2 Chronicles 8

1 And it comes to pass at the end of twenty years that Solomon has built the house of YHWH and his own house.

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

2 As for the cities that Huram has given to Solomon, Solomon has built them, and he causes the sons of Israel to dwell there.

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

3 And Solomon goes to Hamath-Zobah, and lays hold on it;

And Salomon went to Hamath Zobah, and ouercame it.

4 and he builds Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the cities of store that he has built in Hamath.

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

5 And he builds Beth-Horon the upper, and Beth-Horon the lower—cities of defense, with walls, double gates, and bar—

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

6 and Ba‘alath, and all the cities of store that Solomon had, and all the cities of the chariot, and the cities of the horsemen, and all the desire of Solomon that he desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

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.

7 All the people who are left of the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, who are not of Israel—

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,

8 of their sons who have been left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel did not consume—Solomon lifts up a tribute to this day.

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.

9 And Solomon has made none of the sons of Israel servants for his work, but they [are] men of war, and heads of his captains, and heads of his charioteers, and of his horsemen;

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.

10 and these [are] heads of the officers whom King Solomon has, two hundred and fifty who are rulers among the people.

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

11 And Solomon has brought up the daughter of Pharaoh from the City of David to the house that he built for her, for he said, “My wife does not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, for they are holy to whom the Ark of YHWH has come.”

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.

12 Then Solomon has caused burnt-offerings to ascend to YHWH on the altar of YHWH that he built before the porch,

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

13 even by the matter of a day in its day, to cause to ascend according to the command of Moses, on Sabbaths, and on new moons, and on appointed times, three times in a year—in the Celebration of Unleavened Things, and in the Celebration of Weeks, and in the Celebration of Shelters.

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.

14 And he establishes, according to the ordinance of his father David, the divisions of the priests over their service, and of the Levites over their charges, to praise and to minister before the priests, according to the matter of a day in its day, and the gatekeepers in their divisions at every gate, for so [is] the command of David the man of God.

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.

15 And they have not turned aside [from] the command of the king concerning the priests and the Levites, in reference to any matter, and to the treasures.

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

16 And all the work of Solomon is prepared until the day of the foundation of the house of YHWH, and until its completion; the house of YHWH is perfect.

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.

17 Then Solomon has gone to Ezion-Geber, and to Elath, on the border of the sea, in the land of Edom;

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

18 and Huram sends to him, by the hand of his servants, ships and servants knowing the sea, and they go with servants of Solomon to Ophir, and take four hundred and fifty talents of gold from there, and bring it to King Solomon.

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.
