II Chronicles
Chapter 8
1
And it came to pass
at
the end of twenty years,
wherein
Solomon had built the house of Jehovah/God,
and
his own house, 2
that
the cities which Huram/Hiram had restored to Solomon,
Solomon
built them,
and
caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
3
And Solomon went to Hamathzobah,
and
prevailed against it.
4
And he built Tadmor in the wilderness,
and
all the store cities,
which
he built in Hamath.
5
Also he built Bethhoron the upper,
and
Bethhoron the nether,
fenced
cities, with walls, gates, and bars; 6
and
Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had,
and
all the chariot cities,
and
the cities of the horsemen,
and
all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem,
and
in Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion.
7
As for all the people who were left of the Hittites,
and
the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites,
and
the Jebusites, which were not of Israel, 8
but
of their children,
who
were left after them in the land,
whom
the children of Israel consumed not,
them
did Solomon make to pay tribute until this day.
9
But of the children of Israel
did
Solomon make no servants for his work;
but
they were men of war,
and
chief of his captains,
and
captains of his chariots and horsemen.
10
And these were the chief of king Solomon's officers,
even
two hundred and fifty,
who
bare rule over the people.
11
And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh
out
of the city of David unto the house
that
he had built for her . . .
for
he said, My wife shall not dwell
in
the house of David king of Israel,
because
the places are holy,
whereunto
the ark of Jehovah/God has come.
12
Then Solomon offered burnt offerings
unto
Jehovah/God
on
the altar of Jehovah/God,
which
he had built before the porch, 13
even
after a certain rate every day,
offering
according to the commandment of Moses,
on
the Sabbaths, and on the new moons,
and
on the solemn feasts, three times in the year,
even
in the feast of unleavened bread,
and
in the feast of weeks,
and
in the feast of tabernacles.
14
And he appointed,
according
to the order of David his father,
the
courses of the priests to their service,
and
the Levites to their charges,
to
praise and minister before the priests,
as
the duty of every day required . . .
the
porters also by their courses at every gate . . .
for
so had David the man of 'Elohiym/Godhead commanded.
15
And they departed not from the commandment of the king
unto
the priests and Levites concerning any matter,
or
concerning the treasures.
16
Now all the work of Solomon was prepared
unto
the day of the foundation of the house of Jehovah/God,
and
until it was finished.
So
the house of Jehovah/God was perfected.
17
Then went Solomon to Eziongeber, and to Eloth,
at
the sea side in the land of Edom.
18
And Huram/Hiram sent him
by
the hands of his servants ships,
and
servants who had knowledge of the sea;
and
they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir,
and
took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold,
and
brought them to king Solomon.
