chapter 8
1
And at
the end of twenty years after Solomon had built the house of the Lord and his
own house:
2 He built the cities which Hiram had given to Solomon,
and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
3 He went also into Emath Suba, and possessed it.
4 And he built Palmira in the desert, and he built
other strong cities in Emath.
5 And he built Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the
nether, walled cities with Rates and bars and locks.
6 Balaath also and all the strong cities that were
Solomon's, and all the cities of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen.
All that Solomon had a mind, and designed, he built in Jerusalem and in
Libanus, and in all the land of his dominion.
7 All the people that were left of the Hethites, and
the Amorrhites, and the Pherezites, and the Hevites, and the Jebusites, that
were not of the stock of Israel:
8 Of their children, and of the posterity, whom the
children of Israel had not slain, Solomon made to be the tributaries, unto this
day.
9 But of the children of Israel he set none to serve in
the king's works: for they were men of war, and chief captains, and rulers of
his chariots and horsemen.
10 And all the chief captains of king Solomon's army
were two hundred and fifty, who taught the people.
11 And he removed the daughter of Pharao from the city
of David, to the house which he had built for her. For the king said: My wife
shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, for it is sanctified:
because the ark of the Lord came into it.
12 Then Solomon offered holocausts to the Lord upon the
altar of the Lord which he had built before the porch,
13 That every day an offering might be made on it
according to the ordinance of Moses, in the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and
on the festival days three times a year, that is to say, in the feast of
unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.
14 And he appointed according to the order of David his
father the offices of the priests in their ministries: and the Levites in their
order to give praise, and minister before the priests according to the duty of
every day: and the porters in their divisions by gate and gate: for so David
the man of God had commanded.
15 And the priests and Levites departed not from the
king's commandments, as to any thing that he had commanded, and as to the
keeping of the treasures.
16 Solomon had all charges prepared, from the day that
he founded the house of the Lord, until the day wherein he finished it.
17 Then Solomon went to Asiongaber, and to Ailath, on
the coast of the Red Sea, which is in the land of Edom.
18 And Hiram sent him ships by the hands of his
servants, and skilful mariners, and they went with Solomon's servants to Ophir,
and they took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought it to
king Solomon.
