2 Chronicles 8:1--9:31

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}

8:15

And they departed
<05493> (8804)

not from the commandment
<04687>

of the king
<04428>

unto the priests
<03548>

and Levites
<03881>

concerning any matter
<01697>_,

or concerning the treasures
<0214>_.

8:16

Now all the work
<04399>

of Solomon
<08010>

was prepared
<03559> (8735)

unto the day
<03117>

of the foundation
<04143>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and until it was finished
<03615> (8800)_.

[So] the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

was perfected
<08003>_.

8:17

Then went
<01980> (8804)

Solomon
<08010>

to Eziongeber
<06100>_,

and to Eloth
<0359>_,

at the sea
<03220>

side
<08193>

in the land
<0776>

of Edom
<0123>_.

{Eloth: also called, Elath}

8:18

And Huram
<02361>

sent
<07971> (8799)

him by the hands
<03027>

of his servants
<05650>

ships
<0591> (8675) <0591>_,

and servants
<05650>

that had knowledge
<03045> (8802)

of the sea
<03220>_;

and they went
<0935> (8799)

with the servants
<05650>

of Solomon
<08010>

to Ophir
<0211>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

thence four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

and fifty
<02572>

talents
<03603>

of gold
<02091>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

[them] to king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>_.

9:1

And when the queen
<04436>

of Sheba
<07614>

heard
<08085> (8804)

of the fame
<08088>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

she came
<0935> (8799)

to prove
<05254> (8763)

Solomon
<08010>

with hard questions
<02420>

at Jerusalem
<03389>_,

with a very
<03966>

great
<03515>

company
<02428>_,

and camels
<01581>

that bare
<05375> (8802)

spices
<01314>_,

and gold
<02091>

in abundance
<07230>_,

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>_.

9:2

And Solomon
<08010>

told
<05046> (8686)

her all her questions
<01697>_:

and there was nothing hid
<05956> (8738)

from Solomon
<08010>

which he told
<05046> (8689)

her not.

9:3

And when the queen
<04436>

of Sheba
<07614>

had seen
<07200> (8799)

the wisdom
<02451>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

and the house
<01004>

that he had built
<01129> (8804)_,

9:4

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>_;

his cupbearers
<08248> (8688)

also, and their apparel
<04403>_;

and his ascent
<05944>

by which he went up
<05927> (8799)

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

there was no more spirit
<07307>

in her. {cupbearers: or, butlers}

9:5

And she said
<0559> (8799)

to the king
<04428>_,

[It was] a true
<0571>

report
<01697>

which I heard
<08085> (8804)

in mine own land
<0776>

of thine acts
<01697>_,

and of thy wisdom
<02451>_:

{report: Heb. word} {acts: or, sayings}

9:6

Howbeit I believed
<0539> (8689)

not their words
<01697>_,

until I came
<0935> (8804)_,

and mine eyes
<05869>

had seen
<07200> (8799)

[it]: and, behold, the one half
<02677>

of the greatness
<04768>

of thy wisdom
<02451>

was not told
<05046> (8717)

me: [for] thou exceedest
<03254> (8804)

the fame
<08052>

that I heard
<08085> (8804)_.

9:7

Happy
<0835>

[are] thy men
<0582>_,

and happy
<0835>

[are] these thy servants
<05650>_,

which stand
<05975> (8802)

continually
<08548>

before
<06440>

thee, and hear
<08085> (8802)

thy wisdom
<02451>_.

9:8

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

be the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

which delighted
<02654> (8804)

in thee to set
<05414> (8800)

thee on his throne
<03678>_,

[to be] king
<04428>

for the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_:

because thy God
<0430>

loved
<0160>

Israel
<03478>_,

to establish
<05975> (8687)

them for ever
<05769>_,

therefore made
<05414> (8799)

he thee king
<04428>

over them, to do
<06213> (8800)

judgment
<04941>

and justice
<06666>_.

9:9

And she gave
<05414> (8799)

the king
<04428>

an hundred
<03967>

and twenty
<06242>

talents
<03603>

of gold
<02091>_,

and of spices
<01314>

great
<03966>

abundance
<07230>_,

and precious
<03368>

stones
<068>_:

neither was there any such spice
<01314>

as the queen
<04436>

of Sheba
<07614>

gave
<05414> (8804)

king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>_.

9:10

And the servants
<05650>

also of Huram
<02361>_,

and the servants
<05650>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

which brought
<0935> (8689)

gold
<02091>

from Ophir
<0211>_,

brought
<0935> (8689)

algum
<0418>

trees
<06086>

and precious
<03368>

stones
<068>_.

{algum...: also called, almug trees}

9:11

And the king
<04428>

made
<06213> (8799)

[of] the algum
<0418>

trees
<06086>

terraces
<04546>

to the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and to the king's
<04428>

palace
<01004>_,

and harps
<03658>

and psalteries
<05035>

for singers
<07891> (8802)_:

and there were none such
<01992>

seen
<07200> (8738)

before
<06440>

in the land
<0776>

of Judah
<03063>_.

{terraces: or, stairs: Heb. highways}

9:12

And king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

gave
<05414> (8804)

to the queen
<04436>

of Sheba
<07614>

all her desire
<02656>_,

whatsoever she asked
<07592> (8804)_,

beside [that] which she had brought
<0935> (8689)

unto the king
<04428>_.

So she turned
<02015> (8799)_,

and went away
<03212> (8799)

to her own land
<0776>_,

she and her servants
<05650>_.

9:13

Now the weight
<04948>

of gold
<02091>

that came
<0935> (8804)

to Solomon
<08010>

in one
<0259>

year
<08141>

was six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

and threescore
<08346>

and six
<08337>

talents
<03603>

of gold
<02091>_;

9:14

Beside [that which] chapmen
<0582> <08446> (8802)

and merchants
<05503> (8802)

brought
<0935> (8688)_.

And all the kings
<04428>

of Arabia
<06152>

and governors
<06346>

of the country
<0776>

brought
<0935> (8688)

gold
<02091>

and silver
<03701>

to Solomon
<08010>_.

{governors: or, captains}

9:15

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 beaten
<07820> (8803)

gold
<02091>

went
<05927> (8686)

to one
<0259>

target
<06793>_.

9:16

And three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

shields
<04043>

[made he of] beaten
<07820> (8803)

gold
<02091>_:

three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

[shekels] 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>_.

9:17

Moreover the king
<04428>

made
<06213> (8799)

a great
<01419>

throne
<03678>

of ivory
<08127>_,

and overlaid
<06823> (8762)

it with pure
<02889>

gold
<02091>_.

9:18

And [there were] six
<08337>

steps
<04609>

to the throne
<03678>_,

with a footstool
<03534>

of gold
<02091>_,

[which were] fastened
<0270> (8716)

to the throne
<03678>_,

and stays
<03027>

on each side of the sitting
<03427> (8800)

place
<04725>_,

and two
<08147>

lions
<0738>

standing
<05975> (8802)

by
<0681>

the stays
<03027>_:

{stays: Heb. hands}

9:19

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 made
<06213> (8738)

in any kingdom
<04467>_.

9:20

And all the drinking
<04945>

vessels
<03627>

of king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

[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 [not] any
<03972>

thing accounted
<02803> (8737)

of in the days
<03117>

of Solomon
<08010>_.

{pure: Heb. shut up} {none were of silver: or, there was no silver in them}

9:21

For the king's
<04428>

ships
<0591>

went
<01980> (8802)

to Tarshish
<08659>

with the servants
<05650>

of Huram
<02361>_:

every three
<07969>

years
<08141>

once
<0259>

came
<0935> (8799)

the ships
<0591>

of Tarshish
<08659>

bringing
<05375> (8802)

gold
<02091>_,

and silver
<03701>_,

ivory
<08143>_,

and apes
<06971>_,

and peacocks
<08500>_.

{ivory: or, elephants' teeth}

9:22

And king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

passed
<01431> (8799)

all the kings
<04428>

of the earth
<0776>

in riches
<06239>

and wisdom
<02451>_.

9:23

And all the kings
<04428>

of the earth
<0776>

sought
<01245> (8764)

the presence
<06440>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

to hear
<08085> (8800)

his wisdom
<02451>_,

that God
<0430>

had put
<05414> (8804)

in his heart
<03820>_.

9:24

And they brought
<0935> (8688)

every man
<0376>

his present
<04503>_,

vessels
<03627>

of silver
<03701>_,
