And it came to pass, when Solomon{H8010} had finished{H3615}{(H8763)} the building{H1129}{(H8800)} of the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}, and the king's{H4428} house{H1004}, and all Solomon's{H8010} desire{H2837} which he was pleased{H2654}{(H8804)} to do{H6213}{(H8800)},

That the LORD{H3068} appeared{H7200}{(H8735)} to Solomon{H8010} the second time{H8145}, as he had appeared{H7200}{(H8738)} unto him at Gibeon{H1391}.

And the LORD{H3068} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, I have heard{H8085}{(H8804)} thy prayer{H8605} and thy supplication{H8467}, that thou hast made{H2603}{(H8694)} before{H6440} me: I have hallowed{H6942}{(H8689)} this house{H1004}, which thou hast built{H1129}{(H8804)}, to put{H7760}{(H8800)} my name{H8034} there for{H5704} ever{H5769}; and mine eyes{H5869} and mine heart{H3820} shall be there perpetually{H3117}.

And if thou wilt walk{H3212}{(H8799)} before{H6440} me, as David{H1732} thy father{H1} walked{H1980}{(H8804)}, in integrity{H8537} of heart{H3824}, and in uprightness{H3476}, to do{H6213}{(H8800)} according to all that I have commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} thee, and wilt keep{H8104}{(H8799)} my statutes{H2706} and my judgments{H4941}:

Then I will establish{H6965}{(H8689)} the throne{H3678} of thy kingdom{H4467} upon Israel{H3478} for ever{H5769}, as I promised{H1696}{(H8765)} to David{H1732} thy father{H1}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, There shall not fail{H3772}{(H8735)} thee a man{H376} upon the throne{H3678} of Israel{H3478}.

But if ye shall at all{H7725}{(H8800)} turn{H7725}{(H8799)} from following{H310} me, ye or your children{H1121}, and will not keep{H8104}{(H8799)} my commandments{H4687} and my statutes{H2708} which I have set{H5414}{(H8804)} before{H6440} you, but go{H1980}{(H8804)} and serve{H5647}{(H8804)} other{H312} gods{H430}, and worship{H7812}{(H8694)} them:

Then will I cut off{H3772}{(H8689)} Israel{H3478} out{H6440} of the land{H127} which I have given{H5414}{(H8804)} them; and this house{H1004}, which I have hallowed{H6942}{(H8689)} for my name{H8034}, will I cast out{H7971}{(H8762)} of my sight{H6440}; and Israel{H3478} shall be a proverb{H4912} and a byword{H8148} among all people{H5971}:

And at this house{H1004}, which is high{H5945}, every one that passeth{H5674}{(H8802)} by it shall be astonished{H8074}{(H8799)}, and shall hiss{H8319}{(H8804)}; and they shall say{H559}{(H8804)}, Why hath the LORD{H3068} done{H6213}{(H8804)} thus unto this land{H776}, and to this house{H1004}?

And they shall answer{H559}{(H8804)}, Because they forsook{H5800}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} their God{H430}, who brought forth{H3318}{(H8689)} their fathers{H1} out of the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714}, and have taken hold{H2388}{(H8686)} upon other{H312} gods{H430}, and have worshipped{H7812}{(H8691)} them, and served{H5647}{(H8799)} them: therefore hath the LORD{H3068} brought{H935}{(H8689)} upon them all this evil{H7451}.

And it came to pass at the end{H7097} of twenty{H6242} years{H8141}, when Solomon{H8010} had built{H1129}{(H8804)} the two{H8147} houses{H1004}, the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}, and the king's{H4428} house{H1004},

( Now Hiram{H2438} the king{H4428} of Tyre{H6865} had furnished{H5375}{(H8765)} 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}{(H8799)} Hiram{H2438} twenty{H6242} cities{H5892} in the land{H776} of Galilee{H1551}.

And Hiram{H2438} came out{H3318}{(H8799)} from Tyre{H6865} to see{H7200}{(H8800)} the cities{H5892} which Solomon{H8010} had given{H5414}{(H8804)} him; and they pleased{H3474}{(H8804)}{H5869} him not.

And he said{H559}{(H8799)}, What cities{H5892} are these which thou hast given{H5414}{(H8804)} me, my brother{H251}? And he called{H7121}{(H8799)} them the land{H776} of Cabul{H3521} unto this day{H3117}.

And Hiram{H2438} sent{H7971}{(H8799)} to the king{H4428} sixscore{H3967}{H6242} talents{H3603} of gold{H2091}.

And this is the reason{H1697} of the levy{H4522} which king{H4428} Solomon{H8010} raised{H5927}{(H8689)}; for to build{H1129}{(H8800)} the house{H1004} of the LORD{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}.

For Pharaoh{H6547} king{H4428} of Egypt{H4714} had gone up{H5927}{(H8804)}, and taken{H3920}{(H8799)} Gezer{H1507}, and burnt{H8313}{(H8799)} it with fire{H784}, and slain{H2026}{(H8804)} the Canaanites{H3669} that dwelt{H3427}{(H8802)} in the city{H5892}, and given{H5414}{(H8799)} it for a present{H7964} unto his daughter{H1323}, Solomon's{H8010} wife{H802}.

And Solomon{H8010} built{H1129}{(H8799)} Gezer{H1507}, and Bethhoron{H1032} the nether{H8481},

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

And all the cities{H5892} of store{H4543} that Solomon{H8010} had, and cities{H5892} for his chariots{H7393}, and cities{H5892} for his horsemen{H6571}, and that{H2837} which Solomon{H8010} desired{H2836}{(H8804)} to build{H1129}{(H8800)} in Jerusalem{H3389}, and in Lebanon{H3844}, and in all the land{H776} of his dominion{H4475}.

And all the people{H5971} that were left{H3498}{(H8737)} of the Amorites{H567}, Hittites{H2850}, Perizzites{H6522}, Hivites{H2340}, and Jebusites{H2983}, which were not of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478},

Their children{H1121} that were left{H3498}{(H8738)} after{H310} them in the land{H776}, whom the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} also were not able{H3201}{(H8804)} utterly to destroy{H2763}{(H8687)}, upon those did Solomon{H8010} levy{H5927}{(H8686)} a tribute{H4522} of bondservice{H5647}{(H8802)} unto this day{H3117}.

But of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} did Solomon{H8010} make{H5414}{(H8804)} no bondmen{H5650}: but they were 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 his horsemen{H6571}.

These were the chief{H8269} of the officers{H5324}{(H8737)} that were over Solomon's{H8010} work{H4399}, five{H2568} hundred{H3967} and fifty{H2572}, which bare rule{H7287}{(H8802)} over the people{H5971} that wrought{H6213}{(H8804)} in the work{H4399}.

But Pharaoh's{H6547} daughter{H1323} came up{H5927}{(H8804)} out of the city{H5892} of David{H1732} unto her house{H1004} which Solomon had built{H1129}{(H8804)} for her: then did he build{H1129}{(H8804)} Millo{H4407}.

And three{H7969} times{H6471} in a year{H8141} did Solomon{H8010} offer{H5927}{(H8689)} burnt offerings{H5930} and peace offerings{H8002} upon the altar{H4196} which he built{H1129}{(H8804)} unto the LORD{H3068}, and he burnt incense{H6999}{(H8687)} upon the altar{H4196} that was before{H6440} the LORD{H3068}. So he finished{H7999}{(H8765)} the house{H1004}.

And king{H4428} Solomon{H8010} made{H6213}{(H8804)} a navy of ships{H590} in Eziongeber{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}{(H8799)} in the navy{H590} his servants{H5650}, shipmen{H582}{H591} that had knowledge{H3045}{(H8802)} of the sea{H3220}, with the servants{H5650} of Solomon{H8010}.

And they came{H935}{(H8799)} to Ophir{H211}, and fetched{H3947}{(H8799)} from thence gold{H2091}, four{H702} hundred{H3967} and twenty{H6242} talents{H3603}, and brought{H935}{(H8686)} it to king{H4428} Solomon{H8010}.
