8:1

And it came to pass at the end
<07093>

of twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>_,

wherein Solomon
<08010>

had built
<01129> (8804)

the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and his own house
<01004>_,

8:2

That the cities
<05892>

which Huram
<02361>

had restored
<05414> (8804)

to Solomon
<08010>_,

Solomon
<08010>

built
<01129> (8804)

them, and caused the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

to dwell
<03427> (8686)

there.

8:3

And Solomon
<08010>

went
<03212> (8799)

to Hamathzobah
<02578>_,

and prevailed
<02388> (8799)

against it.

8:4

And he built
<01129> (8799)

Tadmor
<08412>

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

and all the store
<04543>

cities
<05892>_,

which he built
<01129> (8804)

in Hamath
<02574>_.

8:5

Also he built
<01129> (8799)

Bethhoron
<01032>

the upper
<05945>_,

and Bethhoron
<01032>

the nether
<08481>_,

fenced
<04692>

cities
<05892>_,

with walls
<02346>_,

gates
<01817>_,

and bars
<01280>_;

8:6

And Baalath
<01191>_,

and all the store
<04543>

cities
<05892>

that Solomon
<08010>

had, and all the chariot
<07393>

cities
<05892>_,

and the cities
<05892>

of the horsemen
<06571>_,

and all that Solomon
<08010>

desired
<02836> (8804) <02837>

to build
<01129> (8800)

in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and in Lebanon
<03844>_,

and throughout all the land
<0776>

of his dominion
<04475>_.

{all that...: Heb. all the desire of Solomon which he desired to build}

8:7

[As for] all the people
<05971>

[that were] left
<03498> (8737)

of the Hittites
<02850>_,

and the Amorites
<0567>_,

and the Perizzites
<06522>_,

and the Hivites
<02340>_,

and the Jebusites
<02983>_,

which [were] not of Israel
<03478>_,

8:8

[But] of their children
<01121>_,

who were left
<03498> (8738)

after
<0310>

them in the land
<0776>_,

whom the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

consumed
<03615> (8765)

not, them did Solomon
<08010>

make to pay
<05927> (8686)

tribute
<04522>

until this day
<03117>_.

8:9

But of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

did Solomon
<08010>

make
<05414> (8804)

no servants
<05650>

for his work
<04399>_;

but they [were] men
<0582>

of war
<04421>_,

and chief
<08269>

of his captains
<07991>_,

and captains
<08269>

of his chariots
<07393>

and horsemen
<06571>_.

8:10

And these [were] the chief
<08269>

of king
<04428>

Solomon's
<08010>

officers
<05324> (8737) (8675) <05333>_,

[even] two hundred
<03967>

and fifty
<02572>_,

that bare rule
<07287> (8802)

over the people
<05971>_.

8:11

And Solomon
<08010>

brought up
<05927> (8689)

the daughter
<01323>

of Pharaoh
<06547>

out of the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>

unto the house
<01004>

that he had built
<01129> (8804)

for her: for he said
<0559> (8804)_,

My wife
<0802>

shall not dwell
<03427> (8799)

in the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

because [the places are] holy
<06944>_,

whereunto the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>

hath come
<0935> (8804)_.

{holy: Heb. holiness}

8:12

Then Solomon
<08010>

offered
<05927> (8689)

burnt offerings
<05930>

unto the LORD
<03068>

on the altar
<04196>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which he had built
<01129> (8804)

before
<06440>

the porch
<0197>_,

8:13

Even after a certain rate
<01697>

every day
<03117>_,

offering
<05927> (8687)

according to the commandment
<04687>

of Moses
<04872>_,

on the sabbaths
<07676>_,

and on the new moons
<02320>_,

and on the solemn feasts
<04150>_,

three
<07969>

times
<06471>

in the year
<08141>_,

[even] in the feast
<02282>

of unleavened bread
<04682>_,

and in the feast
<02282>

of weeks
<07620>_,

and in the feast
<02282>

of tabernacles
<05521>_.

8:14

And he appointed
<05975> (8686)_,

according to the order
<04941>

of David
<01732>

his father
<01>_,

the courses
<04256>

of the priests
<03548>

to their service
<05656>_,

and the Levites
<03881>

to their charges
<04931>_,

to praise
<01984> (8763)

and minister
<08334> (8763)

before the priests
<03548>_,

as the duty
<01697>

of every day
<03117>

required
<03117>_:

the porters
<07778>

also by their courses
<04256>

at every gate
<08179>_:

for so had David
<01732>

the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

commanded
<04687>_.

{so had David...: Heb. so was the commandment of David the man of God}
