And it came to pass, when SolomonH8010 had finishedH3615 the buildingH1129 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and all Solomon'sH8010 desireH2837 which he was pleasedH2654 to doH6213,2That the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to SolomonH8010 the second timeH8145, as he had appearedH7200 unto him at GibeonH1391.3And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, I have heardH8085 thy prayerH8605 and thy supplicationH8467, that thou hast madeH2603 beforeH6440 me: I have hallowedH6942 this houseH1004, which thou hast builtH1129, to putH7760 my nameH8034 there forH5704 everH5769; and mine eyesH5869 and mine heartH3820 shall be there perpetuallyH3117.4And if thou wilt walkH3212 beforeH6440 me, as DavidH1732 thy fatherH1 walkedH1980, in integrityH8537 of heartH3824, and in uprightnessH3476, to doH6213 according to all that I have commandedH6680 thee, and wilt keepH8104 my statutesH2706 and my judgmentsH4941:5Then I will establishH6965 the throneH3678 of thy kingdomH4467 upon IsraelH3478 for everH5769, as I promisedH1696 to DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, sayingH559, There shall not failH3772 thee a manH376 upon the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478.6But if ye shall at allH7725 turnH7725 from followingH310 me, ye or your childrenH1121, and will not keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708 which I have setH5414 beforeH6440 you, but goH1980 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshipH7812 them:7Then will I cut offH3772 IsraelH3478 outH6440 of the landH127 which I have givenH5414 them; and this houseH1004, which I have hallowedH6942 for my nameH8034, will I cast outH7971 of my sightH6440; and IsraelH3478 shall be a proverbH4912 and a bywordH8148 among all peopleH5971:8And at this houseH1004, which is highH5945, every one that passethH5674 by it shall be astonishedH8074, and shall hissH8319; and they shall sayH559, Why hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this landH776, and to this houseH1004?9And they shall answerH559, Because they forsookH5800 the LORDH3068 their GodH430, who brought forthH3318 their fathersH1 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and have taken holdH2388 upon otherH312 godsH430, and have worshippedH7812 them, and servedH5647 them: therefore hath the LORDH3068 broughtH935 upon them all this evilH7451.

10And it came to pass at the endH7097 of twentyH6242 yearsH8141, when SolomonH8010 had builtH1129 the twoH8147 housesH1004, the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the king'sH4428 houseH1004,11(Now HiramH2438 the kingH4428 of TyreH6865 had furnishedH5375 SolomonH8010 with cedarH730 treesH6086 and firH1265 treesH6086, and with goldH2091, according to all his desireH2656,) that thenH227 kingH4428 SolomonH8010 gaveH5414 HiramH2438 twentyH6242 citiesH5892 in the landH776 of GalileeH1551.12And HiramH2438 came outH3318 from TyreH6865 to seeH7200 the citiesH5892 which SolomonH8010 had givenH5414 him; and they pleasedH3474 H5869 him not.13And he saidH559, What citiesH5892 are these which thou hast givenH5414 me, my brotherH251? And he calledH7121 them the landH776 of CabulH3521 unto this dayH3117.14And HiramH2438 sentH7971 to the kingH4428 sixscoreH3967 H6242 talentsH3603 of goldH2091.

15And this is the reasonH1697 of the levyH4522 which kingH4428 SolomonH8010 raisedH5927; for to buildH1129 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and his own houseH1004, and MilloH4407, and the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389, and HazorH2674, and MegiddoH4023, and GezerH1507.16For PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 had gone upH5927, and takenH3920 GezerH1507, and burntH8313 it with fireH784, and slainH2026 the CanaanitesH3669 that dweltH3427 in the cityH5892, and givenH5414 it for a presentH7964 unto his daughterH1323, Solomon'sH8010 wifeH802.17And SolomonH8010 builtH1129 GezerH1507, and BethhoronH1032 the netherH8481,18And BaalathH1191, and TadmorH8412 in the wildernessH4057, in the landH776,19And all the citiesH5892 of storeH4543 that SolomonH8010 had, and citiesH5892 for his chariotsH7393, and citiesH5892 for his horsemenH6571, and thatH2837 which SolomonH8010 desiredH2836 to buildH1129 in JerusalemH3389, and in LebanonH3844, and in all the landH776 of his dominionH4475.20And all the peopleH5971 that were leftH3498 of the AmoritesH567, HittitesH2850, PerizzitesH6522, HivitesH2340, and JebusitesH2983, which were not of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478,21Their childrenH1121 that were leftH3498 afterH310 them in the landH776, whom the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 also were not ableH3201 utterly to destroyH2763, upon those did SolomonH8010 levyH5927 a tributeH4522 of bondserviceH5647 unto this dayH3117.22But of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did SolomonH8010 makeH5414 no bondmenH5650: but they were menH582 of warH4421, and his servantsH5650, and his princesH8269, and his captainsH7991, and rulersH8269 of his chariotsH7393, and his horsemenH6571.23These were the chiefH8269 of the officersH5324 that were over Solomon'sH8010 workH4399, fiveH2568 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572, which bare ruleH7287 over the peopleH5971 that wroughtH6213 in the workH4399.

24But Pharaoh'sH6547 daughterH1323 came upH5927 out of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 unto her houseH1004 which Solomon had builtH1129 for her: then did he buildH1129 MilloH4407.

25And threeH7969 timesH6471 in a yearH8141 did SolomonH8010 offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 and peace offeringsH8002 upon the altarH4196 which he builtH1129 unto the LORDH3068, and he burnt incenseH6999 upon the altarH4196 that was beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. So he finishedH7999 the houseH1004.

26And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 madeH6213 a navy of shipsH590 in EziongeberH6100, which is beside ElothH359, on the shoreH8193 of the RedH5488 seaH3220, in the landH776 of EdomH123.27And HiramH2438 sentH7971 in the navyH590 his servantsH5650, shipmenH582 H591 that had knowledgeH3045 of the seaH3220, with the servantsH5650 of SolomonH8010.28And they cameH935 to OphirH211, and fetchedH3947 from thence goldH2091, fourH702 hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 talentsH3603, and broughtH935 it to kingH4428 SolomonH8010.
