9:1 As
soon
as
Solomon
had
finished
building
the
house
of
the
LORD
and
the
king's
house
and
all
that
Solomon
desired
to
build,
9:2 the
LORD
appeared
to
Solomon
a
second
time,
as
he
had
appeared
to
him
at
Gibeon.
9:3 And
the
LORD
said
to
him,
"I
have
heard
your
prayer
and
your
plea,
which
you
have
made
before
me.
I
have
consecrated
this
house
that
you
have
built,
by
putting
my
name
there
forever.
My
eyes
and
my
heart
will
be
there
for
all
time.
9:4 And
as
for
you,
if
you
will
walk
before
me,
as
David
your
father
walked,
with
integrity
of
heart
and
uprightness,
doing
according
to
all
that
I
have
commanded
you,
and
keeping
my
statutes
and
my
rules,
9:5 then
I
will
establish
your
royal
throne
over
Israel
forever,
as
I
promised
David
your
father,
saying,
'You
shall
not
lack
a
man
on
the
throne
of
Israel.'
9:6 But
if
you
turn
aside
from
following
me,
you
or
your
children,
and
do
not
keep
my
commandments
and
my
statutes
that
I
have
set
before
you,
but
go
and
serve
other
gods
and
worship
them,
9:7 then
I
will
cut
off
Israel
from
the
land
that
I
have
given
them,
and
the
house
that
I
have
consecrated
for
my
name
I
will
cast
out
of
my
sight,
and
Israel
will
become
a
proverb
and
a
byword
among
all
peoples.
9:8 And
this
house
will
become
a
heap
of
ruins.
Everyone
passing
by
it
will
be
astonished
and
will
hiss,
and
they
will
say,
'Why
has
the
LORD
done
thus
to
this
land
and
to
this
house'
9:9 Then
they
will
say,
'Because
they
abandoned
the
LORD
their
God
who
brought
their
fathers
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
and
laid
hold
on
other
gods
and
worshiped
them
and
served
them.
Therefore
the
LORD
has
brought
all
this
disaster
on
them.'"
9:10 At
the
end
of
twenty
years,
in
which
Solomon
had
built
the
two
houses,
the
house
of
the
LORD
and
the
king's
house,
9:11 and
Hiram
king
of
Tyre
had
supplied
Solomon
with
cedar
and
cypress
timber
and
gold,
as
much
as
he
desired,
King
Solomon
gave
to
Hiram
twenty
cities
in
the
land
of
Galilee.
9:12 But
when
Hiram
came
from
Tyre
to
see
the
cities
that
Solomon
had
given
him,
they
did
not
please
him.
9:13 Therefore
he
said,
"What
kind
of
cities
are
these
that
you
have
given
me,
my
brother"
So
they
are
called
the
land
of
Cabul
to
this
day.
9:14 Hiram
had
sent
to
the
king
120
talents
of
gold.
9:15 And
this
is
the
account
of
the
forced
labor
that
King
Solomon
drafted
to
build
the
house
of
the
LORD
and
his
own
house
and
the
Millo
and
the
wall
of
Jerusalem
and
Hazor
and
Megiddo
and
Gezer
9:16 (Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt
had
gone
up
and
captured
Gezer
and
burned
it
with
fire,
and
had
killed
the
Canaanites
who
lived
in
the
city,
and
had
given
it
as
dowry
to
his
daughter,
Solomon's
wife;
9:17 so
Solomon
rebuilt
Gezer)
and
Lower
Beth-horon
9:18 and
Baalath
and
Tamar
in
the
wilderness,
in
the
land
of
Judah,
9:19 and
all
the
store
cities
that
Solomon
had,
and
the
cities
for
his
chariots,
and
the
cities
for
his
horsemen,
and
whatever
Solomon
desired
to
build
in
Jerusalem,
in
Lebanon,
and
in
all
the
land
of
his
dominion.
9:20 All
the
people
who
were
left
of
the
Amorites,
the
Hittites,
the
Perizzites,
the
Hivites,
and
the
Jebusites,
who
were
not
of
the
people
of
Israel--
9:21 their
descendants
who
were
left
after
them
in
the
land,
whom
the
people
of
Israel
were
unable
to
devote
to
destruction--these
Solomon
drafted
to
be
slaves,
and
so
they
are
to
this
day.
9:22 But
of
the
people
of
Israel
Solomon
made
no
slaves.
They
were
the
soldiers,
they
were
his
officials,
his
commanders,
his
captains,
his
chariot
commanders
and
his
horsemen.
9:23 These
were
the
chief
officers
who
were
over
Solomon's
work:
550
who
had
charge
of
the
people
who
carried
on
the
work.
9:24 But
Pharaoh's
daughter
went
up
from
the
city
of
David
to
her
own
house
that
Solomon
had
built
for
her.
Then
he
built
the
Millo.
9:25 Three
times
a
year
Solomon
used
to
offer
up
burnt
offerings
and
peace
offerings
on
the
altar
that
he
built
to
the
LORD,
making
offerings
with
it
before
the
LORD.
So
he
finished
the
house.
9:26 King
Solomon
built
a
fleet
of
ships
at
Ezion-geber,
which
is
near
Eloth
on
the
shore
of
the
Red
Sea,
in
the
land
of
Edom.
9:27 And
Hiram
sent
with
the
fleet
his
servants,
seamen
who
were
familiar
with
the
sea,
together
with
the
servants
of
Solomon.
9:28 And
they
went
to
Ophir
and
brought
from
there
gold,
420
talents,
and
they
brought
it
to
King
Solomon.
