8:1 At
the
end
of
twenty
years,
in
which
Solomon
had
built
the
house
of
the
LORD
and
his
own
house,
8:2 Solomon
rebuilt
the
cities
that
Hiram
had
given
to
him,
and
settled
the
people
of
Israel
in
them.
8:3 And
Solomon
went
to
Hamath-zobah
and
took
it.
8:4 He
built
Tadmor
in
the
wilderness
and
all
the
store
cities
that
he
built
in
Hamath.
8:5 He
also
built
Upper
Beth-horon
and
Lower
Beth-horon,
fortified
cities
with
walls,
gates,
and
bars,
8:6 and
Baalath,
and
all
the
store
cities
that
Solomon
had
and
all
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.
8:7 All
the
people
who
were
left
of
the
Hittites,
the
Amorites,
the
Perizzites,
the
Hivites,
and
the
Jebusites,
who
were
not
of
Israel,
8:8 from
their
descendants
who
were
left
after
them
in
the
land,
whom
the
people
of
Israel
had
not
destroyed--these
Solomon
drafted
as
forced
labor,
and
so
they
are
to
this
day.
8:9 But
of
the
people
of
Israel
Solomon
made
no
slaves
for
his
work;
they
were
soldiers,
and
his
officers,
the
commanders
of
his
chariots,
and
his
horsemen.
8:10 And
these
were
the
chief
officers
of
King
Solomon,
250,
who
exercised
authority
over
the
people.
8:11 Solomon
brought
Pharaoh's
daughter
up
from
the
city
of
David
to
the
house
that
he
had
built
for
her,
for
he
said,
"My
wife
shall
not
live
in
the
house
of
David
king
of
Israel,
for
the
places
to
which
the
ark
of
the
LORD
has
come
are
holy."
8:12 Then
Solomon
offered
up
burnt
offerings
to
the
LORD
on
the
altar
of
the
LORD
that
he
had
built
before
the
vestibule,
8:13 as
the
duty
of
each
day
required,
offering
according
to
the
commandment
of
Moses
for
the
Sabbaths,
the
new
moons,
and
the
three
annual
feasts--the
Feast
of
Unleavened
Bread,
the
Feast
of
Weeks,
and
the
Feast
of
Booths.
8:14 According
to
the
ruling
of
David
his
father,
he
appointed
the
divisions
of
the
priests
for
their
service,
and
the
Levites
for
their
offices
of
praise
and
ministry
before
the
priests
as
the
duty
of
each
day
required,
and
the
gatekeepers
in
their
divisions
at
each
gate,
for
so
David
the
man
of
God
had
commanded.
8:15 And
they
did
not
turn
aside
from
what
the
king
had
commanded
the
priests
and
Levites
concerning
any
matter
and
concerning
the
treasuries.
8:16 Thus
was
accomplished
all
the
work
of
Solomon
from
the
day
the
foundation
of
the
house
of
the
LORD
was
laid
until
it
was
finished.
So
the
house
of
the
LORD
was
completed.
8:17 Then
Solomon
went
to
Ezion-geber
and
Eloth
on
the
shore
of
the
sea,
in
the
land
of
Edom.
8:18 And
Hiram
sent
to
him
by
the
hand
of
his
servants
ships
and
servants
familiar
with
the
sea,
and
they
went
to
Ophir
together
with
the
servants
of
Solomon
and
brought
from
there
450
talents
of
gold
and
brought
it
to
King
Solomon.
