1When Solomon had finished the building of Yahweh’s house, the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he was pleased to do,
KJVAnd it came to pass, when SolomonH8010 had finishedH3615(H8763) the buildingH1129(H8800) of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and all Solomon'sH8010 desireH2837 which he was pleasedH2654(H8804) to doH6213(H8800),
2 Yahweh appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
KJVThat the LORDH3068 appearedH7200(H8735) to SolomonH8010 the second timeH8145, as he had appearedH7200(H8738) unto him at GibeonH1391.
3 Yahweh said to him, “I have heard your prayer and your supplication that you have made before me. I have made this house holy, which you have built, to put my name there forever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.
KJVAnd the LORDH3068 saidH559(H8799) unto him, I have heardH8085(H8804) thy prayerH8605 and thy supplicationH8467, that thou hast madeH2603(H8694) beforeH6440 me: I have hallowedH6942(H8689) this houseH1004, which thou hast builtH1129(H8804), to putH7760(H8800) my nameH8034 there forH5704 everH5769; and mine eyesH5869 and mine heartH3820 shall be there perpetuallyH3117.
4 As for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked, in integrity of heart and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances,
KJVAnd if thou wilt walkH3212(H8799) beforeH6440 me, as DavidH1732 thy fatherH1 walkedH1980(H8804), in integrityH8537 of heartH3824, and in uprightnessH3476, to doH6213(H8800) according to all that I have commandedH6680(H8765) thee, and wilt keepH8104(H8799) my statutesH2706 and my judgmentsH4941:
5 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, as I promised to David your father, saying, ‘There shall not fail from you a man on the throne of Israel.’
KJVThen I will establishH6965(H8689) the throneH3678 of thy kingdomH4467 upon IsraelH3478 for everH5769, as I promisedH1696(H8765) to DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, sayingH559(H8800), There shall not failH3772(H8735) thee a manH376 upon the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478.
6 But if you turn away from following me, you or your children, and not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods and worship them,
KJVBut if ye shall at allH7725(H8800) turnH7725(H8799) from followingH310 me, ye or your childrenH1121, and will not keepH8104(H8799) my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708 which I have setH5414(H8804) beforeH6440 you, but goH1980(H8804) and serveH5647(H8804) otherH312 godsH430, and worshipH7812(H8694) them:
7 then I will cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and I will cast this house, which I have made holy for my name, out of my sight; and Israel will be a proverb and a byword among all peoples.
KJVThen will I cut offH3772(H8689) IsraelH3478 outH6440 of the landH127 which I have givenH5414(H8804) them; and this houseH1004, which I have hallowedH6942(H8689) for my nameH8034, will I cast outH7971(H8762) of my sightH6440; and IsraelH3478 shall be a proverbH4912 and a bywordH8148 among all peopleH5971:
8 Though this house is so high, yet everyone who passes by it will be astonished and hiss; and they will say, ‘Why has Yahweh done this to this land and to this house?’
KJVAnd at this houseH1004, which is highH5945, every one that passethH5674(H8802) by it shall be astonishedH8074(H8799), and shall hissH8319(H8804); and they shall sayH559(H8804), Why hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213(H8804) thus unto this landH776, and to this houseH1004?
9 and they will answer, ‘Because they abandoned Yahweh their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and embraced other gods, and worshiped them, and served them. Therefore Yahweh has brought all this evil on them.’”
KJVAnd they shall answerH559(H8804), Because they forsookH5800(H8804) the LORDH3068 their GodH430, who brought forthH3318(H8689) their fathersH1 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and have taken holdH2388(H8686) upon otherH312 godsH430, and have worshippedH7812(H8691) them, and servedH5647(H8799) them: therefore hath the LORDH3068 broughtH935(H8689) upon them all this evilH7451.
10 At the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the two houses, Yahweh’s house and the king’s house
KJVAnd it came to pass at the endH7097 of twentyH6242 yearsH8141, when SolomonH8010 had builtH1129(H8804) the twoH8147 housesH1004, the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the king'sH4428 houseH1004,
11 (now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and cypress trees, and with gold, according to all his desire), King Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
KJV( Now HiramH2438 the kingH4428 of TyreH6865 had furnishedH5375(H8765) SolomonH8010 with cedarH730 treesH6086 and firH1265 treesH6086, and with goldH2091, according to all his desireH2656,) that thenH227 kingH4428 SolomonH8010 gaveH5414(H8799) HiramH2438 twentyH6242 citiesH5892 in the landH776 of GalileeH1551.
12 Hiram came out of Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they didn’t please him.
KJVAnd HiramH2438 came outH3318(H8799) from TyreH6865 to seeH7200(H8800) the citiesH5892 which SolomonH8010 had givenH5414(H8804) him; and they pleasedH3474(H8804)H5869 him not.
13 He said, “What cities are these which you have given me, my brother?” He called them the land of Cabul to this day.
KJVAnd he saidH559(H8799), What citiesH5892 are these which thou hast givenH5414(H8804) me, my brotherH251? And he calledH7121(H8799) them the landH776 of CabulH3521 unto this dayH3117.

KJVAnd HiramH2438 sentH7971(H8799) to the kingH4428 sixscoreH3967H6242 talentsH3603 of goldH2091.
15 This is the reason of the forced labor which King Solomon conscripted: to build Yahweh’s house, his own house, Millo, Jerusalem’s wall, Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
KJVAnd this is the reasonH1697 of the levyH4522 which kingH4428 SolomonH8010 raisedH5927(H8689); for to buildH1129(H8800) the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and his own houseH1004, and MilloH4407, and the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389, and HazorH2674, and MegiddoH4023, and GezerH1507.
16 Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, taken Gezer, burned it with fire, killed the Canaanites who lived in the city, and given it for a wedding gift to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.
KJVFor PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 had gone upH5927(H8804), and takenH3920(H8799) GezerH1507, and burntH8313(H8799) it with fireH784, and slainH2026(H8804) the CanaanitesH3669 that dweltH3427(H8802) in the cityH5892, and givenH5414(H8799) it for a presentH7964 unto his daughterH1323, Solomon'sH8010 wifeH802.
17 Solomon built in the land Gezer, Beth Horon the lower,
KJVAnd SolomonH8010 builtH1129(H8799) GezerH1507, and BethhoronH1032 the netherH8481,
18 Baalath, Tamar in the wilderness,
KJVAnd BaalathH1191, and TadmorH8412 in the wildernessH4057, in the landH776,
19 all the storage cities that Solomon had, the cities for his chariots, the cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
KJVAnd all the citiesH5892 of storeH4543 that SolomonH8010 had, and citiesH5892 for his chariotsH7393, and citiesH5892 for his horsemenH6571, and thatH2837 which SolomonH8010 desiredH2836(H8804) to buildH1129(H8800) in JerusalemH3389, and in LebanonH3844, and in all the landH776 of his dominionH4475.
20 As for all the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel—
KJVAnd all the peopleH5971 that were leftH3498(H8737) of the AmoritesH567, HittitesH2850, PerizzitesH6522, HivitesH2340, and JebusitesH2983, which were not of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478,
21 their children who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able utterly to destroy—of them Solomon raised a levy of bondservants to this day.
KJVTheir childrenH1121 that were leftH3498(H8738) afterH310 them in the landH776, whom the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 also were not ableH3201(H8804) utterly to destroyH2763(H8687), upon those did SolomonH8010 levyH5927(H8686) a tributeH4522 of bondserviceH5647(H8802) unto this dayH3117.
22 But of the children of Israel Solomon made no bondservants; but they were the men of war, his servants, his princes, his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.
KJVBut of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did SolomonH8010 makeH5414(H8804) no bondmenH5650: but they were menH582 of warH4421, and his servantsH5650, and his princesH8269, and his captainsH7991, and rulersH8269 of his chariotsH7393, and his horsemenH6571.
23 These were the five hundred fifty chief officers who were over Solomon’s work, who ruled over the people who labored in the work.
KJVThese were the chiefH8269 of the officersH5324(H8737) that were over Solomon'sH8010 workH4399, fiveH2568 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572, which bare ruleH7287(H8802) over the peopleH5971 that wroughtH6213(H8804) in the workH4399.

25 Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he built to Yahweh three times per year, burning incense with them on the altar that was before Yahweh. So he finished the house.
