1 And it came to pass at the end of twen­ty years, where­in Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house, 2 That the cities which Hu­ram had re­stored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the chil­dren of Is­rael to dwell there. 3 And Solomon went to Hamath­zobah, and pre­vailed against it. 4 And he built Tad­mor in the wilder­ness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath. 5 Also he built Beth­horon the up­per, and Beth­horon the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, and bars; 6 And Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the char­i­ot cities, and the cities of the horse­men, and all that Solomon de­sired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and through­out all the land of his do­min­ion. 7 As for all the peo­ple that were left of the Hit­tites, and the Amor­ites, and the Per­izzites, and the Hivites, and the Je­busites, which were not of Is­rael, 8 But of their chil­dren, who were left af­ter them in the land, whom the chil­dren of Is­rael con­sumed not, them did Solomon make to pay trib­ute un­til this day. 9 But of the chil­dren of Is­rael did Solomon make no ser­vants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his cap­tains, and cap­tains of his char­i­ots and horse­men. 10 And these were the chief of king Solomon's of­fi­cers, even two hun­dred and fifty, that bare rule over the peo­ple. 11 And Solomon brought up the daugh­ter of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Is­rael, be­cause the places are holy, where­un­to the ark of the LORD hath come. 12 Then Solomon of­fered burnt of­fer­ings unto the LORD on the al­tar of the LORD, which he had built be­fore the porch, 13 Even af­ter a cer­tain rate ev­ery day, of­fer­ing ac­cord­ing to the com­mand­ment of Moses, on the sab­baths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of un­leav­ened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of taber­na­cles. 14 And he ap­point­ed, ac­cord­ing to the or­der of David his fa­ther, the cours­es of the priests to their ser­vice, and the Levites to their charges, to praise and min­is­ter be­fore the priests, as the duty of ev­ery day re­quired: the porters also by their cours­es at ev­ery gate: for so had David the man of God com­mand­ed. 15 And they de­part­ed not from the com­mand­ment of the king unto the priests and Levites con­cern­ing any mat­ter, or con­cern­ing the trea­sures. 16 Now all the work of Solomon was pre­pared unto the day of the foun­da­tion of the house of the LORD, and un­til it was fin­ished. So the house of the LORD was per­fect­ed. 17 Then went Solomon to Ezionge­ber, and to Eloth, at the sea side in the land of Edom. 18 And Hu­ram sent him by the hands of his ser­vants ships, and ser­vants that had knowl­edge of the sea; and they went with the ser­vants of Solomon to Ophir, and took thence four hun­dred and fifty tal­ents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.
