1
And it came to pass, when Solomon[H8010] had finished[H3615] the building[H1129] of the house[H1004] of the LORD[H3068], and the king's house[H1004], and all Solomon[H8010]'s desire[H2837] which he was pleased[H2654] to do[H6213],
2
That the LORD[H3068]appeared[H7200] to Solomon[H8010] the second time[H8145], as he had appeared[H7200] unto him at Gibeon[H1391].
3
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559] unto him, I have heard[H8085] thy prayer[H8605] and thy supplication[H8467], that thou hast made[H2603]before[H6440] me: I have hallowed[H6942] this house[H1004], which thou hast built[H1129], to put[H7760] my name[H8034] there for[H5704]ever[H5769]; and mine eyes[H5869] and mine heart[H3820] shall be there perpetually[H3117].
4
And if thou wilt walk[H3212]before[H6440] me, as David[H1732] thy father[H1]walked[H1980], in integrity[H8537] of heart[H3824], and in uprightness[H3476], to do[H6213] according to all that I have commanded[H6680] thee, and wilt keep[H8104] my statutes[H2706] and my judgments[H4941]:
5
Then I will establish[H6965] the throne[H3678] of thy kingdom[H4467] upon Israel[H3478] for ever[H5769], as I promised[H1696] to David[H1732] thy father[H1], saying[H559], There shall not fail[H3772] thee a man[H376] upon the throne[H3678] of Israel[H3478].
6
But if ye shall at all[H7725]turn[H7725] from following[H310] me, ye or your children[H1121], and will not keep[H8104] my commandments[H4687] and my statutes[H2708] which I have set[H5414]before[H6440] you, but go[H1980] and serve[H5647]other[H312]gods[H430], and worship[H7812] them:
7
Then will I cut off[H3772]Israel[H3478]out[H6440] of the land[H127] which I have given[H5414] them; and this house[H1004], which I have hallowed[H6942] for my name[H8034], will I cast out[H7971] of my sight[H6440]; and Israel[H3478] shall be a proverb[H4912] and a byword[H8148] among all people[H5971]:
8
And at this house[H1004], which is high[H5945], every one that passeth[H5674] by it shall be astonished[H8074], and shall hiss[H8319]; and they shall say[H559], Why hath the LORD[H3068]done[H6213] thus unto this land[H776], and to this house?[H1004]
9
And they shall answer[H559], Because they forsook[H5800] the LORD[H3068] their God[H430], who brought[H935]forth[H3318] their fathers[H1] out of the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], and have taken hold[H2388] upon other[H312]gods[H430], and have worshipped[H7812] them, and served[H5647] them: therefore hath the LORD[H3068]brought[H935] upon them all this evil[H7451].
10
And it came to pass at the end[H7097] of twenty[H6242]years[H8141], when Solomon[H8010] had built[H1129] the two[H8147]houses[H1004], the house[H1004] of the LORD[H3068], and the king's house[H1004],
11
( Now Hiram[H2438] the king[H4428] of Tyre[H6865] had furnished[H5375]Solomon[H8010] with cedar[H730]trees[H6086] and fir[H1265]trees[H6086], and with gold[H2091], according to all his desire[H2656],) that then[H227]king[H4428]Solomon[H8010]gave[H5414]Hiram[H2438]twenty[H6242]cities[H5892] in the land[H776] of Galilee[H1551].
12
And Hiram[H2438] came out[H3318] from Tyre[H6865] to see[H7200] the cities[H5892] which Solomon[H8010] had given[H5414] him; and they pleased[H3474] him not.
13
And he said[H559], What cities[H5892] are these which thou hast given[H5414] me, my brother?[H251] And he called[H7121] them the land[H776] of Cabul[H3521] unto this day[H3117].
14
And Hiram[H2438]sent[H7971] to the king[H4428]sixscore[H3967]talents[H3603] of gold[H2091].
15
And this is the reason[H1697] of the levy[H4522] which king[H4428]Solomon[H8010]raised[H5927]; for to build[H1129] the house[H1004] of the LORD[H3068], and his own house[H1004], and Millo[H4407], and the wall[H2346] of Jerusalem[H3389], and Hazor[H2674], and Megiddo[H4023], and Gezer[H1507].
16
For Pharaoh[H6547]king[H4428] of Egypt[H4714] had gone up[H5927], and taken[H3920]Gezer[H1507], and burnt[H8313] it with fire[H784], and slain[H2026] the Canaanites[H3669] that dwelt[H3427] in the city[H5892], and given[H5414] it for a present[H7964] unto his daughter[H1323], Solomon's wife[H802].
17
And Solomon[H8010]built[H1129]Gezer[H1507], and Bethhoron[H1032] the nether[H8481],
18
And Baalath[H1191], and Tadmor[H8412] in the wilderness[H4057], in the land[H776],
19
And all the cities[H5892] of store[H4543]that[H2837]Solomon[H8010] had, and cities[H5892] for his chariots[H7393], and cities[H5892] for his horsemen[H6571], and that[H2837] which Solomon[H8010]desired[H2836] to build[H1129] in Jerusalem[H3389], and in Lebanon[H3844], and in all the land[H776] of his dominion[H4475].
20
And all the people[H5971] that were left[H3498] of the Amorites[H567], Hittites[H2850], Perizzites[H6522], Hivites[H2340], and Jebusites[H2983], which were not of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478],
21
Their children[H1121] that were left[H3498]after[H310] them in the land[H776], whom the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] also were not able[H3201] utterly to destroy[H2763], upon those did Solomon[H8010]levy[H5927] a tribute[H4522] of bondservice[H5647] unto this day[H3117].
22
But of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] did Solomon[H8010]make[H5414] no bondmen[H5650]: but they were men[H582] of war[H4421], and his servants[H5650], and his princes[H8269], and his captains[H7991], and rulers[H8269] of his chariots[H7393], and his horsemen[H6571].
23
These were the chief[H8269] of the officers[H5324] that were over Solomon's work[H4399], five[H2568]hundred[H3967] and fifty[H2572], which bare rule[H7287] over the people[H5971] that wrought[H6213] in the work[H4399].
24
But Pharaoh's daughter[H1323] came up[H5927] out of the city[H5892] of David[H1732] unto her house[H1004] which Solomon had built[H1129] for her: then did he build[H1129]Millo[H4407].
25
And three[H7969]times[H6471] in a year[H8141] did Solomon[H8010]offer[H5927] burnt offerings[H5930] and peace offerings[H8002] upon the altar[H4196] which he built[H1129] unto the LORD[H3068], and he burnt incense[H6999] upon the altar[H4196] that was before[H6440] the LORD[H3068]. So he finished[H7999] the house[H1004].
26
And king[H4428]Solomon[H8010]made[H6213] a navy of ships[H590] in Eziongeber[H6100], which is beside Eloth[H359], on the shore[H8193] of the Red[H5488]sea[H3220], in the land[H776] of Edom[H123].
27
And Hiram[H2438]sent[H7971] in the navy[H590] his servants[H5650], shipmen[H582] that had knowledge[H3045] of the sea[H3220], with the servants[H5650] of Solomon[H8010].
28
And they came[H935] to Ophir[H211], and fetched[H3947] from thence gold[H2091], four[H702]hundred[H3967] and twenty[H6242]talents[H3603], and brought[H935] it to king[H4428]Solomon[H8010].
