  • 2 Chr 8:4-9 : 4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness and all the storage cities that he had constructed in Hamath. 5 He rebuilt Upper Beth-horon and Lower Beth-horon, which were fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars. 6 Additionally, he built Baalath and all the storage cities Solomon owned, as well as all the cities for his chariots and horses, and everything Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and throughout his dominion. 7 All the people who were left of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, who were not Israelites, 8 their descendants who remained in the land because the Israelites had not completely destroyed them—Solomon conscripted these people for forced labor, as they remain to this day. 9 But Solomon did not make any of the Israelites slaves for his work; instead, they served as soldiers, commanders of his officers, commanders of his chariots, and his cavalry. 10 These were the chief officers over King Solomon’s projects: 250 officials who supervised the people. 11 Solomon brought Pharaoh’s daughter up from the City of David to the house he had built for her, for he said, 'My wife must not live in the palace of King David of Israel, because the places have become holy where the ark of the Lord has entered.' 12 At that time Solomon offered burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of the Lord that he had constructed in front of the portico. 13 He offered the daily required sacrifices according to the command of Moses for the Sabbaths, the New Moons, and the three annual festivals—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles. 14 Solomon followed the ordinance of his father David by appointing the divisions of the priests for their duties and the Levites for their responsibilities, to praise and minister before the priests according to the daily schedule. 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. They went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir, where they brought back 450 talents of gold and delivered it to King Solomon.
