1 # And it came to pass, when Solomon <08010> had finished <03615> (8763) the building <01129> (8800) of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and the king's <04428> house <01004>, and all Solomon's <08010> desire <02837> which he was pleased <02654> (8804) to do <06213> (8800),
2 That the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> (8735) to Solomon <08010> the second time <08145>, as he had appeared <07200> (8738) unto him at Gibeon <01391>.
3 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto him, I have heard <08085> (8804) thy prayer <08605> and thy supplication <08467>, that thou hast made <02603> (8694) before <06440> me: I have hallowed <06942> (8689) this house <01004>, which thou hast built <01129> (8804), to put <07760> (8800) my name <08034> there for <05704> ever <05769>; and mine eyes <05869> and mine heart <03820> shall be there perpetually <03117>.
4 And if thou wilt walk <03212> (8799) before <06440> me, as David <01732> thy father <01> walked <01980> (8804), in integrity <08537> of heart <03824>, and in uprightness <03476>, to do <06213> (8800) according to all that I have commanded <06680> (8765) thee, and wilt keep <08104> (8799) my statutes <02706> and my judgments <04941>:
5 Then I will establish <06965> (8689) the throne <03678> of thy kingdom <04467> upon Israel <03478> for ever <05769>, as I promised <01696> (8765) to David <01732> thy father <01>, saying <0559> (8800), There shall not fail <03772> (8735) thee a man <0376> upon the throne <03678> of Israel <03478>.
6 But if ye shall at all <07725> (8800) turn <07725> (8799) from following <0310> me, ye or your children <01121>, and will not keep <08104> (8799) my commandments <04687> and my statutes <02708> which I have set <05414> (8804) before <06440> you, but go <01980> (8804) and serve <05647> (8804) other <0312> gods <0430>, and worship <07812> (8694) them:
7 Then will I cut off <03772> (8689) Israel <03478> out <06440> of the land <0127> which I have given <05414> (8804) them; and this house <01004>, which I have hallowed <06942> (8689) for my name <08034>, will I cast out <07971> (8762) of my sight <06440>; and Israel <03478> shall be a proverb <04912> and a byword <08148> among all people <05971>:
8 And at this house <01004>, which is high <05945>, every one that passeth <05674> (8802) by it shall be astonished <08074> (8799), and shall hiss <08319> (8804); and they shall say <0559> (8804), Why hath the LORD <03068> done <06213> (8804) thus unto this land <0776>, and to this house <01004>?
9 And they shall answer <0559> (8804), Because they forsook <05800> (8804) the LORD <03068> their God <0430> , who brought forth <03318> (8689) their fathers <01> out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, and have taken hold <02388> (8686) upon other <0312> gods <0430>, and have worshipped <07812> (8691) them, and served <05647> (8799) them: therefore hath the LORD <03068> brought <0935> (8689) upon them all this evil <07451>.
10 # And it came to pass at the end <07097> of twenty <06242> years <08141>, when Solomon <08010> had built <01129> (8804) the two <08147> houses <01004>, the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and the king's <04428> house <01004> ,
11 (Now Hiram <02438> the king <04428> of Tyre <06865> had furnished <05375> (8765) Solomon <08010> with cedar <0730> trees <06086> and fir <01265> trees <06086>, and with gold <02091>, according to all his desire <02656> ,) that then <0227> king <04428> Solomon <08010> gave <05414> (8799) Hiram <02438> twenty <06242> cities <05892> in the land <0776> of Galilee <01551>.
12 And Hiram <02438> came out <03318> (8799) from Tyre <06865> to see <07200> (8800) the cities <05892> which Solomon <08010> had given <05414> (8804) him; and they pleased <03474> (8804) <05869> him not.
13 And he said <0559> (8799), What cities <05892> are these which thou hast given <05414> (8804) me, my brother <0251>? And he called <07121> (8799) them the land <0776> of Cabul <03521> unto this day <03117>.
14 And Hiram <02438> sent <07971> (8799) to the king <04428> sixscore <03967> <06242> talents <03603> of gold <02091>.
15 # And this is the reason <01697> of the levy <04522> which king <04428> Solomon <08010> raised <05927> (8689); for to build <01129> (8800) the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and his own house <01004>, and Millo <04407> , and the wall <02346> of Jerusalem <03389>, and Hazor <02674>, and Megiddo <04023>, and Gezer <01507>.
16 For Pharaoh <06547> king <04428> of Egypt <04714> had gone up <05927> (8804), and taken <03920> (8799) Gezer <01507>, and burnt <08313> (8799) it with fire <0784>, and slain <02026> (8804) the Canaanites <03669> that dwelt <03427> (8802) in the city <05892>, and given <05414> (8799) it for a present <07964> unto his daughter <01323>, Solomon's <08010> wife <0802>.
17 And Solomon <08010> built <01129> (8799) Gezer <01507>, and Bethhoron <01032> the nether <08481>,
18 And Baalath <01191>, and Tadmor <08412> in the wilderness <04057>, in the land <0776>,
19 And all the cities <05892> of store <04543> that Solomon <08010> had, and cities <05892> for his chariots <07393> , and cities <05892> for his horsemen <06571>, and that <02837> which Solomon <08010> desired <02836> (8804) to build <01129> (8800) in Jerusalem <03389>, and in Lebanon <03844>, and in all the land <0776> of his dominion <04475>.
20 And all the people <05971> that were left <03498> (8737) of the Amorites <0567>, Hittites <02850> , Perizzites <06522>, Hivites <02340>, and Jebusites <02983>, which were not of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>,
21 Their children <01121> that were left <03498> (8738) after <0310> them in the land <0776>, whom the children <01121> of Israel <03478> also were not able <03201> (8804) utterly to destroy <02763> (8687), upon those did Solomon <08010> levy <05927> (8686) a tribute <04522> of bondservice <05647> (8802) unto this day <03117>.
22 But of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> did Solomon <08010> make <05414> (8804) no bondmen <05650> : but they were men <0582> of war <04421>, and his servants <05650>, and his princes <08269>, and his captains <07991>, and rulers <08269> of his chariots <07393>, and his horsemen <06571>.
23 These were the chief <08269> of the officers <05324> (8737) that were over Solomon's <08010> work <04399>, five <02568> hundred <03967> and fifty <02572>, which bare rule <07287> (8802) over the people <05971> that wrought <06213> (8804) in the work <04399>.
24 But Pharaoh's <06547> daughter <01323> came up <05927> (8804) out of the city <05892> of David <01732> unto her house <01004> which Solomon had built <01129> (8804) for her: then did he build <01129> (8804) Millo <04407> .
25 And three <07969> times <06471> in a year <08141> did Solomon <08010> offer <05927> (8689) burnt offerings <05930> and peace offerings <08002> upon the altar <04196> which he built <01129> (8804) unto the LORD <03068>, and he burnt incense <06999> (8687) upon the altar <04196> that was before <06440> the LORD <03068>. So he finished <07999> (8765) the house <01004>.
26 And king <04428> Solomon <08010> made <06213> (8804) a navy of ships <0590> in Eziongeber <06100> , which is beside Eloth <0359>, on the shore <08193> of the Red <05488> sea <03220>, in the land <0776> of Edom <0123> .
27 And Hiram <02438> sent <07971> (8799) in the navy <0590> his servants <05650>, shipmen <0582> <0591> that had knowledge <03045> (8802) of the sea <03220>, with the servants <05650> of Solomon <08010>.
28 And they came <0935> (8799) to Ophir <0211>, and fetched <03947> (8799) from thence gold <02091> , four <0702> hundred <03967> and twenty <06242> talents <03603>, and brought <0935> (8686) it to king <04428> Solomon <08010>.
