6:1

And it came to pass in the four
<0702>

hundred
<03967> <08141>

and eightieth
<08084>

year
<08141>

after the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

were come out
<03318> (8800)

of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

in the fourth
<07243>

year
<08141>

of Solomon's
<08010>

reign
<04427> (8800)

over Israel
<03478>_,

in the month
<02320>

Zif
<02099>_,

which [is] the second
<08145>

month
<02320>_,

that he began to build
<01129> (8799)

the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{began...: Heb. built}

6:2

And the house
<01004>

which king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

built
<01129> (8804)

for the LORD
<03068>_,

the length
<0753>

thereof [was] threescore
<08346>

cubits
<0520>_,

and the breadth
<07341>

thereof twenty
<06242>

[cubits], and the height
<06967>

thereof thirty
<07970>

cubits
<0520>_.

6:3

And the porch
<0197>

before
<06440>

the temple
<01964>

of the house
<01004>_,

twenty
<06242>

cubits
<0520>

[was] the length
<0753>

thereof, according to the breadth
<07341>

of the house
<01004>_;

[and] ten
<06235>

cubits
<0520>

[was] the breadth
<07341>

thereof before the house
<01004>_.

6:4

And for the house
<01004>

he made
<06213> (8799)

windows
<02474>

of narrow
<0331> (8801)

lights
<08261>_.

{of...: or, broad within, and narrow without: or, skewed and closed}

6:5

And against the wall
<07023>

of the house
<01004>

he built
<01129> (8799)

chambers
<03326> (8675) <03326>

round about
<05439>_,

[against] the walls
<07023>

of the house
<01004>

round about
<05439>_,

[both] of the temple
<01964>

and of the oracle
<01687>_:

and he made
<06213> (8799)

chambers
<06763>

round about
<05439>_:

{against the wall: or, upon, or, joining to the wall} {built chambers: Heb. built floors} {made chambers: Heb. made ribs}

6:6

The nethermost
<08481>

chamber
<03326> (8675) <03326>

[was] five
<02568>

cubits
<0520>

broad
<07341>_,

and the middle
<08484>

[was] six
<08337>

cubits
<0520>

broad
<07341>_,

and the third
<07992>

[was] seven
<07651>

cubits
<0520>

broad
<07341>_:

for without [in the wall] of
<02351>

the house
<01004>

he made
<05414> (8804)

narrowed rests
<04052>

round about
<05439>_,

that [the beams] should not be fastened
<0270> (8800)

in the walls
<07023>

of the house
<01004>_.

{narrowed...: Heb. narrowings, or, rebatements}

6:7

And the house
<01004>_,

when it was in building
<01129> (8736)_,

was built
<01129> (8738)

of stone
<068>

made ready
<08003>

before it was brought
<04551>

thither: so that there was neither hammer
<04717>

nor axe
<01631>

[nor] any tool
<03627>

of iron
<01270>

heard
<08085> (8738)

in the house
<01004>_,

while it was in building
<01129> (8736)_.

6:8

The door
<06607>

for the middle
<08484>

chamber
<06763>

[was] in the right
<03233>

side
<03802>

of the house
<01004>_:

and they went up
<05927> (8799)

with winding stairs
<03883>

into the middle
<08484>

[chamber], and out of the middle
<08484>

into the third
<07992>_.

{side: Heb. shoulder}

6:9

So he built
<01129> (8799)

the house
<01004>_,

and finished
<03615> (8762)

it; and covered
<05603> (8799)

the house
<01004>

with beams
<01356>

and boards
<07713>

of cedar
<0730>_.

{with...: or, the vaultbeams and the panellings with cedar}

6:10

And [then] he built
<01129> (8799)

chambers
<03326> (8675) <03326>

against all the house
<01004>_,

five
<02568>

cubits
<0520>

high
<06967>_:

and they rested
<0270> (8799)

on the house
<01004>

[with] timber
<06086>

of cedar
<0730>_.

6:11

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came to Solomon
<08010>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

6:12

[Concerning] this house
<01004>

which thou art in building
<01129> (8802)_,

if thou wilt walk
<03212> (8799)

in my statutes
<02708>_,

and execute
<06213> (8799)

my judgments
<04941>_,

and keep
<08104> (8804)

all my commandments
<04687>

to walk
<03212> (8800)

in them; then will I perform
<06965> (8689)

my word
<01697>

with thee, which I spake
<01696> (8765)

unto David
<01732>

thy father
<01>_:

6:13

And I will dwell
<07931> (8804)

among
<08432>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and will not forsake
<05800> (8799)

my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_.

6:14

So Solomon
<08010>

built
<01129> (8799)

the house
<01004>_,

and finished
<03615> (8762)

it.

6:15

And he built
<01129> (8799)

the walls
<07023>

of the house
<01004>

within
<01004>

with boards
<06763>

of cedar
<0730>_,

both the floor
<07172>

of the house
<01004>_,

and the walls
<07023>

of the cieling
<05604>_:

[and] he covered
<06823> (8765)

[them] on the inside
<01004>

with wood
<06086>_,

and covered
<06823> (8762)

the floor
<07172>

of the house
<01004>

with planks
<06763>

of fir
<01265>_.

{both...: or, from the floor of the house unto the walls, etc}

6:16

And he built
<01129> (8799)

twenty
<06242>

cubits
<0520>

on the sides
<03411>

of the house
<01004>_,

both
<04480>

the floor
<07172>

and the walls
<07023>

with boards
<06763>

of cedar
<0730>_:

he even built
<01129> (8799)

[them] for it within
<01004>_,

[even] for the oracle
<01687>_,

[even] for the most
<06944>

holy
<06944>

[place].

6:17

And the house
<01004>_,

that [is], the temple
<01964>

before
<03942>

it, was forty
<0705>

cubits
<0520>

[long].

6:18

And the cedar
<0730>

of the house
<01004>

within
<06441>

[was] carved
<04734>

with knops
<06497>

and open
<06362> (8803)

flowers
<06731>_:

all [was] cedar
<0730>_;

there was no stone
<068>

seen
<07200> (8738)_.

{knops: or, gourds} {open: Heb. openings of}

6:19

And the oracle
<01687>

he prepared
<03559> (8689)

in
<08432>

the house
<01004>

within
<06441>_,

to set
<05414> (8800)

there the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

6:20

And the oracle
<01687>

in the forepart
<06440>

[was] twenty
<06242>

cubits
<0520>

in length
<0753>_,

and twenty
<06242>

cubits
<0520>

in breadth
<07341>_,

and twenty
<06242>

cubits
<0520>

in the height
<06967>

thereof: and he overlaid
<06823> (8762)

it with pure
<05462> (8803)

gold
<02091>_;

and [so] covered
<06823> (8762)

the altar
<04196>

[which was of] cedar
<0730>_.

{pure: Heb. shut up}

6:21

So Solomon
<08010>

overlaid
<06823> (8762)

the house
<01004>

within
<06441>

with pure
<05462> (8803)

gold
<02091>_:

and he made a partition
<05674> (8762)

by the chains
<07572> (8675) <07572>

of gold
<02091>

before
<06440>

the oracle
<01687>_;

and he overlaid
<06823> (8762)

it with gold
<02091>_.

6:22

And the whole house
<01004>

he overlaid
<06823> (8765)

with gold
<02091>_,

until he had finished
<08552> (8800)

all the house
<01004>_:

also the whole altar
<04196>

that [was] by the oracle
<01687>

he overlaid
<06823> (8765)

with gold
<02091>_.

6:23

And within the oracle
<01687>

he made
<06213> (8799)

two
<08147>

cherubims
<03742>

[of] olive
<08081>

tree
<06086>_,

[each] ten
<06235>

cubits
<0520>

high
<06967>_.

{olive: or, oily: Heb. trees of oil}

6:24

And five
<02568>

cubits
<0520>

[was] the one
<0259>

wing
<03671>

of the cherub
<03742>_,

and five
<02568>

cubits
<0520>

the other
<08145>

wing
<03671>

of the cherub
<03742>_:

from the uttermost part
<07098>

of the one wing
<03671>

unto the uttermost part
<07098>

of the other
<03671>

[were] ten
<06235>

cubits
<0520>_.

6:25

And the other
<08145>

cherub
<03742>

[was] ten
<06235>

cubits
<0520>_:

both
<08147>

the cherubims
<03742>

[were] of one
<0259>

measure
<04060>

and one
<0259>

size
<07095>_.

6:26

The height
<06967>

of the one
<0259>

cherub
<03742>

[was] ten
<06235>

cubits
<0520>_,

and so [was it] of the other
<08145>

cherub
<03742>_.

6:27

And he set
<05414> (8799)

the cherubims
<03742>

within
<08432>

the inner
<06442>

house
<01004>_:

and they stretched forth
<06566> (8799)

the wings
<03671>

of the cherubims
<03742>_,

so that the wing
<03671>

of the one
<0259>

touched
<05060> (8799)

the [one] wall
<07023>_,

and the wing
<03671>

of the other
<08145>

cherub
<03742>

touched
<05060> (8802)

the other
<08145>

wall
<07023>_;

and their wings
<03671>

touched
<05060> (8802)

one
<03671>

another
<03671>

in the midst
<08432>

of the house
<01004>_.

{they...: or, the cherubims stretched forth their wings}

6:28

And he overlaid
<06823> (8762)

the cherubims
<03742>

with gold
<02091>_.

6:29

And he carved
<07049> (8804)

all the walls
<07023>

of the house
<01004>

round about
<04524>

with carved
<06603>

figures
<04734>

of cherubims
<03742>

and palm trees
<08561>

and open
<06362> (8803)

flowers
<06731>_,

within
<06441>

and without
<02435>_.

{open flowers: Heb. openings of flowers}

6:30

And the floor
<07172>

of the house
<01004>

he overlaid
<06823> (8765)

with gold
<02091>_,

within
<06441>

and without
<02435>_.

6:31

And for the entering
<06607>

of the oracle
<01687>

he made
<06213> (8804)

doors
<01817>

[of] olive
<08081>

tree
<06086>_:

the lintel
<0352>

[and] side posts
<04201>

[were] a fifth part
<02549>

[of the wall]. {a fifth...: or, fivesquare}

6:32

The two
<08147>

doors
<01817>

also [were of] olive
<08081>

tree
<06086>_;

and he carved
<07049> (8804)

upon them carvings
<04734>

of cherubims
<03742>

and palm trees
<08561>

and open
<06362> (8803)

flowers
<06731>_,

and overlaid
<06823> (8765)

[them] with gold
<02091>_,

and spread
<07286> (8686)

gold
<02091>

upon the cherubims
<03742>_,

and upon the palm trees
<08561>_.

{two...: or, leaves of the doors} {open flowers: Heb. openings of flowers}

6:33

So also made
<06213> (8804)

he for the door
<06607>

of the temple
<01964>

posts
<04201>

[of] olive
<08081>

tree
<06086>_,

a fourth part
<07243>

[of the wall]. {a fourth...: or, foursquare}

6:34

And the two
<08147>

doors
<01817>

[were of] fir
<01265>

tree
<06086>_:

the two
<08147>

leaves
<06763>

of the one
<0259>

door
<01817>

[were] folding
<01550>_,

and the two
<08147>

leaves
<07050>

of the other
<08145>

door
<01817>

[were] folding
<01550>_.

6:35

And he carved
<07049> (8804)

[thereon] cherubims
<03742>

and palm trees
<08561>

and open
<06362> (8803)

flowers
<06731>_:

and covered
<06823> (8765)

[them] with gold
<02091>

fitted
<03474> (8794)

upon the carved work
<02707> (8794)_.

6:36

And he built
<01129> (8799)

the inner
<06442>

court
<02691>

with three
<07969>

rows
<02905>

of hewed stone
<01496>_,

and a row
<02905>

of cedar
<0730>

beams
<03773>_.

6:37

In the fourth
<07243>

year
<08141>

was the foundation
<03245> (0)

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

laid
<03245> (8795)_,

in the month
<03391>

Zif
<02099>_:

6:38

And in the eleventh
<0259> <06240>

year
<08141>_,

in the month
<03391>

Bul
<0945>_,

which [is] the eighth
<08066>

month
<02320>_,

was the house
<01004>

finished
<03615> (8804)

throughout all the parts
<01697>

thereof, and according to all the fashion
<04941>

of it. So was he seven
<07651>

years
<08141>

in building
<01129> (8799)

it. {through out...: or, with all the parts thereof, and with all the ordinances thereof}

7:1

But Solomon
<08010>

was building
<01129> (8804)

his own house
<01004>

thirteen
<07969> <06240>

years
<08141>_,

and he finished
<03615> (8762)

all his house
<01004>_.

7:2

He built
<01129> (8799)

also the house
<01004>

of the forest
<03293>

of Lebanon
<03844>_;

the length
<0753>

thereof [was] an hundred
<03967>

cubits
<0520>_,

and the breadth
<07341>

thereof fifty
<02572>

cubits
<0520>_,

and the height
<06967>

thereof thirty
<07970>

cubits
<0520>_,

upon four
<0702>

rows
<02905>

of cedar
<0730>

pillars
<05982>_,

with cedar
<0730>

beams
<03773>

upon the pillars
<05982>_.

7:3

And [it was] covered
<05603> (8803)

with cedar
<0730>

above
<04605>

upon the beams
<06763>_,

that [lay] on forty
<0705>

five
<02568>

pillars
<05982>_,

fifteen
<06240>

[in] a row
<02905>_.

{beams: Heb. ribs}

7:4

And [there were] windows
<08261>

[in] three
<07969>

rows
<02905>_,

and light
<04237>

[was] against light
<04237>

[in] three
<07969>

ranks
<06471>_.

{light was...: Heb. sight against sight}

7:5

And all the doors
<06607>

and posts
<04201>

[were] square
<07251> (8803)_,

with the windows
<08260>_:

and light
<04237>

[was] against
<04136>

light
<04237>

[in] three
<07969>

ranks
<06471>_.

{doors...: or, spaces and pillars were square in prospect}

7:6

And he made
<06213> (8804)

a porch
<0197>

of pillars
<05982>_;

the length
<0753>

thereof [was] fifty
<02572>

cubits
<0520>_,

and the breadth
<07341>

thereof thirty
<07970>

cubits
<0520>_:

and the porch
<0197>

[was] before
<06440>

them: and the [other] pillars
<05982>

and the thick beam
<05646>

[were] before them. {before them: or, according to them}

7:7

Then he made
<06213> (8804)

a porch
<0197>

for the throne
<03678>

where he might judge
<08199> (8799)_,

[even] the porch
<0197>

of judgment
<04941>_:

and [it was] covered
<05603> (8803)

with cedar
<0730>

from one side of the floor
<07172>

to the other
<07172>_.

{from...: Heb. from floor to floor}

7:8

And his house
<01004>

where he dwelt
<03427> (8799)

[had] another
<0312>

court
<02691>

within
<01004>

the porch
<0197>_,

[which] was of the like work
<04639>_.

Solomon
<08010>

made
<06213> (8799)

also an house
<01004>

for Pharaoh's
<06547>

daughter
<01323>_,

whom he had taken
<03947> (8804)

[to wife], like unto this porch
<0197>_.

7:9

All these [were of] costly
<03368>

stones
<068>_,

according to the measures
<04060>

of hewed stones
<01496>_,

sawed
<01641> (8775)

with saws
<04050>_,

within
<01004>

and without
<02351>_,

even from the foundation
<04527>

unto the coping
<02947>_,

and [so] on the outside
<02351>

toward the great
<01419>

court
<02691>_.

7:10

And the foundation
<03245> (8794)

[was of] costly
<03368>

stones
<068>_,

even great
<01419>

stones
<068>_,

stones
<068>

of ten
<06235>

cubits
<0520>_,

and stones
<068>

of eight
<08083>

cubits
<0520>_.

7:11

And above
<04605>

[were] costly
<03368>

stones
<068>_,

after the measures
<04060>

of hewed stones
<01496>_,

and cedars
<0730>_.

7:12

And the great
<01419>

court
<02691>

round about
<05439>

[was] with three
<07969>

rows
<02905>

of hewed stones
<01496>_,

and a row
<02905>

of cedar
<0730>

beams
<03773>_,

both for the inner
<06442>

court
<02691>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and for the porch
<0197>

of the house
<01004>_.

7:13

And king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

sent
<07971> (8799)

and fetched
<03947> (8799)

Hiram
<02438>

out of Tyre
<06865>_.

{Hiram: also called, Huram}

7:14

He [was] a widow's
<0802> <0490>

son
<01121>

of the tribe
<04294>

of Naphtali
<05321>_,

and his father
<01>

[was] a man
<0376>

of Tyre
<06876>_,

a worker
<02790> (8802)

in brass
<05178>_:

and he was filled
<04390> (8735)

with wisdom
<02451>_,

and understanding
<08394>_,

and cunning
<01847>

to work
<06213> (8800)

all works
<04399>

in brass
<05178>_.

And he came
<0935> (8799)

to king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>_,

and wrought
<06213> (8799)

all his work
<04399>_.

{a widow's...: Heb. the son of a widow woman}

7:15

For he cast
<06696> (8799)

two
<08147>

pillars
<05982>

of brass
<05178>_,

of eighteen
<08083> <06240>

cubits
<0520>

high
<06967>

apiece
<05982> <0259>_:

and a line
<02339>

of twelve
<08147> <06240>

cubits
<0520>

did compass
<05437> (0)

either
<08145>

of them about
<05437> (8799)_.

{cast: Heb. fashioned}

7:16

And he made
<06213> (8804)

two
<08147>

chapiters
<03805>

[of] molten
<03332> (8716)

brass
<05178>_,

to set
<05414> (8800)

upon the tops
<07218>

of the pillars
<05982>_:

the height
<06967>

of the one
<0259>

chapiter
<03805>

[was] five
<02568>

cubits
<0520>_,

and the height
<06967>

of the other
<08145>

chapiter
<03805>

[was] five
<02568>

cubits
<0520>_:

7:17

[And] nets
<07638>

of checker
<07639>

work
<04639>_,

and wreaths
<01434>

of chain
<08333>

work
<04639>_,

for the chapiters
<03805>

which [were] upon the top
<07218>

of the pillars
<05982>_;

seven
<07651>

for the one
<0259>

chapiter
<03805>_,

and seven
<07651>

for the other
<08145>

chapiter
<03805>_.

7:18

And he made
<06213> (8799)

the pillars
<05982>_,

and two
<08147>

rows
<02905>

round about
<05439>

upon the one
<0259>

network
<07639>_,

to cover
<03680> (8763)

the chapiters
<03805>

that [were] upon the top
<07218>_,

with pomegranates
<07416>_:

and so did
<06213> (8804)

he for the other
<08145>

chapiter
<03805>_.

7:19

And the chapiters
<03805>

that [were] upon the top
<07218>

of the pillars
<05982>

[were] of lily
<07799>

work
<04639>

in the porch
<0197>_,

four
<0702>

cubits
<0520>_.

7:20

And the chapiters
<03805>

upon the two
<08147>

pillars
<05982>

[had pomegranates] also above
<04605>_,

over against
<05980>

the belly
<0990>

which [was] by
<05676>

the network
<07639>_:

and the pomegranates
<07416>

[were] two hundred
<03967>

in rows
<02905>

round about
<05439>

upon the other
<08145>

chapiter
<03805>_.

7:21

And he set up
<06965> (8686)

the pillars
<05982>

in the porch
<0197>

of the temple
<01964>_:

and he set up
<06965> (8686)

the right
<03233>

pillar
<05982>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

thereof Jachin
<03199>_:

and he set up
<06965> (8686)

the left
<08042>

pillar
<05982>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

thereof Boaz
<01162>_.

{Jachin: that is, He shall establish} {Boaz: that is, In it is strength}

7:22

And upon the top
<07218>

of the pillars
<05982>

[was] lily
<07799>

work
<04639>_:

so was the work
<04399>

of the pillars
<05982>

finished
<08552> (8799)_.

7:23

And he made
<06213> (8799)

a molten
<03332> (8716)

sea
<03220>_,

ten
<06235>

cubits
<0520>

from the one brim
<08193>

to the other
<08193>_:

[it was] round
<05696>

all about
<05439>_,

and his height
<06967>

[was] five
<02568>

cubits
<0520>_:

and a line
<06957> (8675) <06961>

of thirty
<07970>

cubits
<0520>

did compass
<05437> (8799)

it round about
<05439>_.

{from...: Heb. from his brim to his brim}

7:24

And under the brim
<08193>

of it round about
<05439>

[there were] knops
<06497>

compassing
<05437> (8802)

it, ten
<06235>

in a cubit
<0520>_,

compassing
<05362> (8688)

the sea
<03220>

round about
<05439>_:

the knops
<06497>

[were] cast
<03333>

in two
<08147>

rows
<02905>_,

when it was cast
<03332> (8803)_.

7:25

It stood
<05975> (8802)

upon twelve
<08147> <06240>

oxen
<01241>_,

three
<07969>

looking
<06437> (8802)

toward the north
<06828>_,

and three
<07969>

looking
<06437> (8802)

toward the west
<03220>_,

and three
<07969>

looking
<06437> (8802)

toward the south
<05045>_,

and three
<07969>

looking
<06437> (8802)

toward the east
<04217>_:

and the sea
<03220>

[was set] above
<04605>

upon them, and all their hinder parts
<0268>

[were] inward
<01004>_.

7:26

And it [was] an hand breadth
<02947>

thick
<05672>_,

and the brim
<08193>

thereof was wrought
<04639>

like the brim
<08193>

of a cup
<03563>_,

with flowers
<06525>

of lilies
<07799>_:

it contained
<03557> (8686)

two thousand
<0505>

baths
<01324>_.

7:27

And he made
<06213> (8799)

ten
<06235>

bases
<04350>

of brass
<05178>_;

four
<0702>

cubits
<0520>

[was] the length
<0753>

of one
<0259>

base
<04350>_,

and four
<0702>

cubits
<0520>

the breadth
<07341>

thereof, and three
<07969>

cubits
<0520>

the height
<06967>

of it.

7:28

And the work
<04639>

of the bases
<04350>

[was] on this [manner]: they had borders
<04526>_,

and the borders
<04526>

[were] between the ledges
<07948>_:

7:29

And on the borders
<04526>

that [were] between the ledges
<07948>

[were] lions
<0738>_,

oxen
<01241>_,

and cherubims
<03742>_:

and upon the ledges
<07948>

[there was] a base
<03653>

above
<04605>_:

and beneath the lions
<0738>

and oxen
<01241>

[were] certain additions
<03914>

made of thin
<04174>

work
<04639>_.

7:30

And every
<0259>

base
<04350>

had four
<0702>

brasen
<05178>

wheels
<0212>_,

and plates
<05633>

of brass
<05178>_:

and the four
<0702>

corners
<06471>

thereof had undersetters
<03802>_:

under the laver
<03595>

[were] undersetters
<03802>

molten
<03332> (8803)_,

at the side
<05676>

of every
<0376>

addition
<03914>_.

7:31

And the mouth
<06310>

of it within
<01004>

the chapiter
<03805>

and above
<04605>

[was] a cubit
<0520>_:

but the mouth
<06310>

thereof [was] round
<05696>

[after] the work
<04639>

of the base
<03653>_,

a cubit
<0520>

and an half
<02677>_:

and also upon the mouth
<06310>

of it [were] gravings
<04734>

with their borders
<04526>_,

foursquare
<07251> (8794)_,

not round
<05696>_.

7:32

And under
<08478>

the borders
<04526>

[were] four
<0702>

wheels
<0212>_;

and the axletrees
<03027>

of the wheels
<0212>

[were joined] to the base
<04350>_:

and the height
<06967>

of a
<0259>

wheel
<0212>

[was] a cubit
<0520>

and half
<02677>

a cubit
<0520>_.

{joined...: Heb. in the base}

7:33

And the work
<04639>

of the wheels
<0212>

[was] like the work
<04639>

of a chariot
<04818>

wheel
<0212>_:

their axletrees
<03027>_,

and their naves
<01354>_,

and their felloes
<02839>_,

and their spokes
<02840>_,

[were] all molten
<03332> (8716)_.

7:34

And [there were] four
<0702>

undersetters
<03802>

to the four
<0702>

corners
<06438>

of one
<0259>

base
<04350>_:

[and] the undersetters
<03802>

[were] of the very base
<04350>

itself.

7:35

And in the top
<07218>

of the base
<04350>

[was there] a round
<05696>

compass
<05439>

of half
<02677>

a cubit
<0520>

high
<06967>_:

and on the top
<07218>

of the base
<04350>

the ledges
<03027>

thereof and the borders
<04526>

thereof [were] of the same.

7:36

For on the plates
<03871>

of the ledges
<03027>

thereof, and on the borders
<04526>

thereof, he graved
<06605> (8762)

cherubims
<03742>_,

lions
<0738>_,

and palm trees
<08561>_,

according to the proportion
<04626>

of every one
<0376>_,

and additions
<03914>

round about
<05439>_.

{proportion: Heb. nakedness}

7:37

After this [manner] he made
<06213> (8804)

the ten
<06235>

bases
<04350>_:

all of them had one
<0259>

casting
<04165>_,

one
<0259>

measure
<04060>_,

[and] one
<0259>

size
<07095>_.

7:38

Then made
<06213> (8799)

he ten
<06235>

lavers
<03595>

of brass
<05178>_:

one
<0259>

laver
<03595>

contained
<03557> (8686)

forty
<0705>

baths
<01324>_:

[and] every
<0259>

laver
<03595>

was four
<0702>

cubits
<0520>_:

[and] upon every one
<0259>

of the ten
<06235>

bases
<04350>

one
<0259>

laver
<03595>_.

7:39

And he put
<05414> (8799)

five
<02568>

bases
<04350>

on the right
<03225>

side
<03802>

of the house
<01004>_,

and five
<02568>

on the left
<08040>

side
<03802>

of the house
<01004>_:

and he set
<05414> (8804)

the sea
<03220>

on the right
<03233>

side
<03802>

of the house
<01004>

eastward
<06924>

over against
<04136>

the south
<05045>_.

{side: Heb. shoulder}

7:40

And Hiram
<02438>

made
<06213> (8799)

the lavers
<03595>_,

and the shovels
<03257>_,

and the basons
<04219>_.

So Hiram
<02438>

made
<03615> (8762)

an end of doing
<06213> (8800)

all the work
<04399>

that he made
<06213> (8804)

king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

for the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

{And Hiram: Heb. And Hirom}

7:41

The two
<08147>

pillars
<05982>_,

and the [two] bowls
<01543>

of the chapiters
<03805>

that [were] on the top
<07218>

of the two
<08147>

pillars
<05982>_;

and the two
<08147>

networks
<07639>_,

to cover
<03680> (8763)

the two
<08147>

bowls
<01543>

of the chapiters
<03805>

which [were] upon the top
<07218>

of the pillars
<05982>_;

7:42

And four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

pomegranates
<07416>

for the two
<08147>

networks
<07639>_,

[even] two
<08147>

rows
<02905>

of pomegranates
<07416>

for one
<0259>

network
<07639>_,

to cover
<03680> (8763)

the two
<08147>

bowls
<01543>

of the chapiters
<03805>

that [were] upon
<06440>

the pillars
<05982>_;

{upon...: Heb. upon the face of the pillars}

7:43

And the ten
<06235>

bases
<04350>_,

and ten
<06235>

lavers
<03595>

on the bases
<04350>_;

7:44

And one
<0259>

sea
<03220>_,

and twelve
<08147> <06240>

oxen
<01241>

under the sea
<03220>_;

7:45

And the pots
<05518>_,

and the shovels
<03257>_,

and the basons
<04219>_:

and all these vessels
<03627>_,

which Hiram
<02438>

made
<06213> (8804)

to king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

for the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

[were of] bright
<04178> (8794)

brass
<05178>_.

{bright: Heb. made bright or, scoured}

7:46

In the plain
<03603>

of Jordan
<03383>

did the king
<04428>

cast
<03332> (8804)

them, in the clay
<04568>

ground
<0127>

between Succoth
<05523>

and Zarthan
<06891>_.

{in...: Heb. in the thickness of the ground}

7:47

And Solomon
<08010>

left
<03240> (8686)

all the vessels
<03627>

[unweighed], because they were exceeding
<03966> <03966>

many
<07230>_:

neither was the weight
<04948>

of the brass
<05178>

found out
<02713> (8738)_.

{because...: Heb. for the exceeding multitude} {found: Heb. searched}

7:48

And Solomon
<08010>

made
<06213> (8799)

all the vessels
<03627>

that [pertained] unto the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

the altar
<04196>

of gold
<02091>_,

and the table
<07979>

of gold
<02091>_,

whereupon the shewbread
<03899> <06440>

[was],

7:49

And the candlesticks
<04501>

of pure
<05462> (8803)

gold
<02091>_,

five
<02568>

on the right
<03225>

[side], and five
<02568>

on the left
<08040>_,

before
<06440>

the oracle
<01687>_,

with the flowers
<06525>_,

and the lamps
<05216>_,

and the tongs
<04457>

[of] gold
<02091>_,

7:50

And the bowls
<05592>_,

and the snuffers
<04212>_,

and the basons
<04219>_,

and the spoons
<03709>_,

and the censers
<04289>

[of] pure
<05462> (8803)

gold
<02091>_;

and the hinges
<06596>

[of] gold
<02091>_,

[both] for the doors
<01817>

of the inner
<06442>

house
<01004>_,

the most
<06944>

holy
<06944>

[place, and] for the doors
<01817>

of the house
<01004>_,

[to wit], of the temple
<01964>_.

{censers: Heb. ash pans}

7:51

So was ended
<07999> (8799)

all the work
<04399>

that king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

made
<06213> (8804)

for the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

And Solomon
<08010>

brought in
<0935> (8686)

the things which David
<01732>

his father
<01>

had dedicated
<06944>_;

[even] the silver
<03701>_,

and the gold
<02091>_,

and the vessels
<03627>_,

did he put
<05414> (8804)

among the treasures
<0214>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{things...: Heb. holy things of David}

1 Kings 7:2

7:2

He built
<01129> (8799)

also the house
<01004>

of the forest
<03293>

of Lebanon
<03844>_;

the length
<0753>

thereof [was] an hundred
<03967>

cubits
<0520>_,

and the breadth
<07341>

thereof fifty
<02572>

cubits
<0520>_,

and the height
<06967>

thereof thirty
<07970>

cubits
<0520>_,

upon four
<0702>

rows
<02905>

of cedar
<0730>

pillars
<05982>_,

with cedar
<0730>

beams
<03773>

upon the pillars
<05982>_.

1 Kings 3:1--5:14

3:1

And Solomon
<08010>

made affinity
<02859> (8691)

with Pharaoh
<06547>

king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

Pharaoh's
<06547>

daughter
<01323>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

her into the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_,

until he had made an end
<03615> (8763)

of building
<01129> (8800)

his own house
<01004>_,

and the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and the wall
<02346>

of Jerusalem
<03389>

round about
<05439>_.

3:2

Only the people
<05971>

sacrificed
<02076> (8764)

in high places
<01116>_,

because there was no house
<01004>

built
<01129> (8738)

unto the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

until those days
<03117>_.

3:3

And Solomon
<08010>

loved
<0157> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_,

walking
<03212> (8800)

in the statutes
<02708>

of David
<01732>

his father
<01>_:

only he sacrificed
<02076> (8764)

and burnt incense
<06999> (8688)

in high places
<01116>_.

3:4

And the king
<04428>

went
<03212> (8799)

to Gibeon
<01391>

to sacrifice
<02076> (8800)

there; for that
<01931>

[was] the great
<01419>

high place
<01116>_:

a thousand
<0505>

burnt offerings
<05930>

did Solomon
<08010>

offer
<05927> (8686)

upon that altar
<04196>_.

3:5

In Gibeon
<01391>

the LORD
<03068>

appeared
<07200> (8738)

to Solomon
<08010>

in a dream
<02472>

by night
<03915>_:

and God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Ask
<07592> (8798)

what I shall give
<05414> (8799)

thee.

3:6

And Solomon
<08010>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou hast shewed
<06213> (8804)

unto thy servant
<05650>

David
<01732>

my father
<01>

great
<01419>

mercy
<02617>_,

according as he walked
<01980> (8804)

before
<06440>

thee in truth
<0571>_,

and in righteousness
<06666>_,

and in uprightness
<03483>

of heart
<03824>

with thee; and thou hast kept
<08104> (8799)

for him this great
<01419>

kindness
<02617>_,

that thou hast given
<05414> (8799)

him a son
<01121>

to sit
<03427> (8802)

on his throne
<03678>_,

as [it is] this day
<03117>_.

{mercy: or, bounty}

3:7

And now, O LORD
<03068>

my God
<0430>_,

thou hast made thy servant
<05650>

king
<04427> (8689)

instead of David
<01732>

my father
<01>_:

and I [am but] a little
<06996>

child
<05288>_:

I know
<03045> (8799)

not [how] to go out
<03318> (8800)

or come in
<0935> (8800)_.

3:8

And thy servant
<05650>

[is] in the midst
<08432>

of thy people
<05971>

which thou hast chosen
<0977> (8804)_,

a great
<07227>

people
<05971>_,

that cannot be numbered
<04487> (8735)

nor counted
<05608> (8735)

for multitude
<07230>_.

3:9

Give
<05414> (8804)

therefore thy servant
<05650>

an understanding
<08085> (8802)

heart
<03820>

to judge
<08199> (8800)

thy people
<05971>_,

that I may discern
<0995> (8687)

between good
<02896>

and bad
<07451>_:

for who is able
<03201> (8799)

to judge
<08199> (8800)

this thy so great
<03515>

a people
<05971>_?

{understanding: Heb. hearing}

3:10

And the speech
<01697>

pleased
<03190> (8799) <05869>

the Lord
<0136>_,

that Solomon
<08010>

had asked
<07592> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_.

3:11

And God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Because thou hast asked
<07592> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_,

and hast not asked
<07592> (8804)

for thyself long
<07227>

life
<03117>_;

neither hast asked
<07592> (8804)

riches
<06239>

for thyself, nor hast asked
<07592> (8804)

the life
<05315>

of thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_;

but hast asked
<07592> (8804)

for thyself understanding
<0995> (8687)

to discern
<08085> (8800)

judgment
<04941>_;

{long life: Heb. many days} {discern: Heb. hear}

3:12

Behold, I have done
<06213> (8804)

according to thy words
<01697>_:

lo, I have given
<05414> (8804)

thee a wise
<02450>

and an understanding
<0995> (8737)

heart
<03820>_;

so that there was none like thee before
<06440>

thee, neither after
<0310>

thee shall any arise
<06965> (8799)

like unto thee.

3:13

And I have also given
<05414> (8804)

thee that which thou hast not asked
<07592> (8804)_,

both riches
<06239>_,

and honour
<03519>_:

so that there shall not be any
<0376>

among the kings
<04428>

like unto thee all thy days
<03117>_.

{shall...: or, hath not been}

3:14

And if thou wilt walk
<03212> (8799)

in my ways
<01870>_,

to keep
<08104> (8800)

my statutes
<02706>

and my commandments
<04687>_,

as thy father
<01>

David
<01732>

did walk
<01980> (8804)_,

then I will lengthen
<0748> (8689)

thy days
<03117>_.

3:15

And Solomon
<08010>

awoke
<03364> (8799)_;

and, behold, [it was] a dream
<02472>_.

And he came
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

before
<06440>

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and offered up
<05927> (8686)

burnt offerings
<05930>_,

and offered
<06213> (8799)

peace offerings
<08002>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

a feast
<04960>

to all his servants
<05650>_.

3:16

Then came
<0935> (8799)

there two
<08147>

women
<0802>_,

[that were] harlots
<02181> (8802)_,

unto the king
<04428>_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

before
<06440>

him.

3:17

And the one
<0259>

woman
<0802>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

O
<0994>

my lord
<0113>_,

I and this woman
<0802>

dwell
<03427> (8802)

in one
<0259>

house
<01004>_;

and I was delivered of a child
<03205> (8799)

with her in the house
<01004>_.

3:18

And it came to pass the third
<07992>

day
<03117>

after that I was delivered
<03205> (8800)_,

that this woman
<0802>

was delivered
<03205> (8799)

also: and we [were] together
<03162>_;

[there was] no stranger
<02114> (8801)

with us in the house
<01004>_,

save
<02108>

we two
<08147>

in the house
<01004>_.

3:19

And this woman's
<0802>

child
<01121>

died
<04191> (8799)

in the night
<03915>_;

because she overlaid
<07901> (8804)

it.

3:20

And she arose
<06965> (8799)

at midnight
<08432> <03915>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

my son
<01121>

from beside
<0681>

me, while thine handmaid
<0519>

slept
<03463>_,

and laid
<07901> (8686)

it in her bosom
<02436>_,

and laid
<07901> (8689)

her dead
<04191> (8801)

child
<01121>

in my bosom
<02436>_.

3:21

And when I rose
<06965> (8799)

in the morning
<01242>

to give my child
<01121>

suck
<03243> (8687)_,

behold, it was dead
<04191> (8804)_:

but when I had considered
<0995> (8709)

it in the morning
<01242>_,

behold, it was not my son
<01121>_,

which I did bear
<03205> (8804)_.

3:22

And the other
<0312>

woman
<0802>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Nay; but the living
<02416>

[is] my son
<01121>_,

and the dead
<04191> (8801)

[is] thy son
<01121>_.

And this said
<0559> (8802)_,

No; but the dead
<04191> (8801)

[is] thy son
<01121>_,

and the living
<02416>

[is] my son
<01121>_.

Thus they spake
<01696> (8762)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_.

3:23

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the king
<04428>_,

The one
<02063>

saith
<0559> (8802)_,

This [is] my son
<01121>

that liveth
<02416>_,

and thy son
<01121>

[is] the dead
<04191> (8801)_:

and the other
<02063>

saith
<0559> (8802)_,

Nay; but thy son
<01121>

[is] the dead
<04191> (8801)_,

and my son
<01121>

[is] the living
<02416>_.

3:24

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Bring
<03947> (8798)

me a sword
<02719>_.

And they brought
<0935> (8686)

a sword
<02719>

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_.

3:25

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Divide
<01504> (8798)

the living
<02416>

child
<03206>

in two
<08147>_,

and give
<05414> (8798)

half
<02677>

to the one
<0259>_,

and half
<02677>

to the other
<0259>_.

3:26

Then spake
<0559> (8799)

the woman
<0802>

whose the living
<02416>

child
<01121>

[was] unto the king
<04428>_,

for her bowels
<07356>

yearned
<03648> (8738)

upon her son
<01121>_,

and she said
<0559> (8799)_,

O
<0994>

my lord
<0113>_,

give
<05414> (8798)

her the living
<02416>

child
<03205> (8803)_,

and in no wise
<04191> (8687)

slay
<04191> (8686)

it. But the other said
<0559> (8802)_,

Let it be neither mine nor thine, [but] divide
<01504> (8798)

[it]. {yearned: Heb. were hot}

3:27

Then the king
<04428>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Give
<05414> (8798)

her the living
<02416>

child
<03205> (8803)_,

and in no wise
<04191> (8687)

slay
<04191> (8686)

it: she [is] the mother
<0517>

thereof.

3:28

And all Israel
<03478>

heard
<08085> (8799)

of the judgment
<04941>

which the king
<04428>

had judged
<08199> (8804)_;

and they feared
<03372> (8799)

the king
<06440>_:

for they saw
<07200> (8804)

that the wisdom
<02451>

of God
<0430>

[was] in him
<07130>_,

to do
<06213> (8800)

judgment
<04941>_.

{in him: Heb. in the midst of him}

4:1

So king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

was king
<04428>

over all Israel

4:7

And Solomon
<08010>

had twelve
<08147> <06240>

<05324> (8737)

over all Israel
<03478>_,

which provided victuals
<03557> (8773)

for the king
<04428>

and his household
<01004>_:

each man
<0259>

<02320>

and [he was] the only

which [was] in the land

4:20

Judah
<03063>

and Israel
<03478>

[were] many
<07227>_,

as the sand
<02344>

which [is] by the sea

in multitude
<07230>_,

eating
<0398> (8802)

and drinking

And Solomon

from the river

over all [the region] on this side

from Tiphsah

and he had peace
<07965>

on all sides
<05650> (8676) <05676>

round about
<05439>

him.

4:25

And Judah
<03063>

and Israel
<03478>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

safely
<0983>_,

every man
<0376>

under his vine
<01612>

and under his fig tree
<08384>_,

from Dan
<01835>

even to Beersheba
<0884>_,

all the days
<03117>

{safely: Heb. confidently}

4:26

And Solomon

<0705>

thousand
<0505>

stalls
<0723>

<05483>

for his chariots
<04817>_,

provided victual
<03557> (8773)

for king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>_,

and for all that came
<07131>

unto king
<04428>

Solomon's
<08010>

table
<07979>_,

every man
<0376>

in his month
<02320>_:

they lacked
<05737> (8762)

nothing
<01697>_.

4:28

Barley
<08184>

also and straw
<08401>

for the horses
<05483>

and dromedaries
<07409>

brought
<0935> (8686)

they unto the place
<04725>

where [the officers] were, every man
<0376>

according to his charge
<04941>_.

{dromedaries: or, mules, or, swift beasts}

4:29

And God
<0430>

gave
<05414> (8799)

Solomon
<08010>

wisdom
<02451>

and understanding
<08394>

exceeding
<03966>

much
<07235> (8687)_,

and largeness
<07341>

of heart
<03820>_,

even as the sand
<02344>

that [is] on the sea
<03220>

shore
<08193>_.

4:30

And Solomon's
<08010>

wisdom
<02451>

excelled
<07235> (8799)

the wisdom
<02451>

of all the children
<01121>

of the east country
<06924>_,

and all the wisdom
<02451>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

4:31

For he was wiser
<02449> (8799)

than all men
<0120>_;

than Ethan
<0387>

the Ezrahite
<0250>_,

and Heman
<01968>_,

and Chalcol
<03633>_,

and Darda
<01862>_,

the sons
<01121>

of Mahol
<04235>_:

and his fame
<08034>

was in all nations
<01471>

round about
<05439>_.

4:32

And he spake
<01696> (8762)

three
<07969>

thousand
<0505>

proverbs
<04912>_:

and his songs
<07892>

were a thousand
<0505>

and five
<02568>_.

4:33

And he spake
<01696> (8762)

of trees
<06086>_,

from the cedar tree
<0730>

that [is] in Lebanon
<03844>

even unto the hyssop
<0231>

that springeth out
<03318> (8802)

of the wall
<07023>_:

he spake
<01696> (8762)

also of beasts
<0929>_,

and of fowl
<05775>_,

and of creeping things
<07431>_,

and of fishes
<01709>_.

4:34

And there came
<0935> (8799)

of all people
<05971>

to hear
<08085> (8800)

the wisdom
<02451>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

from all kings
<04428>

of the earth
<0776>_,

which had heard
<08085> (8804)

of his wisdom
<02451>_.

5:1

And Hiram
<02438>

king
<04428>

of Tyre
<06865>

sent
<07971> (8799)

his servants
<05650>

unto Solomon
<08010>_;

for he had heard
<08085> (8804)

that they had anointed
<04886> (8804)

him king
<04428>

in the room of his father
<01>_:

for Hiram
<02438>

was ever
<03117>

a lover
<0157> (8802)

of David
<01732>_.

{Hiram: also called, Huram}

5:2

And Solomon
<08010>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to Hiram
<02438>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

5:3

Thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

how that David
<01732>

my father
<01>

could
<03201> (8804)

not build
<01129> (8800)

an house
<01004>

unto the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

his God
<0430>

for
<06440>

the wars
<04421>

which were about him on every side
<05437> (8804)_,

until the LORD
<03068>

put
<05414> (8800)

them under the soles
<03709>

of his feet
<07272>_.

5:4

But now the LORD
<03068>

my God
<0430>

hath given me rest
<05117> (8689)

on every side
<05439>_,

[so that there is] neither adversary
<07854>

nor evil
<07451>

occurrent
<06294>_.

5:5

And, behold, I purpose
<0559> (8802)

to build
<01129> (8800)

an house
<01004>

unto the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

my God
<0430>_,

as the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8765)

unto David
<01732>

my father
<01>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thy son
<01121>_,

whom I will set
<05414> (8799)

upon thy throne
<03678>

in thy room, he shall build
<01129> (8799)

an house
<01004>

unto my name
<08034>_.

{purpose: Heb. say}

5:6

Now therefore command
<06680> (8761)

thou that they hew
<03772> (8799)

me cedar trees
<0730>

out of Lebanon
<03844>_;

and my servants
<05650>

shall be with thy servants
<05650>_:

and unto thee will I give
<05414> (8799)

hire
<07939>

for thy servants
<05650>

according to all that thou shalt appoint
<0559> (8799)_:

for thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

that [there is] not among us any
<0376>

that can skill
<03045> (8802)

to hew
<03772> (8800)

timber
<06086>

like unto the Sidonians
<06722>_.

{appoint: Heb. say}

5:7

And it came to pass, when Hiram
<02438>

heard
<08085> (8800)

the words
<01697>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

that he rejoiced
<08055> (8799)

greatly
<03966>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] the LORD
<03068>

this day
<03117>_,

which hath given
<05414> (8804)

unto David
<01732>

a wise
<02450>

son
<01121>

over this great
<07227>

people
<05971>_.

5:8

And Hiram
<02438>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to Solomon
<08010>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

I have considered
<08085> (8804)

the things which thou sentest
<07971> (8804)

to me for: [and] I will do
<06213> (8799)

all thy desire
<02656>

concerning timber
<06086>

of cedar
<0730>_,

and concerning timber
<06086>

of fir
<01265>_.

{considered: Heb. heard}

5:9

My servants
<05650>

shall bring [them] down
<03381> (8686)

from Lebanon
<03844>

unto the sea
<03220>_:

and I will convey
<07760> (8799)

them by sea
<03220>

in floats
<01702>

unto the place
<04725>

that thou shalt appoint
<07971> (8799)

me, and will cause them to be discharged
<05310> (8765)

there, and thou shalt receive
<05375> (8799)

[them]: and thou shalt accomplish
<06213> (8799)

my desire
<02656>_,

in giving
<05414> (8800)

food
<03899>

for my household
<01004>_.

{appoint: Heb. send}

5:10

So Hiram
<02438>

gave
<05414> (8802)

Solomon
<08010>

cedar
<0730>

trees
<06086>

and fir
<01265>

trees
<06086>

[according to] all his desire
<02656>_.

5:11

And Solomon
<08010>

gave
<05414> (8804)

Hiram
<02438>

twenty
<06242>

thousand
<0505>

measures
<03734>

of wheat
<02406>

[for] food
<04361>

to his household
<01004>_,

and twenty
<06242>

measures
<03734>

of pure
<03795>

oil
<08081>_:

thus gave
<05414> (8799)

Solomon
<08010>

to Hiram
<02438>

year
<08141>

by year
<08141>_.

{measures: Heb. cors}

5:12

And the LORD
<03068>

gave
<05414> (8804)

Solomon
<08010>

wisdom
<02451>_,

as he promised
<01696> (8765)

him: and there was peace
<07965>

between Hiram
<02438>

and Solomon
<08010>_;

and they two
<08147> (0)

made
<03772> (8799)

a league
<01285>

together
<08147>_.

5:13

And king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

raised
<05927> (8686)

a levy
<04522>

out of all Israel
<03478>_;

and the levy
<04522>

was thirty
<07970>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>_.

{levy: Heb. tribute of men}

5:14

And he sent
<07971> (8799)

them to Lebanon
<03844>_,

ten
<06235>

thousand
<0505>

a month
<02320>

by courses
<02487>_:

a month
<02320>

they were in Lebanon
<03844>_,

[and] two
<08147>

months
<02320>

at home
<01004>_:

and Adoniram
<0141>

[was] over the levy
<04522>_.
