2 Chronicles 8

1 And after twentie yeere when Salomon had built the house of the Lord, and his owne house,

And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the house of the Lord, and his own house,

2 Then Salomon built the cities that Huram gaue to Salomon, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.

That [as regardeth] the cities which Churam had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.

3 And Salomon went to Hamath Zobah, and ouercame it.

And Solomon went to Chamath-zobah, and prevailed against it.

4 And he built Tadmor in the wildernesse, and repayred all the cities of store which hee built in Hamath.

And he built Thadmor in the wilderness, and all the treasure-cities, which he built in Chamath.

5 And he built Beth-horon the vpper, and Beth-horon the nether, cities defensed with walles, gates and barres:

And he built the upper Beth-choron, and the lower Beth-choron, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars;

6 Also Baalath, and al the cities of store that Salomon had, and all the charet cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and euery pleasant place that Salomon had a minde to builde in Ierusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the lande of his dominion.

And Ba'alath, and all the treasure-cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for chariots, and the cities for horsemen, and all the [other] desire of Solomon which he desired to build in Jerusalem, and in the Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion.

7 And all the people that were left to ye Hittites, and ye Amorites, and Perizzites, and the Hiuuites, and the Iebusites, which were not of Israel,

All the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Emorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel,

8 But of their children which were left after them in the lande, whome the children of Israel had not consumed, euen them did Salomon make tributaries vntill this day.

Out of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel had not destroyed—these did Solomon levy as tributary [laborers] until this day.

9 But of the children of Israel did Salomon make no seruantes for his worke: for they were men of warre, and his chiefe princes, and the captaines of his charets and of his horsemen.

Yet of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen for his work; but they were men of war, and chiefs of his captains; and officers of his chariots and of his horsemen.

10 So these were the chiefe of the officers which Salomon had, euen two hundreth and fiftie that bare rule ouer the people.

And these were the chiefs of the superintendents whom king Solomon had, [even] two hundred and fifty, who ruled over the people.

11 Then Salomon brought vp the daughter of Pharaoh out of the citie of Dauid, into the house that he had built for her: for he saide, My wife shall not dwel in the house of Dauid King of Israel: for it is holy, because that the Arke of the Lord came vnto it.

And the daughter of Pharaoh did Solomon bring up out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her; for he said, No wife of mine shall dwell in a house of David the king of Israel, because they are holy, because there came [once] unto them the ark of the Lord.

12 Then Salomon offered burnt offrings vnto the Lord, on the altar of the Lord, which he had built before the porche,

Then did Solomon offer burnt-offerings unto the Lord on the altar of the Lord, which he had built before the porch,

13 To offer according to the commandement of Moses euery day, in the Sabbaths, and in the newe moones, and in the solemne feastes, three times in the yeere, that is, in the feast of the Vnleauened bread, and in the feast of the Weekes, and in the feast of the Tabernacles.

Even according to what was the due of [every] day on its day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new-moons, and on the stated festivals, three times in the year, on the feast of unleavened bread, and on the feast of weeks, and on the feast of tabernacles.

14 And he set the courses of the Priestes to their offices, according to the order of Dauid his father, and the Leuites in their watches, for to praise and minister before the Priestes euery day, and the porters by their courses, at euery gate: for so was the commandement of Dauid the man of God.

And he stationed, according to the prescription of David his father, the divisions of the priests at their service, and the Levites at their stations, to praise and minister next to the priests, in the requirement of every day on its day, and the gate-keepers in their divisions at every gate; for so was the charge of David the man of God.

15 And they declined not from the commandement of the King, concerning the Priests and the Leuites, touching al things, and touching the treasures.

And they departed not from the charge of the king concerning the priests and Levites respecting every matter, and respecting the treasuries.

16 Nowe Salomon had made prouision for all the worke, from the day of the foundation of the house of the Lord, vntill it was finished: so the house of the Lord was perfite.

And [so] was all the work of Solomon successful from the day of founding the house of the Lord, even until it was finished. [So] was perfected the house of the Lord.

17 Then went Salomon to Ezion-geber, and to Eloth by the sea side in the lande of Edom.

Then went Solomon to 'Ezyon-geber, and to Eloth, at the sea-shore in the land of Edom.

18 And Huram sent him by the handes of his seruants, shippes, and seruants that had knowledge of the sea: and they went with the seruants of Salomon to Ophir, and brought thence foure hundreth and fiftie talents of golde, and brought them to King Salomon.

And Churam sent him by means of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and they fetched away thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought the same to king Solomon.
