And it came to pass, when Solomonhad finishedthe buildingof the houseof the LORD, and the king's house, and allSolomon's desirewhichhe was pleasedto do, That the LORDappearedtoSolomonthe second time, ashe had appeareduntohim at Gibeon. And the LORDsaiduntohim, I have heardthy prayerand thy supplication, thatthou hast madebeforeme: I have hallowedthishouse, whichthou hast built, to putmy namethereforever; and mine eyesand mine heartshall bethereperpetually. And ifthouwilt walkbeforeme, asDavidthy fatherwalked, in integrityof heart, and in uprightness, to doaccording to allthatI have commandedthee, and wilt keepmy statutesand my judgments: Then I will establishthe throneof thy kingdomuponIsraelforever, asI promisedtoDavidthy father, saying, There shall notfailthee a manuponthe throneof Israel. But ifye shall at all turnfrom followingme, yeor your children, and will notkeepmy commandments and my statuteswhichI have setbeforeyou, but goand serveothergods, and worshipthem: Then will I cut offIsraelout ofthe landwhichI have giventhem; and this house, whichI have hallowedfor my name, will I castout ofmy sight; and Israelshall bea proverband a bywordamong allpeople: And at thishouse, which ishigh, every onethat passethbyit shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Whyhath the LORDdonethusunto thisland, and to thishouse? And they shall answer, Becausethey forsookthe LORDtheir God, whobrought forththeir fathersout of the landof Egypt, and have taken holdupon othergods, and have worshipedthem, and servedthem: thereforehath the LORDbroughtuponthem allthisevil. And it came to passat the endof twentyyears, whenSolomonhad builtthe twohouses, the houseof the LORD, and the king's house, ( Now Hiramthe kingof Tyrehad furnishedSolomonwith cedartreesand firtrees, and with gold, according to allhis desire,) that thenkingSolomongaveHiramtwentycitiesin the landof Galilee. And Hiramcame outfrom Tyreto seethe citieswhichSolomonhad givenhim; and they pleasedhim not. And he said, Whatcities are thesewhichthou hast givenme, my brother? And he calledthem the landof Cabuluntothisday. And Hiramsentto the kingsixscoretalentsof gold. And this is the reasonof the levywhichkingSolomonraised; for to buildthe houseof the LORD, and his own house, and Millo, and the wallof Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer. For Pharaohkingof Egypthad gone up, and takenGezer, and burntit with fire, and slainthe Canaanitesthat dweltin the city, and givenit for a presentunto his daughter, Solomon's wife. And SolomonbuiltGezer, and Beth-horon the nether, And Baalath, and Tadmorin the wilderness, in the land, And allthe citiesof storethatSolomonhad, and citiesfor his chariots, and citiesfor his horsemen, and that whichSolomondesiredto buildin Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in allthe landof his dominion. And allthe people that were leftofthe Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were notof the childrenof Israel, Their childrenthatwere leftafterthem in the land, whomthe childrenof Israelalso were notableutterly to destroy, upon those did Solomonlevya tribute of bondserviceuntothisday. But of the childrenof Israeldid Solomonmakenobondmen: butthey were menof war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulersof his chariots, and his horsemen. These were the chiefof the officersthat were overSolomon's work, fivehundredand fifty, which bare ruleover the peoplethat wroughtin the work. ButPharaoh's daughtercame upout of the cityof Daviduntoher housewhich Solomon had builtfor her: thendid he buildMillo. And threetimesin a yeardid Solomonofferburnt offeringsand peace offeringsuponthe altarwhichhe builtunto the LORD, and he burnt incenseuponthe altar that was beforethe LORD. So he finishedthe house. And kingSolomonmadea navy of shipsin Ezion-geber, which is besideEloth, onthe shoreof the Redsea, in the landof Edom. And Hiramsentin the navyhis servants, shipmenthat had knowledgeof the sea, withthe servantsof Solomon. And they cameto Ophir, and fetchedfrom thencegold, fourhundredand twentytalents, and brought it tokingSolomon.
