2Chronicles:8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it came to pass at the end of twenty years ,
wherein Solomon had built the house of the LORD ,
and his own house ,
*
That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon ,
Solomon built them ,
and caused the children of Israel to dwell there .
*
And Solomon went to Hamathzobah ,
and prevailed against it .
*
And he built Tadmor in the wilderness ,
and all the store cities ,
which he built in Hamath .
*
Also he built Bethhoron the upper ,
and Bethhoron the nether ,
fenced cities ,
with walls ,
gates ,
and bars ;
*
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 .
*
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 ,
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And these were the chief of king Solomon '
s officers ,
even two hundred and fifty ,
that bare rule over the people .
*
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 .
*
Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD ,
which he had built before the porch ,
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter ,
or concerning the treasures .
*
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 .
*
Then went Solomon to Eziongeber ,
and to Eloth ,
at the sea side in the land of Edom .
*
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 .
