And it came to pass, when Solomon{H8010} had finished{H3615} the building{H1129} of the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068} and the king's{H4428} house,{H1004} and all Solomon's{H8010} desire{H2837} which he was pleased{H2654} to do,{H6213}

that Jehovah{H3068} appeared{H7200} to Solomon{H8010} the second time,{H8145} as he had appeared{H7200} unto him at Gibeon.{H1391}

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto him, I have heard{H8085} thy prayer{H8605} and thy supplication,{H8467} that thou hast made{H2603} before{H6440} me: I have hallowed{H6942} this house,{H1004} which thou hast built,{H1129} to put{H7760} my name{H8034} there for{H5704} ever;{H5769} and mine eyes{H5869} and my heart{H3820} shall be there perpetually.{H3117}

And as for thee, if thou wilt walk{H3212} before{H6440} me, as David{H1732} thy father{H1} walked,{H1980} in integrity{H8537} of heart,{H3824} and in uprightness,{H3476} to do{H6213} according to all that I have commanded{H6680} thee, and wilt keep{H8104} my statutes{H2706} and mine ordinances;{H4941}

then I will establish{H6965} the throne{H3678} of thy kingdom{H4467} over Israel{H3478} for ever,{H5769} according as I promised{H1696} to David{H1732} thy father,{H1} saying,{H559} There shall not fail{H3772} thee a man{H376} upon the throne{H3678} of Israel.{H3478}

But if ye shall{H7725} turn{H7725} away from following{H310} me, ye or your children,{H1121} and not keep{H8104} my commandments{H4687} and my statutes{H2708} which I have set{H5414} before{H6440} you, but shall go{H1980} and serve{H5647} other{H312} gods,{H430} and worship{H7812} them;

then will I cut off{H3772} Israel{H3478} out{H6440} of the land{H127} which I have given{H5414} them; and this house,{H1004} which I have hallowed{H6942} for my name,{H8034} will I cast out{H7971} of my sight;{H6440} and Israel{H3478} shall be a proverb{H4912} and a byword{H8148} among all peoples.{H5971}

And though this house{H1004} is so high,{H5945} yet shall every one that passeth{H5674} by it be astonished,{H8074} and shall hiss;{H8319} and they shall say,{H559} Why hath Jehovah{H3068} done{H6213} thus unto this land,{H776} and to this house?{H1004}

and they shall answer,{H559} Because they forsook{H5800} Jehovah{H3068} their God,{H430} who brought forth{H3318} their fathers{H1} out of the land{H776} of Egypt,{H4714} and laid hold{H2388} on other{H312} gods,{H430} and worshipped{H7812} them, and served{H5647} them: therefore hath Jehovah{H3068} brought{H935} all this evil{H7451} upon them.

And it came to pass at the end{H7097} of twenty{H6242} years,{H8141} wherein Solomon{H8010} had built{H1129} the two{H8147} houses,{H1004} the house{H1004} of Jehovah{H3068} and the king's{H4428} house{H1004}

(now Hiram{H2438} the king{H4428} of Tyre{H6865} had furnished{H5375} Solomon{H8010} with cedar -{H730} trees{H6086} and fir -{H1265} trees,{H6086} and with gold,{H2091} according to all his desire),{H2656} that then{H227} king{H4428} Solomon{H8010} gave{H5414} Hiram{H2438} twenty{H6242} cities{H5892} in the land{H776} of Galilee.{H1551}

And Hiram{H2438} came out{H3318} from Tyre{H6865} to see{H7200} the cities{H5892} which Solomon{H8010} had given{H5414} him; and they pleased{H3474} him not.

And he said,{H559} What cities{H5892} are these which thou hast given{H5414} me, my brother?{H251} And he called{H7121} them the land{H776} of Cabul{H3521} unto this day.{H3117}

And Hiram{H2438} sent{H7971} to the king{H4428} sixscore{H3967} talents{H3603} of gold.{H2091}

And this is the reason{H1697} of the levy{H4522} which king{H4428} Solomon{H8010} raised,{H5927} to build{H1129} the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068} and his own house,{H1004} and Millo,{H4407} and the wall{H2346} of Jerusalem,{H3389} and Hazor,{H2674} and Megiddo,{H4023} and Gezer.{H1507}

Pharaoh{H6547} king{H4428} of Egypt{H4714} had gone up,{H5927} and taken{H3920} Gezer,{H1507} and burnt{H8313} it with fire,{H784} and slain{H2026} the Canaanites{H3669} that dwelt{H3427} in the city,{H5892} and given{H5414} it for a portion{H7964} unto his daughter,{H1323} Solomon's{H8010} wife.{H802}

And Solomon{H8010} built{H1129} Gezer,{H1507} and Beth-horon{H1032} the nether,{H8481}

and Baalath,{H1191} and Tamar{H8412} in the wilderness,{H4057} in the land,{H776}

and all the store -{H4543} cities{H5892} that Solomon{H8010} had, and the cities{H5892} for his chariots,{H7393} and the cities{H5892} for his horsemen,{H6571} and that{H2837} which Solomon{H8010} desired{H2836} to build{H1129} for his pleasure in Jerusalem,{H3389} and in Lebanon,{H3844} and in all the land{H776} of his dominion.{H4475}

As for all the people{H5971} that were left{H3498} of the Amorites,{H567} the Hittites,{H2850} the Perizzites,{H6522} the Hivites,{H2340} and the Jebusites,{H2983} who were not of the children{H1121} of Israel;{H3478}

their children{H1121} that were left{H3498} after{H310} them in the land,{H776} whom the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} were not able{H3201} utterly to destroy,{H2763} of them did Solomon{H8010} raise{H5927} a levy{H4522} of bondservants{H5647} unto this day.{H3117}

But of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} did Solomon{H8010} make{H5414} no bondservants;{H5650} but they were the men{H582} of war,{H4421} and his servants,{H5650} and his princes,{H8269} and his captains,{H7991} and rulers{H8269} of his chariots{H7393} and of his horsemen.{H6571}

These were the chief{H8269} officers{H5324} that were over Solomon's{H8010} work,{H4399} five{H2568} hundred{H3967} and fifty,{H2572} who bare rule{H7287} over the people{H5971} that wrought{H6213} in the work.{H4399}

But Pharaoh's{H6547} daughter{H1323} came up{H5927} out of the city{H5892} of David{H1732} unto her house{H1004} which [Solomon] had built{H1129} for her: then did he build{H1129} Millo.{H4407}

And three{H7969} times{H6471} a year{H8141} did Solomon{H8010} offer{H5927} burnt-offerings{H5930} and peace-offerings{H8002} upon the altar{H4196} which he built{H1129} unto Jehovah,{H3068} burning incense{H6999} therewith, [upon the altar]{H4196} that was before{H6440} Jehovah.{H3068} So he finished{H7999} the house.{H1004}

And king{H4428} Solomon{H8010} made{H6213} a navy of ships{H590} in Ezion-geber,{H6100} which is beside Eloth,{H359} on the shore{H8193} of the Red{H5488} Sea,{H3220} in the land{H776} of Edom.{H123}

And Hiram{H2438} sent{H7971} in the navy{H590} his servants,{H5650} shipmen{H582} that had knowledge{H3045} of the sea,{H3220} with the servants{H5650} of Solomon.{H8010}

And they came{H935} to Ophir,{H211} and fetched{H3947} from thence gold,{H2091} four{H702} hundred{H3967} and twenty{H6242} talents,{H3603} and brought{H935} it to king{H4428} Solomon.{H8010}
