1At the end of twenty years during which Solomon had built the LORD's temple and his own palace--1וַיְהִ֞י מִקֵּ֣ץ ׀ עֶשְׂרִ֣ים שָׁנָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר בָּנָ֧ה שְׁלֹמֹ֛ה אֶת־ בֵּ֥ית יְהוָ֖ה וְאֶת־ בֵּיתֽוֹ׃
2Solomon had rebuilt the cities Hiram gave him and settled Israelites there--2וְהֶעָרִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֨ר נָתַ֤ן חוּרָם֙ לִשְׁלֹמֹ֔ה בָּנָ֥ה שְׁלֹמֹ֖ה אֹתָ֑ם וַיּ֥וֹשֶׁב שָׁ֖ם אֶת־ בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
3Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and seized it.3וַיֵּ֤לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹה֙ חֲמָ֣ת צוֹבָ֔ה וַיֶּחֱזַ֖ק עָלֶֽיהָ׃
4He built Tadmor in the wilderness along with all the storage cities that he built in Hamath.4וַיִּ֥בֶן אֶת־ תַּדְמֹ֖ר בַּמִּדְבָּ֑ר וְאֵת֙ כָּל־ עָרֵ֣י הַֽמִּסְכְּנ֔וֹת אֲשֶׁ֥ר בָּנָ֖ה בַּחֲמָֽת׃
5He built Upper Beth-horon and Lower Beth-horon--fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars--5וַיִּ֜בֶן אֶת־ בֵּ֤ית חוֹרוֹן֙ הָֽעֶלְי֔וֹן וְאֶת־ בֵּ֥ית חוֹר֖וֹן הַתַּחְתּ֑וֹן עָרֵ֣י מָצ֔וֹר חוֹמ֖וֹת דְּלָתַ֥יִם וּבְרִֽיחַ׃
6Baalath, all the storage cities that belonged to Solomon, all the chariot cities, the cavalry cities, and everything Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, or anywhere else in the land of his dominion.6וְאֶֽת־ בַּעֲלָ֗ת וְאֵ֨ת כָּל־ עָרֵ֤י הַֽמִּסְכְּנוֹת֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הָי֣וּ לִשְׁלֹמֹ֔ה וְאֵת֙ כָּל־ עָרֵ֣י הָרֶ֔כֶב וְאֵ֖ת עָרֵ֣י הַפָּרָשִׁ֑ים וְאֵ֣ת ׀ כָּל־ חֵ֣שֶׁק שְׁלֹמֹ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֤ר חָשַׁק֙ לִבְנ֤וֹת בִּירֽוּשָׁלִַ֙ם֙ וּבַלְּבָנ֔וֹן וּבְכֹ֖ל אֶ֥רֶץ מֶמְשַׁלְתּֽוֹ׃
7As for all the peoples who remained of the Hethites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, who were not from Israel--7כָּל־ הָ֠עָם הַנּוֹתָ֨ר מִן־ הַחִתִּ֜י וְהָאֱמֹרִ֤י וְהַפְּרִזִּי֙ וְהַחִוִּ֣י וְהַיְבוּסִ֔י אֲשֶׁ֛ר לֹ֥א מִיִּשְׂרָאֵ֖ל הֵֽמָּה׃
8their descendants who remained in the land after them, those the Israelites had not completely destroyed--Solomon imposed forced labor on them; it is this way today.8מִן־ בְּנֵיהֶ֗ם אֲשֶׁ֨ר נוֹתְר֤וּ אַחֲרֵיהֶם֙ בָּאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא־ כִלּ֖וּם בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיַּעֲלֵ֤ם שְׁלֹמֹה֙ לְמַ֔ס עַ֖ד הַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
9But Solomon did not consign the Israelites to be slaves for his work; they were soldiers, commanders of his captains, and commanders of his chariots and his cavalry.9וּמִן־ בְּנֵי֙ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֲ֠שֶׁר לֹא־ נָתַ֧ן שְׁלֹמֹ֛ה לַעֲבָדִ֖ים לִמְלַאכְתּ֑וֹ כִּי־ הֵ֜מָּה אַנְשֵׁ֤י מִלְחָמָה֙ וְשָׂרֵ֣י שָׁלִישָׁ֔יו וְשָׂרֵ֥י רִכְבּ֖וֹ וּפָרָשָֽׁיו׃ פ
10These were King Solomon's deputies: 250 who supervised the people.10וְאֵ֨לֶּה שָׂרֵ֤י [הנציבים] (הַנִּצָּבִ֛ים‪‬) אֲשֶׁר־ לַמֶּ֥לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹ֖ה חֲמִשִּׁ֣ים וּמָאתָ֑יִם הָרֹדִ֖ים בָּעָֽם׃
11Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh from the city of David to the house he had built for her, for he said, "My wife must not live in the house of King David of Israel because the places the ark of the LORD has come into are holy."11וְאֶת־ בַּת־ פַּרְעֹ֗ה הֶעֱלָ֤ה שְׁלֹמֹה֙ מֵעִ֣יר דָּוִ֔יד לַבַּ֖יִת אֲשֶׁ֣ר בָּֽנָה־ לָ֑הּ כִּ֣י אָמַ֗ר לֹא־ תֵשֵׁ֨ב אִשָּׁ֥ה לִי֙ בְּבֵית֙ דָּוִ֣יד מֶֽלֶךְ־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל כִּי־ קֹ֣דֶשׁ הֵ֔מָּה אֲשֶׁר־ בָּֽאָ֥ה אֲלֵיהֶ֖ם אֲר֥וֹן יְהוָֽה׃ פ
12At that time Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the LORD's altar he had made in front of the portico.12אָ֣ז הֶעֱלָ֧ה שְׁלֹמֹ֛ה עֹל֖וֹת לַיהוָ֑ה עַ֚ל מִזְבַּ֣ח יְהוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר בָּנָ֖ה לִפְנֵ֥י הָאוּלָֽם׃
13He followed the daily requirement for offerings according to the commandment of Moses for Sabbaths, New Moons, and the three annual appointed festivals: the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of Shelters.13וּבִדְבַר־ י֣וֹם בְּי֗וֹם לְהַעֲלוֹת֙ כְּמִצְוַ֣ת מֹשֶׁ֔ה לַשַּׁבָּתוֹת֙ וְלֶ֣חֳדָשִׁ֔ים וְלַמּ֣וֹעֲד֔וֹת שָׁל֥וֹשׁ פְּעָמִ֖ים בַּשָּׁנָ֑ה בְּחַ֧ג הַמַּצּ֛וֹת וּבְחַ֥ג הַשָּׁבֻע֖וֹת וּבְחַ֥ג הַסֻּכּֽוֹת׃
14According to the ordinances of his father David, he appointed the divisions of the priests over their service, of the Levites over their responsibilities to offer praise and to minister before the priests following the daily requirement, and of the gatekeepers by their divisions with respect to each temple gate, for this had been the command of David, the man of God.14וַיַּעֲמֵ֣ד כְּמִשְׁפַּ֣ט דָּֽוִיד־ אָ֠בִיו אֶת־ מַחְלְק֨וֹת הַכֹּהֲנִ֜ים עַל־ עֲבֹדָתָ֗ם וְהַלְוִיִּ֣ם עַל־ מִ֠שְׁמְרוֹתָם לְהַלֵּ֨ל וּלְשָׁרֵ֜ת נֶ֤גֶד הַכֹּֽהֲנִים֙ לִדְבַר־ י֣וֹם בְּיוֹמ֔וֹ וְהַשּׁוֹעֲרִ֥ים בְּמַחְלְקוֹתָ֖ם לְשַׁ֣עַר וָשָׁ֑עַר כִּ֣י כֵ֔ן מִצְוַ֖ת דָּוִ֥יד אִישׁ־ הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃
15They did not turn aside from the king's command regarding the priests and the Levites concerning any matter or concerning the treasuries.15וְלֹ֣א סָרוּ֩ מִצְוַ֨ת הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ עַל־ הַכֹּהֲנִ֧ים וְהַלְוִיִּ֛ם לְכָל־ דָּבָ֖ר וְלָאֹצָרֽוֹת׃
16All of Solomon's work was carried out from the day the foundation was laid for the LORD's temple until it was finished. So the LORD's temple was completed.16וַתִּכֹּן֙ כָּל־ מְלֶ֣אכֶת שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה עַד־ הַיּ֛וֹם מוּסַ֥ד בֵּית־ יְהוָ֖ה וְעַד־ כְּלֹת֑וֹ שָׁלֵ֖ם בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃ ס
17At that time Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the seashore in the land of Edom.17אָז֩ הָלַ֨ךְ שְׁלֹמֹ֜ה לְעֶצְיֽוֹן־ גֶּ֧בֶר וְאֶל־ אֵיל֛וֹת עַל־ שְׂפַ֥ת הַיָּ֖ם בְּאֶ֥רֶץ אֱדֽוֹם׃
18So Hiram sent ships to him by his servants along with crews of experienced seamen. They went with Solomon's servants to Ophir, took from there seventeen tons of gold, and delivered it to King Solomon.18וַיִּֽשְׁלַֽח־ לוֹ֩ חוּרָ֨ם בְּיַד־ עֲבָדָ֜יו [אוניות] (אֳנִיּ֗וֹת) וַעֲבָדִים֮ י֣וֹדְעֵי יָם֒ וַיָּבֹ֜אוּ עִם־ עַבְדֵ֤י שְׁלֹמֹה֙ אוֹפִ֔ירָה וַיִּקְח֣וּ מִשָּׁ֔ם אַרְבַּע־ מֵא֥וֹת וַחֲמִשִּׁ֖ים כִּכַּ֣ר זָהָ֑ב וַיָּבִ֖יאוּ אֶל־ הַמֶּ֥לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹֽה׃ פ
