2 Chronicles 8
1 It happened at the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the house of Jehovah, and his own house,
| וַיְהִי מִקֵּץ ׀ עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה שְׁלֹמֹה אֶת־בֵּית יְהֹוָה וְאֶת־בֵּיתֽוֹ׃ |
2 that the cities which Hiram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
| וְהֶעָרִים אֲשֶׁר נָתַן חוּרָם לִשְׁלֹמֹה בָּנָה שְׁלֹמֹה אֹתָם וַיּוֹשֶׁב שָׁם אֶת־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
3 Solomon went to Hamath Zobah, and prevailed against it.
| וַיֵּלֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹה חֲמָת צוֹבָה וַיֶּחֱזַק עָלֶֽיהָ׃ |
4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the storage cities, which he built in Hamath.
| וַיִּבֶן אֶת־תַּדְמֹר בַּמִּדְבָּר וְאֵת כׇּל־עָרֵי הַֽמִּסְכְּנוֹת אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה בַּחֲמָֽת׃ |
5 Also he built Upper Beth Horon, and Lower Beth Horon, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars;
| וַיִּבֶן אֶת־בֵּית חוֹרוֹן הָעֶלְיוֹן וְאֶת־בֵּית חוֹרוֹן הַתַּחְתּוֹן עָרֵי מָצוֹר חוֹמוֹת דְּלָתַיִם וּבְרִֽיחַ׃ |
6 and Baalath, and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
| וְאֶֽת־בַּעֲלָת וְאֵת כׇּל־עָרֵי הַֽמִּסְכְּנוֹת אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ לִשְׁלֹמֹה וְאֵת כׇּל־עָרֵי הָרֶכֶב וְאֵת עָרֵי הַפָּרָשִׁים וְאֵת ׀ כׇּל־חֵשֶׁק שְׁלֹמֹה אֲשֶׁר חָשַׁק לִבְנוֹת בִּירוּשָׁלַ͏ִם וּבַלְּבָנוֹן וּבְכֹל אֶרֶץ מֶמְשַׁלְתּֽוֹ׃ |
7 As for all the people who were left of the Hethites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel;
| כׇּל־הָעָם הַנּוֹתָר מִן־הַחִתִּי וְהָאֱמֹרִי וְהַפְּרִזִּי וְהַחִוִּי וְהַיְבוּסִי אֲשֶׁר לֹא מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל הֵֽמָּה׃ |
8 of their descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel did not destroy, of them Solomon conscripted for slave labor to this day.
| מִן־בְּנֵיהֶם אֲשֶׁר נוֹתְרוּ אַֽחֲרֵיהֶם בָּאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־כִלּוּם בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּעֲלֵם שְׁלֹמֹה לְמַס עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ |
9 But of the children of Israel, Solomon made no slaves for his work; but they were men of war, and his commanders, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.
| וּמִן־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר לֹא־נָתַן שְׁלֹמֹה לַעֲבָדִים לִמְלַאכְתּוֹ כִּי־הֵמָּה אַנְשֵׁי מִלְחָמָה וְשָׂרֵי שָׁלִישָׁיו וְשָׂרֵי רִכְבּוֹ וּפָרָשָֽׁיו׃ |
10 These were the chief officers of king Solomon: five hundred fifty, who ruled over the people.
| וְאֵלֶּה שָׂרֵי (הנציבים) [הַנִּצָּבִים] אֲשֶׁר־לַמֶּלֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹה חֲמִשִּׁים וּמָאתָיִם הָרֹדִים בָּעָֽם׃ |
11 Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the City of David to the house that he had built for her; for he said, "My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places where the ark of Jehovah has come are holy."
| וְאֶת־בַּת־פַּרְעֹה הֶעֱלָה שְׁלֹמֹה מֵעִיר דָּוִיד לַבַּיִת אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה־לָהּ כִּי אָמַר לֹא־תֵשֵׁב אִשָּׁה לִי בְּבֵית דָּוִיד מֶלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּֽי־קֹדֶשׁ הֵמָּה אֲשֶׁר־בָּאָֽה־אֲלֵיהֶם אֲרוֹן יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to Jehovah on the altar of Jehovah, which he had built before the porch,
| אָז הֶעֱלָה שְׁלֹמֹה עֹלוֹת לַֽיהֹוָה עַל מִזְבַּח יְהֹוָה אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה לִפְנֵי הָאוּלָֽם׃ |
13 even as the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts, three times in the year, in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tents.
| וּבִדְבַר־יוֹם בְּיוֹם לְהַֽעֲלוֹת כְּמִצְוַת מֹשֶׁה לַשַּׁבָּתוֹת וְלֶחֳדָשִׁים וְלַמּוֹעֲדוֹת שָׁלוֹשׁ פְּעָמִים בַּשָּׁנָה בְּחַג הַמַּצּוֹת וּבְחַג הַשָּׁבֻעוֹת וּבְחַג הַסֻּכּֽוֹת׃ |
14 He appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the divisions of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their offices, to praise, and to minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required; the doorkeepers also by their divisions at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded.
| וַיַּעֲמֵד כְּמִשְׁפַּט דָּֽוִיד־אָבִיו אֶת־מַחְלְקוֹת הַכֹּהֲנִים עַל־עֲבֹדָתָם וְהַלְוִיִּם עַל־מִשְׁמְרוֹתָם לְהַלֵּל וּלְשָׁרֵת נֶגֶד הַכֹּֽהֲנִים לִדְבַר־יוֹם בְּיוֹמוֹ וְהַשֹּׁעֲרִים בְּמַחְלְקוֹתָם לְשַׁעַר וָשָׁעַר כִּי כֵן מִצְוַת דָּוִיד אִישׁ־הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
15 They did not depart from the commandment of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.
| וְלֹא סָרוּ מִצְוַת הַמֶּלֶךְ עַל־הַכֹּהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם לְכׇל־דָּבָר וְלָאֹצָרֽוֹת׃ |
16 Now all the work of Solomon was carried out from the day of the foundation of the house of Jehovah, until it was finished. So the house of Jehovah was completed.
| וַתִּכֹּן כׇּל־מְלֶאכֶת שְׁלֹמֹה עַד־הַיּוֹם מוּסַד בֵּית־יְהֹוָה וְעַד־כְּלֹתוֹ שָׁלֵם בֵּית יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
17 Then went Solomon to Ezion Geber, and to Eilat, on the seashore in the land of Edom.
| אָז הָלַךְ שְׁלֹמֹה לְעֶצְיֽוֹן־גֶּבֶר וְאֶל־אֵילוֹת עַל־שְׂפַת הַיָּם בְּאֶרֶץ אֱדֽוֹם׃ |
18 And Hiram sent him ships and servants who had knowledge of the sea by the hands of his servants; and they came with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and fetched from there four hundred fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.
| וַיִּֽשְׁלַֽח־לוֹ חוּרָם בְּיַד־עֲבָדָיו (אוניות) [אֳנִיּוֹת] וַעֲבָדִים יוֹדְעֵי יָם וַיָּבֹאוּ עִם־עַבְדֵי שְׁלֹמֹה אוֹפִירָה וַיִּקְחוּ מִשָּׁם אַרְבַּע־מֵאוֹת וַחֲמִשִּׁים כִּכַּר זָהָב וַיָּבִיאוּ אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹֽה׃ |
