1 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house, 2 That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there. 3 And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, 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 Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon 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 that 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, that 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 the LORD hath come.
12 ¶ Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, 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 God 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 the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected.
17 ¶ Then went Solomon to Ezion-geber, and to Eloth, at the sea side in the land of Edom. 18 And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that 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.
1 expletis autem viginti annis
postquam aedificavit Salomon domum Domini et domum suam
2 civitates quas dederat Hiram Salomoni aedificavit
et habitare ibi fecit filios Israhel
3 abiit quoque in Emath Suba et obtinuit eam
4 et aedificavit Palmyram in deserto
et alias civitates munitissimas aedificavit in Emath
5 extruxitque Bethoron superiorem et Bethoron inferiorem
civitates muratas habentes portas et vectes et seras
6 Baalath etiam et omnes urbes firmissimas quae fuerunt Salomonis
cunctasque urbes quadrigarum et urbes equitum
omnia quae voluit Salomon atque disposuit aedificavit
in Hierusalem et in Libano et in universa terra
potestatis suae
7 omnem populum qui derelictus fuerat
de Hettheis et Amorreis et Ferezeis et Eveis et Iebuseis
qui non erant de stirpe Israhel
8 de filiis eorum et de posteris
quos non interfecerant filii Israhel
subiugavit Salomon in tributarios usque in diem hanc
9 porro de filiis Israhel non posuit ut servirent operibus regis
ipsi enim erant viri bellatores et duces primi
et principes quadrigarum et equitum eius
10 omnes autem principes exercitus regis Salomonis
fuerunt ducenti quinquaginta qui erudiebant populum
11 filiam vero Pharaonis transtulit de civitate David
in domum quam aedificaverat ei
dixit enim non habitabit uxor mea in domo David regis
Israhel
eo quod sanctificata sit quia ingressa est eam
arca Domini
12 tunc obtulit Salomon holocausta Domino super altare Domini
quod extruxerat ante porticum
13 ut per singulos dies offerretur in eo iuxta
praeceptum Mosi
in sabbatis et in kalendis et in festis diebus
ter per annum id est in sollemnitate azymorum
et in sollemnitate ebdomadarum
et in sollemnitate tabernaculorum
14 et constituit iuxta dispositionem David patris sui officia sacerdotum
in ministeriis suis
et Levitas in ordine suo
ut laudarent et ministrarent coram sacerdotibus
iuxta ritum uniuscuiusque diei
et ianitores in divisionibus suis
per portam et portam
sic enim praeceperat David homo Dei
15 nec praetergressi sunt de mandatis regis
tam sacerdotes quam Levitae
ex omnibus quae praeceperat
et in custodiis thesaurorum
16 omnes inpensas praeparatas habuit Salomon
ex eo die quo fundavit domum Domini
usque in diem quo perfecit eam
17 tunc abiit Salomon in Hesiongaber et in Ahilath
ad oram maris Rubri quae est in
terra Edom
18 misit autem ei Hiram per manum servorum suorum
naves et nautas gnaros maris
et abierunt cum servis Salomonis in Ophir
tuleruntque inde quadringenta quinquaginta talenta auri
et adtulerunt ad regem Salomonem
