9:1 And it came to pass, when Solomon 8010 had finished 3615 8763 the building 1129 8800 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and the king's 4428 house 1004, and all Solomon's 8010 desire 2837 which he was pleased 2654 8804 to do 6213 8800,

9:2 That the LORD 3068 appeared 7200 8735 to Solomon 8010 the second time 8145, as he had appeared 7200 8738 unto him at Gibeon 1391.

9:3 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto him, I have heard 8085 8804 thy prayer 8605 and thy supplication 8467, that thou hast made 2603 8694 before 6440 me: I have hallowed 6942 8689 this house 1004, which thou hast built 1129 8804, to put 7760 8800 my name 8034 there for 5704 ever 5769; and mine eyes 5869 and mine heart 3820 shall be there perpetually 3117.

9:4 And if thou wilt walk 3212 8799 before 6440 me, as David 1732 thy father 1 walked 1980 8804, in integrity 8537 of heart 3824, and in uprightness 3476, to do 6213 8800 according to all that I have commanded 6680 8765 thee, [and] wilt keep 8104 8799 my statutes 2706 and my judgments 4941:

9:5 Then I will establish 6965 8689 the throne 3678 of thy kingdom 4467 upon Israel 3478 for ever 5769, as I promised 1696 8765 to David 1732 thy father 1, saying 559 8800, There shall not fail 3772 8735 thee a man 376 upon the throne 3678 of Israel 3478.

9:6 [But] if ye shall at all 7725 8800 turn 7725 8799 from following 310 me, ye or your children 1121, and will not keep 8104 8799 my commandments 4687 [and] my statutes 2708 which I have set 5414 8804 before 6440 you, but go 1980 8804 and serve 5647 8804 other 312 gods 430, and worship 7812 8694 them:

9:7 Then will I cut off 3772 8689 Israel 3478 out 6440 of the land 127 which I have given 5414 8804 them; and this house 1004, which I have hallowed 6942 8689 for my name 8034, will I cast out 7971 8762 of my sight 6440; and Israel 3478 shall be a proverb 4912 and a byword 8148 among all people 5971:

9:8 And at this house 1004, [which] is high 5945, every one that passeth 5674 8802 by it shall be astonished 8074 8799, and shall hiss 8319 8804; and they shall say 559 8804, Why hath the LORD 3068 done 6213 8804 thus unto this land 776, and to this house 1004?

9:9 And they shall answer 559 8804, Because they forsook 5800 8804 the LORD 3068 their God 430, who brought forth 3318 8689 their fathers 1 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, and have taken hold 2388 8686 upon other 312 gods 430, and have worshipped 7812 8691 them, and served 5647 8799 them: therefore hath the LORD 3068 brought 935 8689 upon them all this evil 7451.

9:10 And it came to pass at the end 7097 of twenty 6242 years 8141, when Solomon 8010 had built 1129 8804 the two 8147 houses 1004, the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and the king's 4428 house 1004,

9:11 ([Now] Hiram 2438 the king 4428 of Tyre 6865 had furnished 5375 8765 Solomon 8010 with cedar 730 trees 6086 and fir 1265 trees 6086, and with gold 2091, according to all his desire 2656,) that then 227 king 4428 Solomon 8010 gave 5414 8799 Hiram 2438 twenty 6242 cities 5892 in the land 776 of Galilee 1551.

9:12 And Hiram 2438 came out 3318 8799 from Tyre 6865 to see 7200 8800 the cities 5892 which Solomon 8010 had given 5414 8804 him; and they pleased 3474 8804 5869 him not.(pleased…: Heb. were not right in his eyes)

9:13 And he said 559 8799, What cities 5892 [are] these which thou hast given 5414 8804 me, my brother 251? And he called 7121 8799 them the land 776 of Cabul 3521 unto this day 3117.(Cabul: that is, displeasing, or, dirty)

9:14 And Hiram 2438 sent 7971 8799 to the king 4428 sixscore 3967 6242 talents 3603 of gold 2091.

9:15 And this [is] the reason 1697 of the levy 4522 which king 4428 Solomon 8010 raised 5927 8689; for to build 1129 8800 the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and his own house 1004, and Millo 4407, and the wall 2346 of Jerusalem 3389, and Hazor 2674, and Megiddo 4023, and Gezer 1507.

9:16 [For] Pharaoh 6547 king 4428 of Egypt 4714 had gone up 5927 8804, and taken 3920 8799 Gezer 1507, and burnt 8313 8799 it with fire 784, and slain 2026 8804 the Canaanites 3669 that dwelt 3427 8802 in the city 5892, and given 5414 8799 it [for] a present 7964 unto his daughter 1323, Solomon's 8010 wife 802.

9:17 And Solomon 8010 built 1129 8799 Gezer 1507, and Bethhoron 1032 the nether 8481,

9:18 And Baalath 1191, and Tadmor 8412 in the wilderness 4057, in the land 776,

9:19 And all the cities 5892 of store 4543 that Solomon 8010 had, and cities 5892 for his chariots 7393, and cities 5892 for his horsemen 6571, and that 2837 which Solomon 8010 desired 2836 8804 to build 1129 8800 in Jerusalem 3389, and in Lebanon 3844, and in all the land 776 of his dominion 4475.(that which…: Heb. the desire of Solomon which he desired)

9:20 [And] all the people 5971 [that were] left 3498 8737 of the Amorites 567, Hittites 2850, Perizzites 6522, Hivites 2340, and Jebusites 2983, which [were] not of the children 1121 of Israel 3478,

9:21 Their children 1121 that were left 3498 8738 after 310 them in the land 776, whom the children 1121 of Israel 3478 also were not able 3201 8804 utterly to destroy 2763 8687, upon those did Solomon 8010 levy 5927 8686 a tribute 4522 of bondservice 5647 8802 unto this day 3117.

9:22 But of the children 1121 of Israel 3478 did Solomon 8010 make 5414 8804 no bondmen 5650: but they [were] men 582 of war 4421, and his servants 5650, and his princes 8269, and his captains 7991, and rulers 8269 of his chariots 7393, and his horsemen 6571.

9:23 These [were] the chief 8269 of the officers 5324 8737 that [were] over Solomon's 8010 work 4399, five 2568 hundred 3967 and fifty 2572, which bare rule 7287 8802 over the people 5971 that wrought 6213 8804 in the work 4399.

9:24 But Pharaoh's 6547 daughter 1323 came up 5927 8804 out of the city 5892 of David 1732 unto her house 1004 which [Solomon] had built 1129 8804 for her: then did he build 1129 8804 Millo 4407.

9:25 And three 7969 times 6471 in a year 8141 did Solomon 8010 offer 5927 8689 burnt offerings 5930 and peace offerings 8002 upon the altar 4196 which he built 1129 8804 unto the LORD 3068, and he burnt incense 6999 8687 upon the altar 4196 that [was] before 6440 the LORD 3068. So he finished 7999 8765 the house 1004.(upon the altar that: Heb. upon it, etc)

9:26 And king 4428 Solomon 8010 made 6213 8804 a navy of ships 590 in Eziongeber 6100, which [is] beside Eloth 359, on the shore 8193 of the Red 5488 sea 3220, in the land 776 of Edom 123.(shore: Heb. lip)

9:27 And Hiram 2438 sent 7971 8799 in the navy 590 his servants 5650, shipmen 582 591 that had knowledge 3045 8802 of the sea 3220, with the servants 5650 of Solomon 8010.
