1 Kings 9:1--11:13

And it came to pass, when Solomon
<08010>
had finished
<03615> (8763)
the building
<01129> (8800)
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
and all Solomon's
<08010>
desire
<02837>
which he was pleased
<02654> (8804)
to do
<06213> (8800)_,
That the LORD
<03068>
appeared
<07200> (8735)
to Solomon
<08010>
the second time
<08145>_,
as he had appeared
<07200> (8738)
unto him at Gibeon
<01391>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, I have heard
<08085> (8804)
thy prayer
<08605>
and thy supplication
<08467>_,
that thou hast made
<02603> (8694)
before
<06440>
me: I have hallowed
<06942> (8689)
this house
<01004>_,
which thou hast built
<01129> (8804)_,
to put
<07760> (8800)
my name
<08034>
there for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_;
and mine eyes
<05869>
and mine heart
<03820>
shall be there perpetually
<03117>_.
And if thou wilt walk
<03212> (8799)
before
<06440>
me, as David
<01732>
thy father
<01>
walked
<01980> (8804)_,
in integrity
<08537>
of heart
<03824>_,
and in uprightness
<03476>_,
to do
<06213> (8800)
according to all that I have commanded
<06680> (8765)
thee, [and] wilt keep
<08104> (8799)
my statutes
<02706>
and my judgments
<04941>_:
Then I will establish
<06965> (8689)
the throne
<03678>
of thy kingdom
<04467>
upon Israel
<03478>
for ever
<05769>_,
as I promised
<01696> (8765)
to David
<01732>
thy father
<01>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
There shall not fail
<03772> (8735)
thee a man
<0376>
upon the throne
<03678>
of Israel
<03478>_.
[But] if ye shall at all
<07725> (8800)
turn
<07725> (8799)
from following
<0310>
me, ye or your children
<01121>_,
and will not keep
<08104> (8799)
my commandments
<04687>
[and] my statutes
<02708>
which I have set
<05414> (8804)
before
<06440>
you, but go
<01980> (8804)
and serve
<05647> (8804)
other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_,
and worship
<07812> (8694)
them:
Then will I cut off
<03772> (8689)
Israel
<03478>
out
<06440>
of the land
<0127>
which I have given
<05414> (8804)
them; and this house
<01004>_,
which I have hallowed
<06942> (8689)
for my name
<08034>_,
will I cast out
<07971> (8762)
of my sight
<06440>_;
and Israel
<03478>
shall be a proverb
<04912>
and a byword
<08148>
among all people
<05971>_:
And at this house
<01004>_,
[which] is high
<05945>_,
every one that passeth
<05674> (8802)
by it shall be astonished
<08074> (8799)_,
and shall hiss
<08319> (8804)_;
and they shall say
<0559> (8804)_,
Why hath the LORD
<03068>
done
<06213> (8804)
thus unto this land
<0776>_,
and to this house
<01004>_?
And they shall answer
<0559> (8804)_,
Because they forsook
<05800> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
their God
<0430>_,
who brought forth
<03318> (8689)
their fathers
<01>
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and have taken hold
<02388> (8686)
upon other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_,
and have worshipped
<07812> (8691)
them, and served
<05647> (8799)
them: therefore hath the LORD
<03068>
brought
<0935> (8689)
upon them all this evil
<07451>_.
And it came to pass at the end
<07097>
of twenty
<06242>
years
<08141>_,
when Solomon
<08010>
had built
<01129> (8804)
the two
<08147>
houses
<01004>_,
the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
([Now] Hiram
<02438>
the king
<04428>
of Tyre
<06865>
had furnished
<05375> (8765)
Solomon
<08010>
with cedar
<0730>
trees
<06086>
and fir
<01265>
trees
<06086>_,
and with gold
<02091>_,
according to all his desire
<02656>,)
that then
<0227>
king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>
gave
<05414> (8799)
Hiram
<02438>
twenty
<06242>
cities
<05892>
in the land
<0776>
of Galilee
<01551>_.
And Hiram
<02438>
came out
<03318> (8799)
from Tyre
<06865>
to see
<07200> (8800)
the cities
<05892>
which Solomon
<08010>
had given
<05414> (8804)
him; and they pleased
<03474> (8804) <05869>
him not. {pleased...: Heb. were not right in his eyes}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
What cities
<05892>
[are] these which thou hast given
<05414> (8804)
me, my brother
<0251>_?
And he called
<07121> (8799)
them the land
<0776>
of Cabul
<03521>
unto this day
<03117>_.
{Cabul: that is, displeasing, or, dirty}
And Hiram
<02438>
sent
<07971> (8799)
to the king
<04428>
sixscore
<03967> <06242>
talents
<03603>
of gold
<02091>_.
And this [is] the reason
<01697>
of the levy
<04522>
which king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>
raised
<05927> (8689)_;
for to build
<01129> (8800)
the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and his own house
<01004>_,
and Millo
<04407>_,
and the wall
<02346>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and Hazor
<02674>_,
and Megiddo
<04023>_,
and Gezer
<01507>_.
[For] Pharaoh
<06547>
king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>
had gone up
<05927> (8804)_,
and taken
<03920> (8799)
Gezer
<01507>_,
and burnt
<08313> (8799)
it with fire
<0784>_,
and slain
<02026> (8804)
the Canaanites
<03669>
that dwelt
<03427> (8802)
in the city
<05892>_,
and given
<05414> (8799)
it [for] a present
<07964>
unto his daughter
<01323>_,
Solomon's
<08010>
wife
<0802>_.
And Solomon
<08010>
built
<01129> (8799)
Gezer
<01507>_,
and Bethhoron
<01032>
the nether
<08481>_,
And Baalath
<01191>_,
and Tadmor
<08412>
in the wilderness
<04057>_,
in the land
<0776>_,
And all the cities
<05892>
of store
<04543>
that Solomon
<08010>
had, and cities
<05892>
for his chariots
<07393>_,
and cities
<05892>
for his horsemen
<06571>_,
and that
<02837>
which Solomon
<08010>
desired
<02836> (8804)
to build
<01129> (8800)
in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and in Lebanon
<03844>_,
and in all the land
<0776>
of his dominion
<04475>_.
{that which...: Heb. the desire of Solomon which he desired}
[And] all the people
<05971>
[that were] left
<03498> (8737)
of the Amorites
<0567>_,
Hittites
<02850>_,
Perizzites
<06522>_,
Hivites
<02340>_,
and Jebusites
<02983>_,
which [were] not of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Their children
<01121>
that were left
<03498> (8738)
after
<0310>
them in the land
<0776>_,
whom the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
also were not able
<03201> (8804)
utterly to destroy
<02763> (8687)_,
upon those did Solomon
<08010>
levy
<05927> (8686)
a tribute
<04522>
of bondservice
<05647> (8802)
unto this day
<03117>_.
But of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
did Solomon
<08010>
make
<05414> (8804)
no bondmen
<05650>_:
but they [were] men
<0582>
of war
<04421>_,
and his servants
<05650>_,
and his princes
<08269>_,
and his captains
<07991>_,
and rulers
<08269>
of his chariots
<07393>_,
and his horsemen
<06571>_.
These [were] the chief
<08269>
of the officers
<05324> (8737)
that [were] over Solomon's
<08010>
work
<04399>_,
five
<02568>
hundred
<03967>
and fifty
<02572>_,
which bare rule
<07287> (8802)
over the people
<05971>
that wrought
<06213> (8804)
in the work
<04399>_.
But Pharaoh's
<06547>
daughter
<01323>
came up
<05927> (8804)
out of the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>
unto her house
<01004>
which [Solomon] had built
<01129> (8804)
for her: then did he build
<01129> (8804)
Millo
<04407>_.
And three
<07969>
times
<06471>
in a year
<08141>
did Solomon
<08010>
offer
<05927> (8689)
burnt offerings
<05930>
and peace offerings
<08002>
upon the altar
<04196>
which he built
<01129> (8804)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and he burnt incense
<06999> (8687)
upon the altar
<04196>
that [was] before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_.
So he finished
<07999> (8765)
the house
<01004>_.
{upon the altar that: Heb. upon it, etc}
And king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>
made
<06213> (8804)
a navy of ships
<0590>
in Eziongeber
<06100>_,
which [is] beside Eloth
<0359>_,
on the shore
<08193>
of the Red
<05488>
sea
<03220>_,
in the land
<0776>
of Edom
<0123>_.
{shore: Heb. lip}
And Hiram
<02438>
sent
<07971> (8799)
in the navy
<0590>
his servants
<05650>_,
shipmen
<0582> <0591>
that had knowledge
<03045> (8802)
of the sea
<03220>_,
with the servants
<05650>
of Solomon
<08010>_.
And they came
<0935> (8799)
to Ophir
<0211>_,
and fetched
<03947> (8799)
from thence gold
<02091>_,
four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>
and twenty
<06242>
talents
<03603>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
[it] to king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>_.
And when the queen
<04436>
of Sheba
<07614>
heard
<08085> (8802)
of the fame
<08088>
of Solomon
<08010>
concerning the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
she came
<0935> (8799)
to prove
<05254> (8763)
him with hard questions
<02420>_.
And she came
<0935> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>
with a very
<03966>
great
<03515>
train
<02428>_,
with camels
<01581>
that bare
<05375> (8802)
spices
<01314>_,
and very
<03966>
much
<07227>
gold
<02091>_,
and precious
<03368>
stones
<068>_:
and when she was come
<0935> (8799)
to Solomon
<08010>_,
she communed
<01696> (8762)
with him of all that was in her heart
<03824>_.
And Solomon
<08010>
told
<05046> (8686)
her all her questions
<01697>_:
there was not [any] thing
<01697>
hid
<05956> (8737)
from the king
<04428>_,
which he told
<05046> (8689)
her not. {questions: Heb. words}
And when the queen
<04436>
of Sheba
<07614>
had seen
<07200> (8799)
all Solomon's
<08010>
wisdom
<02451>_,
and the house
<01004>
that he had built
<01129> (8804)_,
And the meat
<03978>
of his table
<07979>_,
and the sitting
<04186>
of his servants
<05650>_,
and the attendance
<04612>
of his ministers
<08334> (8764)_,
and their apparel
<04403>_,
and his cupbearers
<08248> (8688)_,
and his ascent
<05930>
by which he went up
<05927> (8799)
unto the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
there was no more spirit
<07307>
in her. {attendance: Heb. standing} {cupbearers: or, butlers}
And she said
<0559> (8799)
to the king
<04428>_,
It was a true
<0571>
report
<01697>
that I heard
<08085> (8804)
in mine own land
<0776>
of thy acts
<01697>
and of thy wisdom
<02451>_.
{report: Heb. word} {acts: or, sayings}
Howbeit I believed
<0539> (8689)
not the words
<01697>_,
until I came
<0935> (8804)_,
and mine eyes
<05869>
had seen
<07200> (8799)
[it]: and, behold, the half
<02677>
was not told
<05046> (8717)
me: thy wisdom
<02451>
and prosperity
<02896>
exceedeth
<03254> (8689)
the fame
<08052>
which I heard
<08085> (8804)_.
{thy...: Heb. thou hast added wisdom and goodness to}
Happy
<0835>
[are] thy men
<0582>_,
happy
<0835>
[are] these thy servants
<05650>_,
which stand
<05975> (8802)
continually
<08548>
before
<06440>
thee, [and] that hear
<08085> (8802)
thy wisdom
<02451>_.
Blessed
<01288> (8803)
be the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_,
which delighted
<02654> (8804)
in thee, to set
<05414> (8800)
thee on the throne
<03678>
of Israel
<03478>_:
because the LORD
<03068>
loved
<0160>
Israel
<03478>
for ever
<05769>_,
therefore made
<07760> (8799)
he thee king
<04428>_,
to do
<06213> (8800)
judgment
<04941>
and justice
<06666>_.
And she gave
<05414> (8799)
the king
<04428>
an hundred
<03967>
and twenty
<06242>
talents
<03603>
of gold
<02091>_,
and of spices
<01314>
very
<03966>
great store
<07235> (8687)_,
and precious
<03368>
stones
<068>_:
there came
<0935> (8804)
no more such
<01931>
abundance
<07230>
of spices
<01314>
as these which the queen
<04436>
of Sheba
<07614>
gave
<05414> (8804)
to king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>_.
And the navy
<0590>
also of Hiram
<02438>_,
that brought
<05375> (8804)
gold
<02091>
from Ophir
<0211>_,
brought in
<0935> (8689)
from Ophir
<0211>
great
<03966>
plenty
<07235> (8687)
of almug
<0484>
trees
<06086>_,
and precious
<03368>
stones
<068>_.
{almug...: also called, algum trees}
And the king
<04428>
made
<06213> (8799)
of the almug
<0484>
trees
<06086>
pillars
<04552>
for the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and for the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
harps
<03658>
also and psalteries
<05035>
for singers
<07891> (8802)_:
there came
<0935> (8804)
no such almug
<0484>
trees
<06086>_,
nor were seen
<07200> (8738)
unto this day
<03117>_.
{pillars: or, rails: Heb. a prop}
And king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>
gave
<05414> (8804)
unto the queen
<04436>
of Sheba
<07614>
all her desire
<02656>_,
whatsoever she asked
<07592> (8804)_,
beside [that] which Solomon
<08010>
gave
<05414> (8804)
her of his royal
<04428>
bounty
<03027>_.
So she turned
<06437> (8799)
and went
<03212> (8799)
to her own country
<0776>_,
she and her servants
<05650>_.
{of his...: Heb. according to the hand of king Solomon}
Now the weight
<04948>
of gold
<02091>
that came
<0935> (8804)
to Solomon
<08010>
in one
<0259>
year
<08141>
was six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>
threescore
<08346>
and six
<08337>
talents
<03603>
of gold
<02091>_,
Beside [that he had] of the merchantmen
<0582> <08446> (8802)_,
and of the traffick
<04536>
of the spice merchants
<07402> (8802)_,
and of all the kings
<04428>
of Arabia
<06153>_,
and of the governors
<06346>
of the country
<0776>_.
{governors: or, captains}
And king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>
made
<06213> (8799)
two hundred
<03967>
targets
<06793>
[of] beaten
<07820> (8803)
gold
<02091>_:
six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>
[shekels] of gold
<02091>
went
<05927> (8686)
to one
<0259>
target
<06793>_.
And [he made] three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
shields
<04043>
[of] beaten
<07820> (8803)
gold
<02091>_;
three
<07969>
pound
<04488>
of gold
<02091>
went
<05927> (8686)
to one
<0259>
shield
<04043>_:
and the king
<04428>
put
<05414> (8799)
them in the house
<01004>
of the forest
<03293>
of Lebanon
<03844>_.
Moreover the king
<04428>
made
<06213> (8799)
a great
<01419>
throne
<03678>
of ivory
<08127>_,
and overlaid
<06823> (8762)
it with the best
<06338> (8716)
gold
<02091>_.
The throne
<03678>
had six
<08337>
steps
<04609>_,
and the top
<07218>
of the throne
<03678>
[was] round
<05696>
behind
<0310>_:
and [there were] stays
<03027>
on either side on the place
<04725>
of the seat
<07675> (8800)_,
and two
<08147>
lions
<0738>
stood
<05975> (8802)
beside
<0681>
the stays
<03027>_.
{behind: Heb. on the hinder part thereof} {stays: Heb. hands}
And twelve
<08147> <06240>
lions
<0738>
stood
<05975> (8802)
there on the one side and on the other upon the six
<08337>
steps
<04609>_:
there was not the like
<03651>
made
<06213> (8738)
in any kingdom
<04467>_.
{the like: Heb. so}
And all king
<04428>
Solomon's
<08010>
drinking
<04945>
vessels
<03627>
[were of] gold
<02091>_,
and all the vessels
<03627>
of the house
<01004>
of the forest
<03293>
of Lebanon
<03844>
[were of] pure
<05462> (8803)
gold
<02091>_;
none [were of] silver
<03701>_:
it was nothing
<03972>
accounted
<02803> (8737)
of in the days
<03117>
of Solomon
<08010>_.
{none...: or, there was no silver in them}
For the king
<04428>
had at sea
<03220>
a navy
<0590>
of Tharshish
<08659>
with the navy
<0590>
of Hiram
<02438>_:
once
<0259>
in three
<07969>
years
<08141>
came
<0935> (8799)
the navy
<0590>
of Tharshish
<08659>_,
bringing
<05375> (8802)
gold
<02091>_,
and silver
<03701>_,
ivory
<08143>_,
and apes
<06971>_,
and peacocks
<08500>_.
{ivory: or, elephants' teeth}
So king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>
exceeded
<01431> (8799)
all the kings
<04428>
of the earth
<0776>
for riches
<06239>
and for wisdom
<02451>_.
And all the earth
<0776>
sought
<01245> (8764)
to
<06440>
Solomon
<08010>_,
to hear
<08085> (8800)
his wisdom
<02451>_,
which God
<0430>
had put
<05414> (8804)
in his heart
<03820>_.
{sought to: Heb. sought the face of}
And they brought
<0935> (8688)
every man
<0376>
his present
<04503>_,
vessels
<03627>
of silver
<03701>_,
and vessels
<03627>
of gold
<02091>_,
and garments
<08008>_,
and armour
<05402>_,
and spices
<01314>_,
horses
<05483>_,
and mules
<06505>_,
a rate
<01697>
year
<08141>
by year
<08141>_.
And Solomon
<08010>
gathered together
<0622> (8799)
chariots
<07393>
and horsemen
<06571>_:
and he had a thousand
<0505>
and four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>
chariots
<07393>_,
and twelve
<08147> <06240>
thousand
<0505>
horsemen
<06571>_,
whom he bestowed
<05148> (8686)
in the cities
<05892>
for chariots
<07393>_,
and with the king
<04428>
at Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And the king
<04428>
made
<05414> (8799)
silver
<03701>
[to be] in Jerusalem
<03389>
as stones
<068>_,
and cedars
<0730>
made
<05414> (8804)
he [to be] as the sycomore trees
<08256>
that [are] in the vale
<08219>_,
for abundance
<07230>_.
{made: Heb. gave}
And Solomon
<08010>
had horses
<05483>
brought
<04161>
out of Egypt
<04714>_,
and linen yarn
<04723>_:
the king's
<04428>
merchants
<05503> (8802)
received
<03947> (8799)
the linen yarn
<04723>
at a price
<04242>_.
{And Solomon...: Heb. And the going forth of the horses which was Solomon's}
And a chariot
<04818>
came up
<05927> (8799)
and went out
<03318> (8799)
of Egypt
<04714>
for six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>
[shekels] of silver
<03701>_,
and an horse
<05483>
for an hundred
<03967>
and fifty
<02572>_:
and so for all the kings
<04428>
of the Hittites
<02850>_,
and for the kings
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>_,
did they bring [them] out
<03318> (8686)
by their means
<03027>_.
{by their...: Heb. by their hand}
But king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>
loved
<0157> (8804)
many
<07227>
strange
<05237>
women
<0802>_,
together with the daughter
<01323>
of Pharaoh
<06547>_,
women of the Moabites
<04125>_,
Ammonites
<05984>_,
Edomites
<0130>_,
Zidonians
<06722>_,
[and] Hittites
<02850>_;
{together...: or, beside}
Of the nations
<01471>
[concerning] which the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Ye shall not go in
<0935> (8799)
to them, neither shall they come in
<0935> (8799)
unto you: [for] surely
<0403>
they will turn away
<05186> (8686)
your heart
<03824>
after
<0310>
their gods
<0430>_:
Solomon
<08010>
clave
<01692> (8804)
unto these in love
<0157> (8800)_.
And he had seven
<07651>
hundred
<03967>
wives
<0802>_,
princesses
<08282>_,
and three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
concubines
<06370>_:
and his wives
<0802>
turned away
<05186> (8686)
his heart
<03820>_.
For it came to pass, when
<06256>
Solomon
<08010>
was old
<02209>_,
[that] his wives
<0802>
turned away
<05186> (8689)
his heart
<03824>
after
<0310>
other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_:
and his heart
<03824>
was not perfect
<08003>
with the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>_,
as [was] the heart
<03824>
of David
<01732>
his father
<01>_.
For Solomon
<08010>
went
<03212> (8799)
after
<0310>
Ashtoreth
<06253>
the goddess
<0430>
of the Zidonians
<06722>_,
and after
<0310>
Milcom
<04445>
the abomination
<08251>
of the Ammonites
<05984>_.
{Milcom: also called, Molech}
And Solomon
<08010>
did
<06213> (8799)
evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and went not fully
<04390> (8765)
after
<0310>
the LORD
<03068>_,
as [did] David
<01732>
his father
<01>_.
{went...: Heb. fulfilled not after}
Then did Solomon
<08010>
build
<01129> (8799)
an high place
<01116>
for Chemosh
<03645>_,
the abomination
<08251>
of Moab
<04124>_,
in the hill
<02022>
that [is] before
<06440>
Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and for Molech
<04432>_,
the abomination
<08251>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_.
And likewise did
<06213> (8804)
he for all his strange
<05237>
wives
<0802>_,
which burnt incense
<06999> (8688)
and sacrificed
<02076> (8764)
unto their gods
<0430>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
was angry
<0599> (8691)
with Solomon
<08010>_,
because his heart
<03824>
was turned
<05186> (8804)
from the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
which had appeared
<07200> (8738)
unto him twice
<06471>_,
And had commanded
<06680> (8765)
him concerning this thing
<01697>_,
that he should not go
<03212> (8800)
after
<0310>
other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_:
but he kept
<08104> (8804)
not that which the LORD
<03068>
commanded
<06680> (8765)_.
Wherefore the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Solomon
<08010>_,
Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept
<08104> (8804)
my covenant
<01285>
and my statutes
<02708>_,
which I have commanded
<06680> (8765)
thee, I will surely
<07167> (8800)
rend
<07167> (8799)
the kingdom
<04467>
from thee, and will give
<05414> (8804)
it to thy servant
<05650>_.
{is done...: Heb. is with thee}
Notwithstanding in thy days
<03117>
I will not do
<06213> (8799)
it for David
<01732>
thy father's
<01>
sake: [but] I will rend
<07167> (8799)
it out of the hand
<03027>
of thy son
<01121>_.
Howbeit
<07535>
I will not rend away
<07167> (8799)
all the kingdom
<04467>_;
[but] will give
<05414> (8799)
one
<0259>
tribe
<07626>
to thy son
<01121>
for David
<01732>
my servant's
<05650>
sake, and for Jerusalem's
<03389>
sake which I have chosen
<0977> (8804)_.
