1
Now it came
about when Solomon
had finished
building
the house
of the LORD,
and the king's
house,
and all
that Solomon
desired
to do,
2
that the LORD
appeared
to Solomon
a second time,
as He had
appeared
to him at Gibeon.
3
The LORD
said
to him, "I have heard
your prayer
and your supplication,
which
you have made
before
Me; I have consecrated
this
house
which
you have built
by putting
My name
there
forever,
and My eyes
and My heart
will be
there
perpetually.
4
"As for you, if
you will walk
before
Me as your father
David
walked,
in integrity
of heart
and uprightness,
doing
according to all
that I have commanded
you and will keep
My statutes
and My ordinances,
5
then I will establish
the throne
of your kingdom
over
Israel
forever,
just
as I promised
to your father
David,
saying,
'
You shall not lack
a man
on
the throne
of
Israel
.'
6
"But if
you or your sons
indeed
turn away
from following
Me, and do not keep
My commandments
and My statutes
which
I have set
before
you, and go
and serve
other
gods
and worship
them,
7
then I will cut off
Israel
from the land
which
I have given
them, and the house
which
I have consecrated
for My name,
I will cast
out of My sight.
So
Israel
will become
a proverb
and a byword
among all
peoples.
8
"And this
house
will become
a heap of ruins;
everyone
who passes
by will be astonished
and hiss
and say,
'
Why
has the LORD
done
thus
to this
land
and
to this
house
?'
9
"And they will say,
'
Because
they forsook
the LORD
their God,
who
brought
their fathers
out of the land
of Egypt,
and adopted
other
gods
and worshiped
them and served
them, therefore
the LORD
has
brought
all
this
adversity
on them.'"
10
It came
about at the end
of twenty
years
in which
Solomon
had built
the two
houses,
the
house
of the LORD
and the king's
house
11
(
Hiram
king
of Tyre
had supplied
Solomon
with cedar
and cypress
timber
and gold
according to all
his desire),
then
King
Solomon
gave
Hiram
twenty
cities
in the land
of Galilee.
12
So Hiram
came
out from Tyre
to see
the cities
which
Solomon
had given
him, and they did not please
him.
13
He said,
"What
are these
cities
which
you have given
me, my brother?"
So they were called
the land
of Cabul
to this
day.
14
And Hiram
sent
to the king
120
talents
of gold.
15
Now this
is the account
of the forced labor
which
King
Solomon
levied
to build
the house
of the LORD,
his own house,
the Millo,
the wall
of Jerusalem,
Hazor,
Megiddo,
and Gezer.
16
For Pharaoh
king
of Egypt
had gone
up and captured
Gezer
and burned
it with fire,
and killed
the Canaanites
who lived
in the city,
and had given
it as a dowry
to his daughter,
Solomon's
wife.
17
So Solomon
rebuilt
Gezer
and the lower
Beth-horon
18
and Baalath
and Tamar
in the wilderness,
in the land
of Judah,
19
and all
the storage
cities
which
Solomon
had,
even the
cities
for his chariots
and the
cities
for his horsemen,
and all
that it pleased
Solomon
to build
in Jerusalem,
in Lebanon,
and in all
the land
under his rule.
20
As for all
the people
who
were left
of the Amorites,
the Hittites,
the Perizzites,
the Hivites
and the Jebusites,
who
were not of the sons
of Israel,
21
their descendants
who
were left
after
them in the land
who
m
the sons
of Israel
were unable
to destroy utterly,
from them Solomon
levied
forced
laborers,
even
to this
day.
22
But Solomon
did not make
slaves
of the sons
of Israel;
for they were men
of war,
his servants,
his princes,
his captains,
his chariot
commanders,
and his horsemen.
23
These
were the chief
officers
who
were over
Solomon's
work,
five
hundred
and fifty,
who
ruled
over the people
doing
the work.
24
As soon
as Pharaoh's
daughter
came
up from the city
of David
to her house
which
Solomon had built
for her, then
he built
the Millo.
25
Now three
times
in a year
Solomon
offered
burnt offerings
and peace offerings
on the altar
which
he built
to the LORD,
burning incense
with them
on the altar
which
was before
the LORD.
So he finished
the house.
26
King
Solomon
also built
a fleet of ships
in Ezion-geber,
which
is near
Eloth
on the shore
of the Red
Sea,
in the land
of Edom.
27
And Hiram
sent
his servants
with the fleet,
sailors
who knew
the sea,
along
with the servants
of Solomon.
28
They went
to Ophir
and took
four
hundred
and twenty
talents
of gold
from there,
and brought
it to King
Solomon.
