1And 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)_,
2That the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> (8735) to Solomon <08010> the second time <08145>_, as he had appeared <07200> (8738) unto him at Gibeon <01391>_.
3And 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>_.
4And 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>_:
5Then 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:
7Then 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>_:
8And 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>_?
9And 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>_.
10And 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>_.
12And 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. {pleased...: Heb. were not right in his eyes}
13And 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>_. {Cabul: that is, displeasing, or, dirty}
14And Hiram <02438> sent <07971> (8799) to the king <04428> sixscore <03967> <06242> talents <03603> of gold <02091>_.
15And 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>_.
17And Solomon <08010> built <01129> (8799) Gezer <01507>_, and Bethhoron <01032> the nether <08481>_,
18And Baalath <01191>_, and Tadmor <08412> in the wilderness <04057>_, in the land <0776>_,
19And 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>_. {that which...: Heb. the desire of Solomon which he desired}
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>_,
21Their 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>_.
22But 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>_.
23These [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>_.
24But 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>_.
25And 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>_. {upon the altar that: Heb. upon it, etc}
26And 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>_. {shore: Heb. lip}
27And 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>_.
28And 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>_.
