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

<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)

<04407>_.

9:25

And three
<07969>

and he burnt incense
<06999> (8687)

upon the altar
<04196>

<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

<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
