
he was
pleased
to do,
Now
when Solomon had finished building the house of the
LORD
and the royal
palace
, and had
achieved
all that
he had
desired
to do,
that
Jehovah
appeared to Solomon
the
second time, as he had appeared unto
him at Gibeon.
the
LORD
appeared to him
a
second time, as He had appeared to
him at Gibeon.
And Jehovah
said unto
him ,
I have heard thy
prayer and thy
supplication,
that
thou
hast
made
before me :
I have hallowed
this house,
which
thou
hast
built ,
to
put
my name there for
ever
; and
mine
eyes and my heart shall
be there perpetually
.
And the
LORD
said to
him :
“
I have heard your
prayer and petition
before Me .
I have consecrated
this temple
you
have
built by
putting
My Name there forever
; My
eyes and My heart will
be there for
all
time
.
And as for thee
, if thou
wilt
walk before me ,
as David
thy
father walked, in
integrity
of
heart ,
and in
uprightness, to
do
according
to
all that
I have commanded thee
, and wilt
keep my statutes and mine
ordinances ;
And as for you
, if you
walk before Me as your
father David
walked, with
a
heart of
integrity
and uprightness, doing
all I have commanded you
, and if
you
keep My statutes and ordinances ,
then I will establish the
throne of
thy
kingdom
over Israel for
ever
, according
as I promised to
David
thy
father ,
saying
, There
shall
not
fail thee
a man upon
the throne of Israel.
then I will establish your
royal
throne over Israel forever
, as I promised your
father David
when
I
said
, ‘You
will
never
fail to
have
a man on
the throne of Israel. ’
But if ye
shall
turn away from following me ,
ye
or
your
children,
and not keep my
commandments and my
statutes which
I have set before you, but
shall
go
and serve other gods, and
worship
them;
But if indeed
you
or
your
sons
turn away from following Me and do
not keep the
commandments and statutes I have set before you, and if
you
go
off
to
serve and
worship
other gods,
then will
I cut off Israel out
of
the land which
I have given them ;
and this house,
which
I have hallowed
for my name ,
will I
cast
out
of my
sight;
and
Israel
shall
be
a
proverb
and a
byword
among all peoples.
then I will
cut off Israel from
the land that
I have given them ,
and I
will
banish
from
My
presence
this temple
I have sanctified
for My Name .
Then
Israel
will become
an
object
of scorn
and ridicule
among all peoples.
And though
this house
is
so
high
, yet
shall
every
one
that
passeth
by it be astonished,
and shall
hiss ;
and they
shall
say, Why hath
Jehovah
done thus
unto
this land ,
and to this house
?
And when
this temple
has
become
a
heap
of
rubble
, all
who
pass
by it will
be appalled
and will
hiss and say, ‘
Why has
the
LORD
done such
a
thing
to
this land and to this temple
? ’
and they
shall
answer, Because they forsook
Jehovah
their God ,
who brought forth
their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and laid
hold
on
other gods, and worshipped
them, and
served
them:
therefore
hath
Jehovah
brought all this evil
upon them.
And others
will
answer, ‘
Because they have
forsaken
the
LORD
their God who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have
embraced
other gods, worshiping
and serving
them —because
of
this
, the
LORD
has
brought all this disaster
upon them. ’”
And
it
came
to
pass
at the end of twenty years ,
wherein
Solomon had
built the
two houses, the house of Jehovah
and the king's
house
,
Now
at the end of the
twenty years during
which
Solomon built these
two houses, the house of the
LORD
and the royal
palace
,
(now
Hiram
the king of Tyre had furnished
Solomon
with cedar -trees
and fir-trees,
and with
gold ,
according
to
all
his desire ),
that
then
king
Solomon
gave
Hiram
twenty
cities
in
the
land
of
Galilee
.
King
Solomon
gave
twenty
towns
in
the land
of
Galilee
to
Hiram
king of Tyre ,
who
had supplied
him
with cedar and cypress
logs
and gold for
his every
desire.
And
Hiram came
out from Tyre to see
the cities
which
Solomon had given him ;
and
they
pleased
him
not.
So
Hiram went
out from Tyre to inspect
the towns
that
Solomon had given him ,
but
he
was
not pleased
with
them
.
And
he
said,
What cities
are these which
thou
hast
given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul unto
this day.
“
What are these towns
you
have
given me, my brother? ”
asked
Hiram,
and he called them the Land of Cabul ,
as
they
are
called
to
this day.
And Hiram sent to
the king sixscore
talents of gold.
And Hiram had
sent the king 120
talents of gold.
And
this is the reason
of the levy
which
king Solomon raised,
to build the house of Jehovah
, and
his own house
, and
Millo
, and the wall of Jerusalem, and
Hazor, and
Megiddo, and Gezer.
This is the account
of the forced
labor
that
King Solomon imposed
to build the house of the
LORD
, his own palace
, the
supporting
terraces
, and the wall of Jerusalem, as
well
as
Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone
up,
and taken
Gezer ,
and
burnt
it with
fire, and
slain
the Canaanites that
dwelt
in the city, and given it for
a portion
unto
his daughter, Solomon's
wife.
Pharaoh king of Egypt had attacked
and captured
Gezer .
He
had
set
it on
fire, killed
the Canaanites who
lived
in the city, and given it as
a dowry
to
his daughter, Solomon’s
wife.
And
Solomon built
Gezer, and
Beth-horon the
nether
,
So
Solomon rebuilt
Gezer, Lower
Beth-horon,
and
Baalath, and Tamar in the wilderness ,
in
the
land
,
Baalath, and Tamar in the Wilderness of
Judah
,
and
all the store -
cities that Solomon had ,
and
the
cities
for his chariots ,
and the
cities
for
his
horsemen,
and
that
which
Solomon
desired to build for
his
pleasure
in Jerusalem, and
in
Lebanon, and in
all
the land of his dominion.
as
well
as
all the store cities that Solomon had for his chariots and horses
—whatever
he
desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout
the land of his dominion.
As for all the people that
were
left
of the Amorites, the
Hittites, the
Perizzites, the
Hivites, and the
Jebusites ,
who were not of
the
children
of
Israel;
As for all the people who
remained
of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (the
people
who were not Israelites)—
their children
that
were
left
after
them
in the land, whom the children
of
Israel
were not
able
utterly
to destroy,
of
them
did
Solomon raise
a
levy
of
bondservants
unto
this day.
their descendants
who
remained
in the land, those
whom the Israelites
were unable
to devote
to
destruction
—
Solomon conscripted
these
people
to
be
forced
laborers,
as
they
are
to
this day.
But of the children
of
Israel
did
Solomon
make
no
bondservants;
but
they were the
men of war, and
his servants, and
his princes
, and
his captains, and rulers
of his chariots and of
his
horsemen
.
But Solomon
did
not
consign
any
of the Israelites
to
slavery,
because
they were his
men of war, his servants, his officers
, his captains, and the
commanders
of his chariots and cavalry
.
These
were the chief officers that
were
over Solomon's
work,
five
hundred
and
fifty,
who
bare
rule
over the people that
wrought
in
the work.
They
were also
the chief officers over Solomon’s
projects:
550
supervisors
over the people who
did
the work.
But
Pharaoh's
daughter came
up out
of
the city of David unto
her
house
which
`
Solomon '
had built for her :
then
did
he build
Millo
.
As
soon
as
Pharaoh’s
daughter had
come
up from
the City of David to
the
palace
that
Solomon had built for her ,
he built
the
supporting
terraces
.
And
three times a year did
Solomon offer
burnt -
offerings and peace -
offerings upon
the altar which
he built unto
Jehovah
, burning incense therewith,
`upon
the
altar'
that
was
before Jehovah
. So he finished
the house
.
Three times a year Solomon offered
burnt offerings and peace offerings on
the altar he had
built for
the
LORD
, burning incense with
them
before the
LORD
. So he completed
the temple
.
And
king Solomon made
a navy
of ships in
Ezion-geber, which is beside
Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea ,
in
the
land
of
Edom
.
King Solomon also
assembled
a fleet
of ships at
Ezion-geber, which is near
Eloth in
Edom
, on the shore of the Red Sea.
And Hiram sent in
the
navy
his servants, shipmen
that
had
knowledge
of
the sea, with
the servants of
Solomon
.
And Hiram sent his servants, men
who
knew
the sea, to
serve
in
the fleet
with
Solomon’s
servants.
And
they came
to Ophir ,
and fetched
from
thence
gold ,
four
hundred
and
twenty
talents ,
and brought
it to king
Solomon.
They sailed
to Ophir and imported
gold from
there—420
talents —
and delivered
it to Solomon.
