וַיְהִ֞י מִקֵּ֣ץ ׀ עֶשְׂרִ֣ים שָׁנָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר בָּנָ֧ה שְׁלֹמֹ֛ה אֶת־בֵּ֥ית יְהוָ֖ה וְאֶת־בֵּיתֹֽו׃ 1
Now at the end of the twenty years during which Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own palace,
וְהֶעָרִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֨ר נָתַ֤ן חוּרָם֙ לִשְׁלֹמֹ֔ה בָּנָ֥ה שְׁלֹמֹ֖ה אֹתָ֑ם וַיֹּ֥ושֶׁב שָׁ֖ם אֶת־בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ 2
Solomon rebuilt the cities Hiram had given him and settled Israelites there.
וַיֵּ֤לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹה֙ חֲמָ֣ת צֹובָ֔ה וַיֶּחֱזַ֖ק עָלֶֽיהָ׃ 3
Then Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and captured it.
וַיִּ֥בֶן אֶת־תַּדְמֹ֖ר בַּמִּדְבָּ֑ר וְאֵת֙ כָּל־עָרֵ֣י הַֽמִּסְכְּנֹ֔ות אֲשֶׁ֥ר בָּנָ֖ה בַּחֲמָֽת׃ 4
He built Tadmor in the wilderness, in addition to all the store cities that he had built in Hamath.
וַיִּ֜בֶן אֶת־בֵּ֤ית חֹורֹון֙ הָֽעֶלְיֹ֔ון וְאֶת־בֵּ֥ית חֹורֹ֖ון הַתַּחְתֹּ֑ון עָרֵ֣י מָצֹ֔ור חֹומֹ֖ות דְּלָתַ֥יִם וּבְרִֽיחַ׃ 5
He rebuilt Upper and Lower Beth-horon as fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars,
וְאֶֽת־בַּעֲלָ֗ת וְאֵ֨ת כָּל־עָרֵ֤י הַֽמִּסְכְּנֹות֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הָי֣וּ לִשְׁלֹמֹ֔ה וְאֵת֙ כָּל־עָרֵ֣י הָרֶ֔כֶב וְאֵ֖ת עָרֵ֣י הַפָּרָשִׁ֑ים וְאֵ֣ת ׀ כָּל־חֵ֣שֶׁק שְׁלֹמֹ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֤ר חָשַׁק֙ לִבְנֹ֤ות בִּירֽוּשָׁלַ֙͏ִם֙ וּבַלְּבָנֹ֔ון וּבְכֹ֖ל אֶ֥רֶץ מֶמְשַׁלְתֹּֽו׃ 6
as well as Baalath, all the store cities that belonged to Solomon, and all the cities for his chariots and horses —whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout the land of his dominion.
כָּל־הָ֠עָם הַנֹּותָ֨ר מִן־הַחִתִּ֜י וְהָאֱמֹרִ֤י וְהַפְּרִזִּי֙ וְהַחִוִּ֣י וְהַיְבוּסִ֔י אֲשֶׁ֛ר לֹ֥א מִיִּשְׂרָאֵ֖ל הֵֽמָּה׃ 7
As for all the people who remained of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (the people who were not Israelites)—
מִן־בְּנֵיהֶ֗ם אֲשֶׁ֨ר נֹותְר֤וּ אַחֲרֵיהֶם֙ בָּאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא־כִלּ֖וּם בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיַּעֲלֵ֤ם שְׁלֹמֹה֙ לְמַ֔ס עַ֖ד הַיֹּ֥ום הַזֶּֽה׃ 8
their descendants who remained in the land, those whom the Israelites were unable to destroy—Solomon conscripted these people to be forced laborers, as they are to this day.
וּמִן־בְּנֵי֙ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֲ֠שֶׁר לֹא־נָתַ֧ן שְׁלֹמֹ֛ה לַעֲבָדִ֖ים לִמְלַאכְתֹּ֑ו כִּי־הֵ֜מָּה אַנְשֵׁ֤י מִלְחָמָה֙ וְשָׂרֵ֣י שָׁלִישָׁ֔יו וְשָׂרֵ֥י רִכְבֹּ֖ו וּפָרָשָֽׁיו׃ פ 9
But Solomon did not consign any of the Israelites to slave labor, because they were his men of war, his officers and captains, and the commanders of his chariots and cavalry.
וְאֵ֨לֶּה שָׂרֵ֤י הַנְּצִיבִים (הַנִּצָּבִ֛ים) אֲשֶׁר־לַמֶּ֥לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹ֖ה חֲמִשִּׁ֣ים וּמָאתָ֑יִם הָרֹדִ֖ים בָּעָֽם׃ 10
They were also the chief officers for King Solomon: 250 supervisors.
וְאֶת־בַּת־פַּרְעֹ֗ה הֶעֱלָ֤ה שְׁלֹמֹה֙ מֵעִ֣יר דָּוִ֔יד לַבַּ֖יִת אֲשֶׁ֣ר בָּֽנָה־לָ֑הּ כִּ֣י אָמַ֗ר לֹא־תֵשֵׁ֨ב אִשָּׁ֥ה לִי֙ בְּבֵית֙ דָּוִ֣יד מֶֽלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל כִּי־קֹ֣דֶשׁ הֵ֔מָּה אֲשֶׁר־בָּֽאָ֥ה אֲלֵיהֶ֖ם אֲרֹ֥ון יְהוָֽה׃ פ 11
Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the palace he had built for her. For he said, “My wife must not live in the house of David king of Israel, because the places the ark of the LORD has entered are holy.”
אָ֣ז הֶעֱלָ֧ה שְׁלֹמֹ֛ה עֹלֹ֖ות לַיהוָ֑ה עַ֚ל מִזְבַּ֣ח יְהוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר בָּנָ֖ה לִפְנֵ֥י הָאוּלָֽם׃ 12
At that time Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD he had built in front of the portico.
וּבִדְבַר־יֹ֣ום בְּיֹ֗ום לְהַעֲלֹות֙ כְּמִצְוַ֣ת מֹשֶׁ֔ה לַשַּׁבָּתֹות֙ וְלֶ֣חֳדָשִׁ֔ים וְלַמֹּ֣ועֲדֹ֔ות שָׁלֹ֥ושׁ פְּעָמִ֖ים בַּשָּׁנָ֑ה בְּחַ֧ג הַמַּצֹּ֛ות וּבְחַ֥ג הַשָּׁבֻעֹ֖ות וּבְחַ֥ג הַסֻּכֹּֽות׃ 13
He observed the daily requirement for offerings according to the commandment of Moses for Sabbaths, New Moons, and the three annual appointed feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles.
וַיַּעֲמֵ֣ד כְּמִשְׁפַּ֣ט דָּֽוִיד־אָ֠בִיו אֶת־מַחְלְקֹ֨ות הַכֹּהֲנִ֜ים עַל־עֲבֹדָתָ֗ם וְהַלְוִיִּ֣ם עַל־מִ֠שְׁמְרֹותָם לְהַלֵּ֨ל וּלְשָׁרֵ֜ת נֶ֤גֶד הַכֹּֽהֲנִים֙ לִדְבַר־יֹ֣ום בְּיֹומֹ֔ו וְהַשֹּׁועֲרִ֥ים בְּמַחְלְקֹותָ֖ם לְשַׁ֣עַר וָשָׁ֑עַר כִּ֣י כֵ֔ן מִצְוַ֖ת דָּוִ֥יד אִישׁ־הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ 14
In keeping with the ordinances of his father David, Solomon appointed the divisions of the priests over their service, and the Levites for their duties to offer praise and to minister before the priests according to the daily requirement. He also appointed gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate, for this had been the command of David, the man of God.
וְלֹ֣א סָרוּ֩ מִצְוַ֨ת הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ עַל־הַכֹּהֲנִ֧ים וְהַלְוִיִּ֛ם לְכָל־דָּבָ֖ר וְלָאֹצָרֹֽות׃ 15
They did not turn aside from the king’s command regarding the priests or the Levites or any matter concerning the treasuries.
וַתִּכֹּן֙ כָּל־מְלֶ֣אכֶת שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה עַד־הַיֹּ֛ום מוּסַ֥ד בֵּית־יְהוָ֖ה וְעַד־כְּלֹתֹ֑ו שָׁלֵ֖ם בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃ ס 16
Thus all the work of Solomon was carried out, from the day the foundation was laid for the house of the LORD until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed.
אָז֩ הָלַ֨ךְ שְׁלֹמֹ֜ה לְעֶצְיֹֽון־גֶּ֧בֶר וְאֶל־אֵילֹ֛ות עַל־שְׂפַ֥ת הַיָּ֖ם בְּאֶ֥רֶץ אֱדֹֽום׃ 17
Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the coast of Edom.
וַיִּֽשְׁלַֽח־לֹו֩ חוּרָ֨ם בְּיַד־עֲבָדָ֜יו אֹונִיֹּות (אֳנִיֹּ֗ות) וַעֲבָדִים֮ יֹ֣ודְעֵי יָם֒ וַיָּבֹ֜אוּ עִם־עַבְדֵ֤י שְׁלֹמֹה֙ אֹופִ֔ירָה וַיִּקְח֣וּ מִשָּׁ֔ם אַרְבַּע־מֵאֹ֥ות וַחֲמִשִּׁ֖ים כִּכַּ֣ר זָהָ֑ב וַיָּבִ֖יאוּ אֶל־הַמֶּ֥לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹֽה׃ פ 18
So Hiram sent him ships captained by his servants, along with crews of experienced sailors. They went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir and acquired from there 450 talents of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
