1 And it came1961 to pass at the end7093 of twenty6242 years,8141 wherein834 Solomon8010 had built1129 the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and his own house,1004

2 That the cities5892 which834 Huram2438 had restored5414 to Solomon,8010 Solomon8010 built1129 them, and caused the children1121 of Israel3478 to dwell3427 there.8033

3 And Solomon8010 went3212 to Hamathzobah,2578 and prevailed2388 against5921 it.

4 And he built1129 Tadmor8412 in the wilderness,4057 and all3605 the store4543 cities,5892 which834 he built1129 in Hamath.2574

5 Also he built1129 Bethhoron1032 the upper,5945 and Bethhoron1032 the nether,8481 fenced4692 cities,5892 with walls,2346 gates,1817 and bars;1280

6 And Baalath,1191 and all3605 the store4543 cities5892 that Solomon8010 had,1961 and all3605 the chariot7393 cities,5892 and the cities5892 of the horsemen,6571 and all3605 that Solomon8010 desired2836 to build1129 in Jerusalem,3389 and in Lebanon,3844 and throughout all3605 the land776 of his dominion.4475

7 As for all3605 the people5971 that were left3498 of the Hittites,2850 and the Amorites,567 and the Perizzites,6522 and the Hivites,2340 and the Jebusites,2983 which834 were not of Israel,3478

8 But of their children,1121 who834 were left3498 after310 them in the land,776 whom834 the children1121 of Israel3478 consumed3615 not, them did Solomon8010 make to pay5927 tribute4522 until5704 this2088 day.3117

9 But of the children1121 of Israel3478 did Solomon8010 make5414 no3808 servants5650 for his work;4399 but they were men582 of war,4421 and chief8269 of his captains,7991 and captains8269 of his chariots7393 and horsemen.6571

10 And these428 were the chief8269 of king4428 Solomon's8010 officers,5324 even two hundred3967 and fifty,2572 that bore7287 rule7287 over the people.5971

11 And Solomon8010 brought5927 up the daughter1323 of Pharaoh6547 out of the city5892 of David1732 to the house1004 that he had built1129 for her: for he said,559 My wife802 shall not dwell3427 in the house1004 of David1732 king4428 of Israel,3478 because3588 the places are holy,6944 whereunto834 the ark727 of the LORD3068 has come.935

12 Then227 Solomon8010 offered5927 burnt5930 offerings to the LORD3068 on5921 the altar4196 of the LORD,3068 which834 he had built1129 before6440 the porch,197

13 Even after a certain1697 rate1697 every day,3117 offering5927 according to the commandment4687 of Moses,4872 on the sabbaths,7676 and on the new2320 moons,2320 and on the solemn4150 feasts,4150 three7969 times6471 in the year,8141 even in the feast2282 of unleavened4682 bread, and in the feast2282 of weeks,7620 and in the feast2282 of tabernacles.5521

14 And he appointed,5975 according to the order4941 of David1732 his father,25 the courses4256 of the priests3548 to their service,5656 and the Levites3881 to their charges,4931 to praise1984 and minister8334 before5048 the priests,3548 as the duty1697 of every day3117 required:3117 the porters7778 also by their courses4256 at every gate:8179 for so3651 had David1732 the man376 of God430 commanded.4687

15 And they departed5493 not from the commandment4687 of the king4428 to the priests3548 and Levites3881 concerning any3605 matter,1697 or concerning the treasures.214

16 Now all3605 the work4399 of Solomon8010 was prepared3559 to the day3117 of the foundation4143 of the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and until5704 it was finished.3615 So the house1004 of the LORD3068 was perfected.8003

17 Then227 went1980 Solomon8010 to Eziongeber,6100 and to Eloth,359 at5921 the sea3220 side8193 in the land776 of Edom.123

18 And Huram2438 sent7971 him by the hands3027 of his servants5650 ships,591 and servants5650 that had knowledge3045 of the sea;3220 and they went935 with the servants5650 of Solomon8010 to Ophir,211 and took3947 there8033 four702 hundred3967 and fifty2572 talents3603 of gold,2091 and brought935 them to king4428 Solomon.8010
