1 factum est autem cum perfecisset Salomon
aedificium domus Domini et aedificium regis
et omne quod optaverat et voluerat facere
2 apparuit Dominus ei secundo sicut apparuerat ei in
Gabaon
3 dixitque Dominus ad eum
exaudivi orationem tuam et deprecationem tuam
qua deprecatus es coram me
sanctificavi domum hanc quam aedificasti
ut ponerem nomen meum ibi in sempiternum
et erunt oculi mei et cor meum ibi cunctis diebus
4 tu quoque si ambulaveris coram me sicut ambulavit pater tuus
in simplicitate cordis et in aequitate
et feceris omnia quae praecepi tibi
et legitima mea et iudicia mea servaveris
5 ponam thronum regni tui super Israhel in sempiternum
sicut locutus sum David patri tuo dicens
non auferetur de genere tuo vir de
solio Israhel
6 si autem aversione aversi fueritis vos et filii vestri non sequentes me
nec custodientes mandata mea et caerimonias
quas proposui vobis
sed abieritis et colueritis deos alienos et adoraveritis eos
7 auferam Israhel de superficie terrae quam dedi eis
et templum quod sanctificavi nomini meo proiciam a conspectu meo
eritque Israhel in proverbium et in fabulam cunctis populis
8 et domus haec erit in exemplum
omnis qui transierit per eam stupebit et sibilabit et dicet
quare fecit Dominus sic terrae huic et domui huic
9 et respondebunt quia dereliquerunt Dominum Deum suum
qui eduxit patres eorum de terra Aegypti
et secuti sunt deos alienos et adoraverunt eos et coluerunt
idcirco induxit Dominus super eos omne malum hoc
10 expletis autem annis viginti
postquam aedificaverat Salomon duas domos
id est domum Domini et domum regis
11 Hiram rege Tyri praebente Salomoni ligna cedrina et abiegna
et aurum
iuxta omne quod opus habuerat
tunc dedit Salomon Hiram viginti oppida in terra Galileae
12 egressusque est Hiram de Tyro
ut videret oppida quae dederat ei Salomon
et non placuerunt ei
13 et ait haecine sunt civitates quas dedisti mihi frater
et appellavit eas terram Chabul usque in diem hanc
14 misit quoque Hiram ad regem centum viginti talenta auri
15 haec est summa expensarum quam obtulit rex Salomon
ad aedificandam domum Domini et domum suam
et Mello et murum Hierusalem et Eser et Mageddo et Gazer
16 Pharao rex Aegypti ascendit et cepit Gazer succenditque eam igni
et Chananeum qui habitabat in civitate interfecit
et dedit eam in dote filiae suae uxori Salomonis
17 aedificavit ergo Salomon Gazer et Bethoron inferiorem
18 et Baalath et Palmyram in terra solitudinis
19 et omnes vicos qui ad se pertinebant et erant absque muro munivit
et civitates curruum et civitates equitum
et quodcumque ei placuit ut aedificaret in Hierusalem et in Libano
et in omni terra potestatis suae
20 universum populum qui remanserat de Amorreis et Hettheis et Ferezeis et
Eveis et Iebuseis
qui non sunt de filiis Israhel
21 horum filios qui remanserant in terra
quos scilicet non potuerant filii Israhel exterminare
fecit Salomon tributarios usque ad diem hanc
22 de filiis autem Israhel non constituit Salomon servire quemquam
sed erant viri bellatores et ministri eius et principes et duces
et praefecti curruum et equorum
23 erant autem principes super omnia opera Salomonis praepositi quingenti
quinquaginta
qui habebant subiectum populum et statutis operibus imperabant
24 filia autem Pharaonis ascendit de civitate David in domum suam
quam aedificaverat ei
tunc aedificavit Mello
25 offerebat quoque Salomon tribus vicibus per annos singulos
holocausta et pacificas victimas
super altare quod aedificaverat Domino
et adolebat thymiama coram Domino
perfectumque est templum
26 classem quoque fecit rex Salomon in Asiongaber
quae est iuxta Ahilam in litore maris Rubri in terra
Idumea
27 misitque Hiram in classe illa servos suos viros nauticos et gnaros
maris cum servis Salomonis
28 qui cum venissent in Ophir
sumptum inde aurum quadringentorum viginti talentorum
detulerunt ad regem Salomonem
1 And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the LORD, and the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he was pleased to do, 2 That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon. 3 And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually. 4 And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments: 5 Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel. 6 But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them: 7 Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people: 8 And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and to this house? 9 And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the LORD brought upon them all this evil.
10 ¶ And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD, and the king’s house, 11 (Now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire,) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee. 12 And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not. 13 And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul unto this day. 14 And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.
15 ¶ And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised; for to build the house of the LORD, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer. 16 For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for a present unto his daughter, Solomon’s wife. 17 And Solomon built Gezer, and Beth-horon the nether, 18 And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land, 19 And all the cities of store that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion. 20 And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel, 21 Their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did Solomon levy a tribute of bondservice unto this day. 22 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen: but they were men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots, and his horsemen. 23 These were the chief of the officers that were over Solomon’s work, five hundred and fifty, which bare rule over the people that wrought in the work.
24 ¶ But Pharaoh’s daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Millo.
25 ¶ And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he built unto the LORD, and he burnt incense upon the altar that was before the LORD. So he finished the house.
26 ¶ And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezion-geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom. 27 And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon. 28 And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
