1Kings:9:10-28
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 ,
* (
Now Hiram the king of Tyre had supplied Solomon with cedar
trees and fir
trees ,
and with gold ,
according to all his desire ,)
that king Solomon then gave to Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee .
*
And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him ;
but they were not right in his eyes .
*
And he said ,
What kind of cities are these which thou hast given me ,
my brother ?
And he called them ,
The land of Cabul ,
until this day .
*
And Hiram sent to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold .
*
And this is the manner of the levy which king Solomon raised ,
to build the house of the Lord ,
and his own house ,
and the Millo ,
and the wall of Jerusalem ,
and Chazor ,
and Megiddo ,
and Gezer .
* (
Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up ,
and captured Gezer ,
and burnt it with fire ,
and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city ,
and given it as a marriage
present unto his daughter ,
Solomon
s wife .
*
And Solomon built Gezer ,
and lower Beth
choron ,
*
And Ba
alath ,
and Thadmor in the wilderness ,
in the land ,
*
And all the treasure
cities that Solomon had ,
and the cities for the chariots ,
and the cities for the horsemen ,
and the desire of Solomon which he desired to build in Jerusalem ,
and in Lebanon ,
and in all the land of his dominion .)
*
All the people that were left of the Emorites ,
the Hittites ,
the Perizzites ,
the Hivites ,
and the Jebusites ,
who were not of the children of Israel ,
*
Their children that were left after them in the land ,
whom the children of Israel had not been able utterly to destroy ,
these did Solomon levy as tributary laborers until this day .
*
Yet of the children of Israel did Solomon make no one a bond
man ;
but they were the men of war ,
and his servants ,
and his princes ,
and his captains ,
and the officers of his chariots ,
and of his horsemen .
*
These were the chiefs of the superintendents that were over Solomon
s work ,
five hundred and fifty ,
who ruled over the people that wrought on the work .
*
But Pharaoh
s daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house which he had built for her :
then did he build the Millo .
*
And Solomon did offer three times in every year burnt
offerings and peace
offerings upon the altar which he had built unto the Lord ,
and he burnt incense upon the one that was before the Lord .
So he finished the house .
*
And king Solomon made a ship in
Ezyon
geber ,
which is near Eloth ,
on the shore of the Red Sea ,
in the land of Edom .
*
And Hiram sent in the ship his servants ,
seamen ,
that had knowledge of the sea ,
with the servants of Solomon .
*
And they came to Ophir ,
and fetched from there gold ,
four hundred and twenty talents ,
and brought it to king Solomon .
