He also appointed the gatekeepers in their divisions by each gate, for this was the command of David, the man of God. 15 They did not deviate from the king’s command concerning the priests and the Levites or any matter or the treasuries. 16 So all of Solomon’s work was carried out until the day the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid and until it was completed. The house of the Lord was finished perfectly. 17 Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the shore of the sea in the land of Edom. 18 Hiram sent him ships and servants skilled in sailing by the hands of his own servants.
