Chapter 9
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
Solomon
had
finished
the
building
of
the
house
of
the
Lord,
and
the
king’s
house,
and
all
Solomon’s
desire
which
he
was
pleased
to
do,
2
That
the
Lord
appeared
to
Solomon
the
second
time,
as
he
had
appeared
unto
him
at
Gibeon.
3
And
the
Lord
said
unto
him,
I
have
heard
thy
prayer
and
thy
supplication,
that
thou
hast
made
before
me:
I
have
hallowed
this
house,
which
thou
hast
built,
to
put
my
name
there
for
ever;
and
mine
eyes
and
mine
heart
shall
be
there
perpetually.
4
And
if
thou
wilt
walk
before
me,
as
David
thy
father
walked,
in
integrity
of
heart,
and
in
uprightness,
to
do
according
to
all
that
I
have
commanded
thee,
and
wilt
keep
my
statutes
and
my
judgments:
5
Then
I
will
establish
the
throne
of
thy
kingdom
upon
Israel
for
ever,
as
I
promised
to
David
thy
father,
saying,
There
shall
not
fail
thee
a
man
upon
the
throne
of
Israel.
6
But
if
ye
shall
at
all
turn
from
following
me,
ye
or
your
children,
and
will
not
keep
my
commandments
and
my
statutes
which
I
have
set
before
you,
but
go
and
serve
other
gods,
and
worship
them:
7
Then
will
I
cut
off
Israel
out
of
the
land
which
I
have
given
them;
and
this
house,
which
I
have
hallowed
for
my
name,
will
I
cast
out
of
my
sight;
and
Israel
shall
be
a
proverb
and
a
byword
among
all
people:
8
And
at
this
house,
which
is
high,
every
one
that
passeth
by
it
shall
be
astonished,
and
shall
hiss;
and
they
shall
say,
Why
hath
the
Lord
done
thus
unto
this
land,
and
to
this
house?
9
And
they
shall
answer,
Because
they
forsook
the
Lord
their
God,
who
brought
forth
their
fathers
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
have
taken
hold
upon
other
gods,
and
have
worshipped
them,
and
served
them:
therefore
hath
the
Lord
brought
upon
them
all
this
evil.
10
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,
11
(Now
Hiram
the
king
of
Tyre
had
furnished
Solomon
with
cedar
trees
and
fir
trees,
and
with
gold,
according
to
all
his
desire,)
that
then
king
Solomon
gave
Hiram
twenty
cities
in
the
land
of
Galilee.
12
And
Hiram
came
out
from
Tyre
to
see
the
cities
which
Solomon
had
given
him;
and
they
pleased
him
not.
13
And
he
said,
What
cities
are
these
which
thou
hast
given
me,
my
brother?
And
he
called
them
the
land
of
Cabul
unto
this
day.
14
And
Hiram
sent
to
the
king
sixscore
talents
of
gold.
15
And
this
is
the
reason
of
the
levy
which
king
Solomon
raised;
for
to
build
the
house
of
the
Lord,
and
his
own
house,
and
Millo,
and
the
wall
of
Jerusalem,
and
Hazor,
and
Megiddo,
and
Gezer.
16
For
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt
had
gone
up,
and
taken
Gezer,
and
burnt
it
with
fire,
and
slain
the
Canaanites
that
dwelt
in
the
city,
and
given
it
for
a
present
unto
his
daughter,
Solomon’s
wife.
17
And
Solomon
built
Gezer,
and
Beth-horon
the
nether,
18
And
Baalath,
and
Tadmor
in
the
wilderness,
in
the
land,
19
And
all
the
cities
of
store
that
Solomon
had,
and
cities
for
his
chariots,
and
cities
for
his
horsemen,
and
that
which
Solomon
desired
to
build
in
Jerusalem,
and
in
Lebanon,
and
in
all
the
land
of
his
dominion.
20
And
all
the
people
that
were
left
of
the
Amorites,
Hittites,
Perizzites,
Hivites,
and
Jebusites,
which
were
not
of
the
children
of
Israel,
21
Their
children
that
were
left
after
them
in
the
land,
whom
the
children
of
Israel
also
were
not
able
utterly
to
destroy,
upon
those
did
Solomon
levy
a
tribute
of
bondservice
unto
this
day.
22
But
of
the
children
of
Israel
did
Solomon
make
no
bondmen:
but
they
were
men
of
war,
and
his
servants,
and
his
princes,
and
his
captains,
and
rulers
of
his
chariots,
and
his
horsemen.
23
These
were
the
chief
of
the
officers
that
were
over
Solomon’s
work,
five
hundred
and
fifty,
which
bare
rule
over
the
people
that
wrought
in
the
work.
24
But
Pharaoh’s
daughter
came
up
out
of
the
city
of
David
unto
her
house
which
Solomon
had
built
for
her:
then
did
he
build
Millo.
25
And
three
times
in
a
year
did
Solomon
offer
burnt
offerings
and
peace
offerings
upon
the
altar
which
he
built
unto
the
Lord,
and
he
burnt
incense
upon
the
altar
that
was
before
the
Lord.
So
he
finished
the
house.
26
And
king
Solomon
made
a
navy
of
ships
in
Ezion-geber,
which
is
beside
Eloth,
on
the
shore
of
the
Red
sea,
in
the
land
of
Edom.
27
And
Hiram
sent
in
the
navy
his
servants,
shipmen
that
had
knowledge
of
the
sea,
with
the
servants
of
Solomon.
28
And
they
came
to
Ophir,
and
fetched
from
thence
gold,
four
hundred
and
twenty
talents,
and
brought
it
to
king
Solomon.
