And it came to pass at the end{H7093} of twenty{H6242} years,{H8141} wherein Solomon{H8010} had built{H1129} the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068} and his own house,{H1004}

that the cities{H5892} which Huram{H2361} had given{H5414} to Solomon,{H8010} Solomon{H8010} built{H1129} them, and caused the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} to dwell{H3427} there.

And Solomon{H8010} went{H3212} to Hamath-zobah,{H2578} and prevailed{H2388} against it.

And he built{H1129} Tadmor{H8412} in the wilderness,{H4057} and all the store -{H4543} cities,{H5892} which he built{H1129} in Hamath.{H2574}

Also he built{H1129} Beth-horon{H1032} the upper,{H5945} and Beth-horon{H1032} the nether,{H8481} fortified{H4692} cities,{H5892} with walls,{H2346} gates,{H1817} and bars;{H1280}

and Baalath,{H1191} and all the store -{H4543} cities{H5892} that Solomon{H8010} had, and all the cities{H5892} for his chariots,{H7393} and the cities{H5892} for his horsemen,{H6571} and all that 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 Hittites,{H2850} and the Amorites,{H567} and the Perizzites,{H6522} and the Hivites,{H2340} and the Jebusites,{H2983} that were not of Israel;{H3478}

of their children{H1121} that were left{H3498} after{H310} them in the land,{H776} whom the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} consumed{H3615} not, of them did Solomon{H8010} raise{H5927} a levy{H4522} [of bondservants] unto this day.{H3117}

But of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} did Solomon{H8010} make{H5414} no servants{H5650} for his work;{H4399} but they were men{H582} of war,{H4421} and chief{H8269} of his captains,{H7991} and rulers{H8269} of his chariots{H7393} and of his horsemen.{H6571}

And these were the chief{H8269} officers{H5324} of king{H4428} Solomon,{H8010} even two hundred{H3967} and fifty,{H2572} that bare rule{H7287} over the people.{H5971}

And Solomon{H8010} brought up{H5927} the daughter{H1323} of Pharaoh{H6547} out of the city{H5892} of David{H1732} unto the house{H1004} that he had built{H1129} for her; for he said,{H559} My wife{H802} shall not dwell{H3427} in the house{H1004} of David{H1732} king{H4428} of Israel,{H3478} because the places are holy,{H6944} whereunto the ark{H727} of Jehovah{H3068} hath come.{H935}

Then Solomon{H8010} offered{H5927} burnt-offerings{H5930} unto Jehovah{H3068} on the altar{H4196} of Jehovah,{H3068} which he had built{H1129} before{H6440} the porch,{H197}

even as the duty{H1697} of every day{H3117} required, offering{H5927} according to the commandment{H4687} of Moses,{H4872} on the sabbaths,{H7676} and on the new moons,{H2320} and on the set feasts,{H4150} three{H7969} times{H6471} in the year,{H8141} [even] in the feast{H2282} of unleavened bread,{H4682} and in the feast{H2282} of weeks,{H7620} and in the feast{H2282} of tabernacles.{H5521}

And he appointed,{H5975} according to the ordinance{H4941} of David{H1732} his father,{H1} the courses{H4256} of the priests{H3548} to their service,{H5656} and the Levites{H3881} to their offices,{H4931} to praise,{H1984} and to minister{H8334} before the priests,{H3548} as the duty{H1697} of every day{H3117} required;{H3117} the doorkeepers{H7778} also by their courses{H4256} at every gate:{H8179} for so had David{H1732} the man{H376} of God{H430} commanded.{H4687}

And they departed{H5493} not from the commandment{H4687} of the king{H4428} unto the priests{H3548} and Levites{H3881} concerning any matter,{H1697} or concerning the treasures.{H214}

Now all the work{H4399} of Solomon{H8010} was prepared{H3559} unto the day{H3117} of the foundation{H4143} of the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068} and until it was finished.{H3615} [So] the house{H1004} of Jehovah{H3068} was completed.{H8003}

Then went{H1980} Solomon{H8010} to Ezion-geber,{H6100} and to Eloth,{H359} on the {H3220} seashore{H8193} in the land{H776} of Edom.{H123}

And Huram{H2361} sent{H7971} him by the hands{H3027} of his servants{H5650} ships,{H591} and servants{H5650} that had knowledge{H3045} of the sea;{H3220} and they came{H935} with the servants{H5650} of Solomon{H8010} to Ophir,{H211} and fetched{H3947} from thence four{H702} hundred{H3967} and fifty{H2572} talents{H3603} of gold,{H2091} and brought{H935} them to king{H4428} Solomon.{H8010}
