- Kapitel 8 -

(1 Kings 9:10–28)
1
Now at the end of the twenty years during which Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own palace,
2
Solomon rebuilt the cities Hiram (a) had given him and settled Israelites there.
3
Then Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and captured it.
4
He built Tadmor in the wilderness, in addition to all the store cities that he had built in Hamath.
5
He rebuilt Upper and Lower Beth-horon as fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars,
6
as well as Baalath, all the store cities that belonged to Solomon, and all the cities for his chariots and horses (b)—whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout the land of his dominion.
7
As for all the people who remained of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (the people who were not Israelites)—
8
their descendants who remained in the land, those whom the Israelites were unable to destroy—Solomon conscripted these people to be forced laborers, as they are to this day.
9
But Solomon did not consign any of the Israelites to slave labor, because they were his men of war, his officers and captains, and the commanders of his chariots and cavalry.
10
They were also the chief officers for King Solomon: 250 supervisors.
11
Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the palace he had built for her. For he said, “My wife must not live in the house of David king of Israel, because the places the ark of the LORD has entered are holy.”
12
At that time Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD he had built in front of the portico.
13
He observed the daily requirement for offerings according to the commandment of Moses for Sabbaths, New Moons, and the three annual appointed feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread,(c) the Feast of Weeks,(d) and the Feast of Tabernacles.(e)
14
In keeping with the ordinances of his father David, Solomon appointed the divisions of the priests over their service, and the Levites for their duties to offer praise and to minister before the priests according to the daily requirement. He also appointed gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate, for this had been the command of David, the man of God.
15
They did not turn aside from the king’s command regarding the priests or the Levites or any matter concerning the treasuries.
16
Thus all the work of Solomon was carried out, from the day the foundation was laid for the house of the LORD until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed.
17
Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth (f) on the coast of Edom.(g)
18
So Hiram sent him ships captained by his servants, along with crews of experienced sailors. They went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir and acquired from there 450 talents of gold,(h) which they delivered to King Solomon.

(1 Kings 9:10–28)
1
At the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the LORD’s house and his own house,
2
Solomon built the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
3
Solomon went to Hamath Zobah, and prevailed against it.
4
He built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the storage cities, which he built in Hamath.
5
Also he built Beth Horon the upper and Beth Horon the lower, fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars;
6
and Baalath, and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, the cities for his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
7
As for all the people who were left of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel—
8
of their children who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel didn’t consume—of them Solomon conscripted forced labor to this day.
9
But of the children of Israel, Solomon made no servants for his work, but they were men of war, chief of his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.
10
These were the chief officers of King Solomon, even two-hundred fifty, who ruled over the people.
11
Solomon brought up Pharaoh’s daughter out of David’s city to 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 where the LORD’s ark has come are holy.”
12
Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the LORD’s altar which he had built before the porch,
13
even as the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, three times per year, during the feast of unleavened bread, during the feast of weeks, and during the feast of booths.(a)
14
He appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the divisions of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their offices, to praise and to minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required, the doorkeepers also by their divisions at every gate, for David the man of God had so commanded.
15
They didn’t depart from the commandment of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter or concerning the treasures.
16
Now all the work of Solomon was accomplished from the day of the foundation of the LORD’s house until it was finished. So the LORD’s house was completed.
17
Then Solomon went to Ezion Geber and to Eloth, on the seashore in the land of Edom.
18
Huram sent him ships and servants who had knowledge of the sea by the hands of his servants; and they came with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and brought from there four hundred fifty talents (b) of gold, and brought them to King Solomon.
