1 Kings 9:1-16

9:1

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)_,

9:2

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>_.

9:3

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>_.

9:4

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>_:

9:5

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>_.

9:6

[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:

9:7

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>_:

9:8

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>_?

9:9

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>_.

9:10

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>_,

9:11

([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>_.

9:12

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}

9:13

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}

9:14

And Hiram
<02438>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to the king
<04428>

sixscore
<03967> <06242>

talents
<03603>

of gold
<02091>_.

9:15

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>_.

9:16

[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>_.
