ASV_Strong : 1 Kings 9
1. And it came to pass[H8010], when Solomon had finished[H3615] the building[H1129] of the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068], and the king[H4428]'s house[H1004], and all Solomon[H8010]'s desire[H2837] which he was pleased[H2654] to do[H6213],
2. that Jehovah[H3068] appeared[H7200] to Solomon[H8010] the second time[H8145], as he had appeared[H7200] unto him at Gibeon[H1391].
3. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto him[H8085], I have heard thy prayer[H8605] and thy supplication[H8467], that thou hast made[H2603] before[H6440] me[H6942]: I have hallowed this house[H1004], which thou hast built[H1129], to put[H7760] my name[H8034] there for[H5704] ever[H5769]; and mine eyes[H5869] and my heart[H3820] shall be there perpetually[H3117].
4. And as for thee[H3212], if thou wilt walk before[H6440] me[H1732], as David thy father[H1] walked[H1980], in integrity[H8537] of heart[H3824], and in uprightness[H3476], to do[H6213] according to all that I have commanded[H6680] thee[H8104], and wilt keep my statutes[H2706] and mine ordinances[H4941];
5. then I will establish[H6965] the throne[H3678] of thy kingdom[H4467] over Israel[H3478] for ever[H5769], according as I promised[H1696] to David[H1732] thy father[H1], saying[H559], There shall not fail[H3772] thee a man[H376] upon the throne[H3678] of Israel[H3478].
6. But if ye shall[H7725] turn[H7725] away from following[H310] me[H1121], ye or your children, and not keep[H8104] my commandments[H4687] and my statutes[H2708] which I have set[H5414] before[H6440] you[H1980], but shall go and serve[H5647] other[H312] gods[H430], and worship them[H7812];
7. then will I cut off[H3772] Israel[H3478] out[H6440] of the land[H127] which I have given[H5414] them[H1004]; and this house, which I have hallowed[H6942] for my name[H8034], will I cast out[H7971] of my sight[H6440]; and Israel[H3478] shall be a proverb[H4912] and a byword[H8148] among all peoples[H5971].
8. And though this house[H1004] is so high[H5945], yet shall every one that passeth[H5674] by it be astonished[H8074], and shall hiss[H8319]; and they shall say[H559], Why hath Jehovah[H3068] done[H6213] thus unto this land[H776], and to this house[H1004]?
9. and they shall answer[H559], Because they forsook[H5800] Jehovah[H3068] their God[H430], who brought forth[H3318] their fathers[H1] out of the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], and laid hold[H2388] on other[H312] gods[H430], and worshipped[H7812] them[H5647], and served them[H3068]: therefore hath Jehovah brought[H935] all this evil upon them[H7451].
10. And it came to pass at the end[H7097] of twenty[H6242] years[H8141], wherein Solomon[H8010] had built[H1129] the two[H8147] houses[H1004], the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068] and the king[H4428]'s house[H1004]
11. (now Hiram[H2438] the king[H4428] of Tyre[H6865] had furnished[H5375] Solomon[H8010] with cedar[H730] - trees[H6086] and fir[H1265] - trees[H6086], and with gold[H2091], according to all his desire[H2656]), that then[H227] king[H4428] Solomon[H8010] gave[H5414] Hiram[H2438] twenty[H6242] cities[H5892] in the land[H776] of Galilee[H1551].
12. And Hiram[H2438] came out[H3318] from Tyre[H6865] to see[H7200] the cities[H5892] which Solomon[H8010] had given[H5414] him[H3474]; and they pleased him not.
13. And he said[H559], What cities[H5892] are these which thou hast given[H5414] me[H251], my brother? And he called[H7121] them the land[H776] of Cabul[H3521] unto this day[H3117].
14. And Hiram[H2438] sent[H7971] to the king[H4428] sixscore[H3967] talents[H3603] of gold[H2091].
15. And this is the reason[H1697] of the levy[H4522] which king[H4428] Solomon[H8010] raised[H5927], to build[H1129] the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068], and his own house[H1004], and Millo[H4407], and the wall[H2346] of Jerusalem[H3389], and Hazor[H2674], and Megiddo[H4023], and Gezer[H1507].
16. Pharaoh[H6547] king[H4428] of Egypt[H4714] had gone up[H5927], and taken[H3920] Gezer[H1507], and burnt[H8313] it with fire[H784], and slain[H2026] the Canaanites[H3669] that dwelt[H3427] in the city[H5892], and given[H5414] it for a portion[H7964] unto his daughter[H1323], Solomon[H8010]'s wife[H802].
17. And Solomon[H8010] built[H1129] Gezer[H1507], and Beth-horon[H1032] the nether[H8481],
18. and Baalath[H1191], and Tamar[H8412] in the wilderness[H4057], in the land[H776],
19. and all the store[H4543] - cities[H5892] that Solomon[H8010] had[H5892], and the cities for his chariots[H7393], and the cities[H5892] for his horsemen[H6571], and that[H2837] which Solomon[H8010] desired[H2836] to build[H1129] for his pleasure in Jerusalem[H3389], and in Lebanon[H3844], and in all the land[H776] of his dominion[H4475].
20. As for all the people[H5971] that were left[H3498] of the Amorites[H567], the Hittites[H2850], the Perizzites[H6522], the Hivites[H2340], and the Jebusites[H2983], who were not of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478];
21. their children[H1121] that were left[H3498] after[H310] them in the land[H776], whom the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] were not able[H3201] utterly to destroy[H2763], of them did Solomon[H8010] raise[H5927] a levy[H4522] of bondservants[H5647] unto this day[H3117].
22. But of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] did Solomon[H8010] make[H5414] no bondservants[H5650]; but they were the men[H582] of war[H4421], and his servants[H5650], and his princes[H8269], and his captains[H7991], and rulers[H8269] of his chariots[H7393] and of his horsemen[H6571].
23. These were the chief[H8269] officers[H5324] that were over Solomon[H8010]'s work[H4399], five[H2568] hundred[H3967] and fifty[H2572], who bare rule[H7287] over the people[H5971] that wrought[H6213] in the work[H4399].
24. But Pharaoh[H6547]'s daughter[H1323] came up[H5927] out of the city[H5892] of David[H1732] unto her house[H1004] which Solomon had built[H1129] for her[H1129]: then did he build Millo[H4407].
25. And three[H7969] times[H6471] a year[H8141] did Solomon[H8010] offer[H5927] burnt-offerings[H5930] and peace-offerings[H8002] upon the altar[H4196] which he built[H1129] unto Jehovah[H3068], burning incense[H6999] therewith[H4196], upon the altar that was before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068]. So he finished[H7999] the house[H1004].
26. And king[H4428] Solomon[H8010] made[H6213] a navy of ships[H590] in Ezion-geber[H6100], which is beside Eloth[H359], on the shore[H8193] of the Red[H5488] Sea[H3220], in the land[H776] of Edom[H123].
27. And Hiram[H2438] sent[H7971] in the navy[H590] his servants[H5650], shipmen[H582] that had knowledge[H3045] of the sea[H3220], with the servants[H5650] of Solomon[H8010].
28. And they came[H935] to Ophir[H211], and fetched[H3947] from thence gold[H2091], four[H702] hundred[H3967] and twenty[H6242] talents[H3603], and brought[H935] it to king[H4428] Solomon[H8010].
