American Standard Version (ASV) With Strong Codes

1. And it came to pass at the end[H7093] of twenty[H6242] years[H8141], wherein Solomon[H8010] had built[H1129] the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068], and his own house[H1004],

2. that the cities[H5892] which Huram[H2361] had given[H5414] to Solomon[H8010], Solomon[H8010] built[H1129] them[H1121], and caused the children of Israel[H3478] to dwell there[H3427].

3. And Solomon[H8010] went[H3212] to Hamath-zobah[H2578], and prevailed against it[H2388].

4. And he built[H1129] Tadmor[H8412] in the wilderness[H4057], and all the store[H4543] - cities[H5892], which he built[H1129] in Hamath[H2574].

5. Also he built[H1129] Beth-horon[H1032] the upper[H5945], and Beth-horon[H1032] the nether[H8481], fortified[H4692] cities[H5892], with walls[H2346], gates[H1817], and bars[H1280];

6. and Baalath[H1191], and all the store[H4543] - cities[H5892] that Solomon[H8010] had[H5892], and all the cities for his chariots[H7393], and the cities[H5892] for his horsemen[H6571], and all that 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].

7. As for all the people[H5971] that were left[H3498] of the Hittites[H2850], and the Amorites[H567], and the Perizzites[H6522], and the Hivites[H2340], and the Jebusites[H2983], that were not of Israel[H3478];

8. of their children[H1121] that were left[H3498] after[H310] them in the land[H776], whom the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] consumed[H3615] not[H8010], of them did Solomon raise[H5927] a levy[H4522] of bondservants unto this day[H3117].

9. But of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] did Solomon[H8010] make[H5414] no servants[H5650] for his work[H4399]; but they were men[H582] of war[H4421], and chief[H8269] of his captains[H7991], and rulers[H8269] of his chariots[H7393] and of his horsemen[H6571].

10. And these were the chief[H8269] officers[H5324] of king[H4428] Solomon[H8010], even two hundred[H3967] and fifty[H2572], that bare rule[H7287] over the people[H5971].

11. And Solomon[H8010] brought up[H5927] the daughter[H1323] of Pharaoh[H6547] out of the city[H5892] of David[H1732] unto the house[H1004] that he had built[H1129] for her[H559]; for he said, My wife[H802] shall not dwell[H3427] in the house[H1004] of David[H1732] king[H4428] of Israel[H3478], because the places are holy[H6944], whereunto the ark[H727] of Jehovah[H3068] hath come[H935].

12. Then Solomon[H8010] offered[H5927] burnt-offerings[H5930] unto Jehovah[H3068] on the altar[H4196] of Jehovah[H3068], which he had built[H1129] before[H6440] the porch[H197],

13. even as the duty[H1697] of every day[H3117] required[H5927], offering according to the commandment[H4687] of Moses[H4872], on the sabbaths[H7676], and on the new moons[H2320], and on the set feasts[H4150], three[H7969] times[H6471] in the year[H8141], even in the feast[H2282] of unleavened bread[H4682], and in the feast[H2282] of weeks[H7620], and in the feast[H2282] of tabernacles[H5521].

14. And he appointed[H5975], according to the ordinance[H4941] of David[H1732] his father[H1], the courses[H4256] of the priests[H3548] to their service[H5656], and the Levites[H3881] to their offices[H4931], to praise[H1984], and to minister[H8334] before the priests[H3548], as the duty[H1697] of every day[H3117] required[H3117]; the doorkeepers[H7778] also by their courses[H4256] at every gate[H8179]: for so had David[H1732] the man[H376] of God[H430] commanded[H4687].

15. And they departed[H5493] not from the commandment[H4687] of the king[H4428] unto the priests[H3548] and Levites[H3881] concerning any matter[H1697], or concerning the treasures[H214].

16. Now all the work[H4399] of Solomon[H8010] was prepared[H3559] unto the day[H3117] of the foundation[H4143] of the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068], and until it was finished[H3615]. So the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068] was completed[H8003].

17. Then went[H1980] Solomon[H8010] to Ezion-geber[H6100], and to Eloth[H359], on the[H3220] seashore[H8193] in the land[H776] of Edom[H123].

18. And Huram[H2361] sent[H7971] him by the hands[H3027] of his servants[H5650] ships[H591], and servants[H5650] that had knowledge[H3045] of the sea[H3220]; and they came[H935] with the servants[H5650] of Solomon[H8010] to Ophir[H211], and fetched[H3947] from thence four[H702] hundred[H3967] and fifty[H2572] talents[H3603] of gold[H2091], and brought[H935] them to king[H4428] Solomon[H8010].
