1And it came to pass at the end7093 of twenty6242 years8141, wherein Solomon8010 had built1129 the house1004 of the LORD3068, and his own house1004,

2That the cities5892 which Huram2361 had restored5414 to Solomon8010, Solomon8010 built1129 them, and caused the children1121 of Israel3478 to dwell3427 there.

3And Solomon8010 went3212 to Hamathzobah2578, and prevailed2388 against it.

4And he built1129 Tadmor8412 in the wilderness4057, and all the store4543 cities5892, which he built1129 in Hamath2574.

5Also he built1129 Bethhoron1032 the upper5945, and Bethhoron1032 the nether8481, fenced4692 cities5892, with walls2346, gates1817, and bars1280;

6And Baalath1191, and all the store4543 cities5892 that Solomon8010 had, and all the chariot7393 cities5892, and the cities5892 of the horsemen6571, and all that Solomon8010 desired2836 2837 to build1129 in Jerusalem3389, and in Lebanon3844, and throughout all the land776 of his dominion4475. all that: Heb. all the desire of Solomon which he desired to build

7As for all the people5971 that were left3498 of the Hittites2850, and the Amorites567, and the Perizzites6522, and the Hivites2340, and the Jebusites2983, which were not of Israel3478,

8But of their children1121, who were left3498 after310 them in the land776, whom the children1121 of Israel3478 consumed3615 not, them did Solomon8010 make to pay5927 tribute4522 until this day3117.

9But of the children1121 of Israel3478 did Solomon8010 make5414 no servants5650 for his work4399; but they were men582 of war4421, and chief8269 of his captains7991, and captains8269 of his chariots7393 and horsemen6571.

10And these were the chief8269 of king4428 Solomon's8010 officers5324 5333, even two hundred3967 and fifty2572, that bare rule7287 over the people5971.

11And Solomon8010 brought up5927 the daughter1323 of Pharaoh6547 out of the city5892 of David1732 unto the house1004 that he had built1129 for her: for he said559, My wife802 shall not dwell3427 in the house1004 of David1732 king4428 of Israel3478, because the places are holy6944, whereunto the ark727 of the LORD3068 hath come935. holy: Heb. holiness

12Then Solomon8010 offered5927 burnt offerings5930 unto the LORD3068 on the altar4196 of the LORD3068, which he had built1129 before6440 the porch197,

13Even after a certain rate1697 every day3117, offering5927 according to the commandment4687 of Moses4872, on the sabbaths7676, and on the new moons2320, and on the solemn feasts4150, three7969 times6471 in the year8141, even in the feast2282 of unleavened bread4682, and in the feast2282 of weeks7620, and in the feast2282 of tabernacles5521.

14And he appointed5975, according to the order4941 of David1732 his father1, the courses4256 of the priests3548 to their service5656, and the Levites3881 to their charges4931, to praise1984 and minister8334 before the priests3548, as the duty1697 of every day3117 required3117: the porters7778 also by their courses4256 at every gate8179: for so had David1732 the man376 of God430 commanded4687. so had David: Heb. so was the commandment of David the man of God

15And they departed5493 not from the commandment4687 of the king4428 unto the priests3548 and Levites3881 concerning any matter1697, or concerning the treasures214.

16Now all the work4399 of Solomon8010 was prepared3559 unto the day3117 of the foundation4143 of the house1004 of the LORD3068, and until it was finished3615. So the house1004 of the LORD3068 was perfected8003.

17Then went1980 Solomon8010 to Eziongeber6100, and to Eloth359, at the sea3220 side8193 in the land776 of Edom123. Eloth: also called, Elath, Deut.2.8.

18And Huram2361 sent7971 him by the hands3027 of his servants5650 ships591 591, and servants5650 that had knowledge3045 of the sea3220; and they went935 with the servants5650 of Solomon8010 to Ophir211, and took3947 thence four702 hundred3967 and fifty2572 talents3603 of gold2091, and brought935 them to king4428 Solomon8010.
