And Solomon came to Baesoba, and fortified it.
4 Ningĩ agĩcooka agĩaka Tadimori kũu werũ-inĩ na matũũra manene mothe marĩa aakĩte kũu Hamathu ma kũigwo indo.

7 Andũ othe arĩa maatigaire kuuma kũrĩ Ahiti, na Aamori, na Aperizi, na Ahivi, na Ajebusi (nao andũ acio matiarĩ Aisiraeli),
[As for] all the people that was left of the Chettites, and the Amorites, and the Pherezites, and the Evites, and the Jebusites, who are not of Israel,

And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharao from the city of David to the house which he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the city of David, the king of Israel, for [the place] is holy into which the ark of the Lord has entered.
12 Igũrũ rĩa kĩgongona kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa Solomoni aakĩte mbere ya gĩthaku, hau nĩho Solomoni arutĩire Jehova maruta ma njino,
Then Solomon offered up to the Lord whole burnt offerings on the altar which he had built to the Lord before the temple,

And he established, according to the order of his father David, the courses of the priests, and [that] according to their public ministrations: and the Levites [were appointed] over their charges, to praise and minister before the priests according to the daily order: and the porters were appointed according to their courses to the different gates: for thus [were] the commandments of David the man of God.
15 Nao matiatigire kũrũmĩrĩra watho ũrĩa mũthamaki aathĩte athĩnjĩri-Ngai kana Alawii ũndũ-inĩ o wothe hamwe na ũmenyereri wa igĩĩna.
They transgressed not the commandments of the king concerning the priests and the Levites with regard to everything else, and with regard to the treasures.

And Chiram sent by the hand of his servants ships, and servants skilled in naval affairs; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Sophira, and brought thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and they came to king Solomon.
