King James Version
Now
at the end of the
twenty years during
which
Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own palace
,
And
it
came
to
pass
at the end of twenty years ,
wherein
Solomon had built the house of the LORD ,
and his own house
,
Solomon
rebuilt
the cities Hiram
had given
him
and settled
Israelites
there.
That
the cities which
Huram
had restored
to
Solomon,
Solomon
built
them,
and caused
the
children
of
Israel
to
dwell
there.
Then
Solomon went to Hamath-zobah
and captured
it.
And
Solomon went to Hamathzobah,
and prevailed
against
it.
He built Tadmor in the wilderness, in
addition
to
all the store cities that
he had
built in Hamath.
And
he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and
all the store cities ,
which
he built in Hamath.
He rebuilt
Upper and Lower
Beth-horon
as
fortified
cities with walls, gates, and bars ,
Also
he built
Bethhoron
the
upper ,
and Bethhoron
the
nether,
fenced
cities ,
with walls, gates, and bars ;
as
well
as
Baalath, all the store cities that belonged
to
Solomon, and all the cities for
his
chariots
and horses
—whatever
he
desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout the land of his dominion.
And
Baalath, and
all the store cities that Solomon had
, and all the chariot
cities ,
and the
cities
of
the
horsemen,
and
all
that
Solomon
desired to build in Jerusalem, and
in
Lebanon, and throughout all
the land of his dominion.
As for all the people who
remained
of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites
(
the people
who
were not Israelites)—
As for all the people that
were
left
of the Hittites, and
the
Amorites, and
the
Perizzites, and
the
Hivites, and the Jebusites,
which
were not of
Israel,
their descendants
who remained
in the land, those
whom the Israelites
were
unable
to
destroy—Solomon
conscripted
these
people
to
be
forced
laborers
, as
they
are
to this day.
But
of
their children,
who were
left
after
them
in the land, whom the children
of
Israel
consumed
not
, them
did
Solomon
make
to pay
tribute
until
this day.
But Solomon
did
not
consign
any
of the Israelites
to
slave
labor,
because
they were his
men of war, his
officers
and captains, and the
commanders
of his chariots and cavalry
.
But of the children
of
Israel
did
Solomon
make
no
servants
for
his
work;
but
they were men of war, and chief
of
his
captains, and captains
of his chariots and horsemen
.
They
were also
the chief officers
for
King Solomon:
250
supervisors
.
And
these
were the chief of
king Solomon's
officers,
even
two
hundred
and
fifty,
that
bare
rule
over
the
people
.
Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up
from
the City of David to
the palace
he had built for her .
For he said, “
My wife must
not live
in the house of David king of Israel, because the places the ark of the LORD has
entered
are
holy
. ”
And
Solomon brought up
the daughter of Pharaoh out
of
the city of David unto
the house
that
he had built for her :
for he said, My wife shall
not dwell
in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are
holy,
whereunto
the ark of the LORD hath
come
.
At
that
time
Solomon offered burnt offerings to
the LORD on the altar of the LORD he had built in
front
of
the portico.
Then
Solomon offered burnt offerings unto
the LORD on the altar of the LORD ,
which
he had built before
the porch,
He
observed
the
daily
requirement
for
offerings
according to the commandment of Moses for
Sabbaths, New Moons, and the three
annual
appointed
feasts —
the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles.
Even
after
a
certain
rate
every
day,
offering
according to the commandment of Moses ,
on
the
sabbaths, and
on
the
new moons, and on
the solemn
feasts ,
three
times
in
the year,
even
in
the
feast of unleavened bread, and
in
the feast of weeks, and in
the feast of tabernacles.
In
keeping
with
the ordinances
of his father David
, Solomon
appointed
the divisions
of the priests over
their service, and the Levites for
their duties
to offer
praise and to
minister before the priests according
to
the daily
requirement.
He
also appointed
gatekeepers
by their divisions
at each
gate ,
for this
had been
the
command
of
David ,
the man of God.
And
he
appointed,
according
to
the order
of David
his father, the courses
of the priests to
their service, and the Levites to
their charges,
to praise and minister before the priests ,
as
the duty
of
every
day
required:
the
porters
also by their courses
at every
gate :
for so
had David the man of God commanded
.
They did
not turn
aside
from the king’s
command
regarding
the priests
or
the Levites or
any matter concerning the treasuries
.
And
they departed
not from the commandment
of
the king
unto
the priests
and
Levites concerning
any matter ,
or
concerning the treasures
.
Thus
all the work of Solomon was carried
out,
from
the day the foundation was
laid
for
the house of the LORD until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed
.
Now
all the work of Solomon was prepared
unto
the day of
the foundation of
the house of the LORD ,
and
until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected
.
Then Solomon
went to Ezion-geber
and to Eloth on
the coast
of Edom.
Then went Solomon
to Eziongeber,
and to Eloth ,
at
the sea
side
in
the
land
of Edom.
So
Hiram
sent him ships
captained
by his servants, along
with
crews
of experienced
sailors.
They went with Solomon’s
servants to Ophir and acquired
from
there
450
talents of gold, which
they
delivered
to King Solomon.
And
Huram
sent him by the
hands
of
his servants ships
, and
servants
that
had
knowledge
of the
sea;
and
they went with the
servants of
Solomon
to Ophir ,
and took
thence
four
hundred
and
fifty
talents of gold, and
brought
them
to king Solomon.
