1 Kings 6:1--7:51

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}
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>_.
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>_.
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}
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}
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}
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)_.
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}
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}
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>_.
And the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came to Solomon
<08010>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
[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>_:
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>_.
So Solomon
<08010>
built
<01129> (8799)
the house
<01004>_,
and finished
<03615> (8762)
it.
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}
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].
And the house
<01004>_,
that [is], the temple
<01964>
before
<03942>
it, was forty
<0705>
cubits
<0520>
[long].
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}
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>_.
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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}
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>_.
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>_.
The height
<06967>
of the one
<0259>
cherub
<03742>
[was] ten
<06235>
cubits
<0520>_,
and so [was it] of the other
<08145>
cherub
<03742>_.
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}
And he overlaid
<06823> (8762)
the cherubims
<03742>
with gold
<02091>_.
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}
And the floor
<07172>
of the house
<01004>
he overlaid
<06823> (8765)
with gold
<02091>_,
within
<06441>
and without
<02435>_.
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}
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}
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}
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>_.
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)_.
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>_.
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>_:
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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}
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}
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}
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}
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
And above
<04605>
[were] costly
<03368>
stones
<068>_,
after the measures
<04060>
of hewed stones
<01496>_,
and cedars
<0730>_.
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>_.
And king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>
sent
<07971> (8799)
and fetched
<03947> (8799)
Hiram
<02438>
out of Tyre
<06865>_.
{Hiram: also called, Huram}
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}
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}
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>_:
[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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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}
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)_.
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}
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)_.
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>_.
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>_.
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.
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>_:
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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}
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)_.
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.
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.
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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}
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}
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>_;
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}
And the ten
<06235>
bases
<04350>_,
and ten
<06235>
lavers
<03595>
on the bases
<04350>_;
And one
<0259>
sea
<03220>_,
and twelve
<08147> <06240>
oxen
<01241>
under the sea
<03220>_;
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}
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}
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}
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],
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>_,
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}
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

1 Kings 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

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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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.
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}
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)_.
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>_.
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}
And the speech
<01697>
pleased
<03190> (8799) <05869>
the Lord
<0136>_,
that Solomon
<08010>
had asked
<07592> (8804)
this thing
<01697>_.
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}
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.
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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.
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>_.
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>_.
And this woman's
<0802>
child
<01121>
died
<04191> (8799)
in the night
<03915>_;
because she overlaid
<07901> (8804)
it.
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>_.
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)_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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}
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.
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}
So king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>
was king
<04428>
over all Israel
<03478>_.

which provided victuals

<01366>
of Egypt
<04714>_:
they brought
<05066> (8688)
presents
<04503>_,
and served
<05647> (8802)
Solomon
<08010>
all the days
<03117>
of his life
<02416>_.
And Solomon's
<08010>
provision
<03899>
for one
<0259>
day
<03117>
was thirty
<07970>
measures
<03734>
of fine flour
<05560>_,
and threescore
<08346>
measures
<03734>
of meal
<07058>_,
{provision: Heb. bread} {measures: Heb. cors}
Ten
<06235>
fat
<01277>
oxen
<01241>_,
and twenty
<06242>
oxen
<01241>
out of the pastures
<07471>_,
and an hundred
<03967>
sheep
<06629>_,
beside harts
<0354>_,
and roebucks
<06643>_,
and fallowdeer
<03180>_,
and fatted
<075> (8803)
fowl
<01257>_.
For he had dominion
<07287> (8802)
over all [the region] on this side
<05676>
the river
<05104>_,
from Tiphsah
<08607>
even to Azzah
<05804>_,
over all the kings
<04428>
on this side
<05676>
the river
<05104>_:
and he had peace
<07965>
on all sides
<05650> (8676) <05676>
round about
<05439>
him.
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>
of Solomon
<08010>_.
{safely: Heb. confidently}
And Solomon
<08010>
had forty
<0705>
thousand
<0505>
stalls
<0723>
of horses
<05483>
for his chariots
<04817>_,
and twelve
<08147> <06240>
thousand
<0505>
horsemen
<06571>_.
And those officers
<05324> (8737)
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>_.
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
And he spake
<01696> (8762)
three
<07969>
thousand
<0505>
proverbs
<04912>_:
and his songs
<07892>
were a thousand
<0505>
and five
<02568>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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}
And Solomon
<08010>
sent
<07971> (8799)
to Hiram
<02438>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
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>_.
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>_.
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}
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}
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>_.
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}
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}
So Hiram
<02438>
gave
<05414> (8802)
Solomon
<08010>
cedar
<0730>
trees
<06086>
and fir
<01265>
trees
<06086>
[according to] all his desire
<02656>_.
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}
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>_.
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}
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>_.
