1 Sucedeu, pois, que, acabando Salomão de edificar a casa do SENHOR, e a casa do rei, e todo o desejo de Salomão, que lhe veio à vontade fazer,
2 O Senhor tornou a aparecer a Salomão; como lhe tinha aparecido em Gibeom.
3 E o Senhor lhe disse: Ouvi a tua oração, e a súplica que fizeste perante mim; santifiquei a casa que edificaste, a fim de pôr ali o meu nome para sempre; e os meus olhos e o meu coração estarão ali todos os dias.
4 E se tu andares perante mim como andou Davi, teu pai, com inteireza de coração e com sinceridade, para fazeres segundo tudo o que te mandei, e guardares os meus estatutos e os meus juízos,
5 Então confirmarei o trono de teu reino sobre Israel para sempre; como falei acerca de teu pai Davi, dizendo: Não te faltará sucessor sobre o trono de Israel;
6 Porém, se vós e vossos filhos de qualquer maneira vos apartardes de mim, e não guardardes os meus mandamentos, e os meus estatutos, que vos tenho proposto, mas fordes, e servirdes a outros deuses, e vos prostrardes perante eles,
7 Então destruirei a Israel da terra que lhes dei; e a esta casa, que santifiquei a meu nome, lançarei longe da minha presença; e Israel será por provérbio e motejo, entre todos os povos.
8 E desta casa, que é tão exaltada, todo aquele que por ela passar pasmará, e assobiará, e dirá: Por que fez o Senhor assim a esta terra e a esta casa?
9 E dirão: Porque deixaram ao Senhor seu Deus, que tirou da terra do Egito a seus pais, e se apegaram a deuses alheios, e se encurvaram perante eles, e os serviram; por isso trouxe o Senhor sobre eles todo este mal.
10 E sucedeu, ao fim de vinte anos, que Salomão edificara as duas casas; a casa do Senhor e a casa do rei
11 (Para o que Hirão, rei de Tiro, trouxera a Salomão madeira de cedro e de cipreste, e ouro, segundo todo o seu desejo); então deu o rei Salomão a Hirão vinte cidades na terra da Galiléia.
12 E saiu Hirão de Tiro a ver as cidades que Salomão lhe dera, porém não foram boas aos seus olhos.
13 Por isso disse: Que cidades são estas que me deste, irmão meu? E chamaram-nas: Terra de Cabul, até hoje.
14 E enviara Hirão ao rei cento e vinte talentos de ouro.
15 E esta é a causa do tributo que impôs o rei Salomão, para edificar a casa do Senhor e a sua casa, e Milo, e o muro de Jerusalém, como também a Hasor, e a Megido, e a Gezer.
16 Porque Faraó, rei do Egito, subiu e tomou a Gezer, e a queimou a fogo, e matou os cananeus que moravam na cidade, e a deu em dote à sua filha, mulher de Salomão.
17 Assim edificou Salomão a Gezer, e Bete-Horom, a baixa,
18 E a Baalate, e a Tadmor, no deserto daquela terra,
19 E a todas as cidades de provisões que Salomão tinha, e as cidades dos carros, e as cidades dos cavaleiros, e tudo o que Salomão quis edificar em Jerusalém, e no Líbano, e em toda a terra do seu domínio.
20 Quanto a todo o povo que restou dos amorreus, heteus, perizeus, heveus, e jebuseus, e que não eram dos filhos de Israel,
21 A seus filhos, que restaram depois deles na terra, os quais os filhos de Israel não puderam destruir totalmente, Salomão os reduziu a tributo servil, até hoje.
22 Porém dos filhos de Israel não fez Salomão servo algum; porém eram homens de guerra, e seus criados, e seus príncipes, e seus capitães, e chefes dos seus carros e dos seus cavaleiros.
23 Estes eram os chefes dos oficiais que estavam sobre a obra de Salomão, quinhentos e cinqüenta, que davam ordens ao povo que trabalhava na obra.
24 Subiu, porém, a filha de Faraó da cidade de Davi, à sua casa, que Salomão lhe edificara; então edificou a Milo.
25 E oferecia Salomão três vezes cada ano holocaustos e sacrifícios pacíficos sobre o altar que edificaram ao Senhor, e queimava incenso sobre o que estava perante o Senhor; e assim acabou a casa.
26 Também o rei Salomão fez naus em Eziom-Geber, que está junto a Elate, à praia do mar de Sufe, na terra de Edom.
27 E mandou Hirão com aquelas naus a seus servos, marinheiros, que sabiam do mar, com os servos de Salomão.
28 E vieram a Ofir, e tomaram de lá quatrocentos e vinte talentos de ouro, e os trouxeram ao rei Salomão.
1 Now when Solomon came to the end of building the house of the Lord and the king's house, and all Solomon's desires, which he had in mind were effected;
2 The Lord came to him again in a vision, as he had done at Gibeon;
3 And the Lord said to him, Your prayers and your requests for grace have come to my ears: I have made holy this house which you have made, and I have put my name there for ever; my eyes and my heart will be there at all times.
4 As for you, if you will go on your way before me, as David your father did, uprightly and with a true heart, doing what I have given you orders to do, keeping my laws and my decisions;
5 Then I will make the seat of your rule over Israel certain for ever, as I gave my word to David your father, saying, You will never be without a man to be king in Israel.
6 But if you are turned from my ways, you or your children, and do not keep my orders and my laws which I have put before you, but go and make yourselves servants to other gods and give them worship:
7 Then I will have Israel cut off from the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for myself, I will put away from before my eyes; and Israel will be a public example, and a word of shame among all peoples.
8 And this house will become a mass of broken walls, and everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder at it and make whistling sounds; and they will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land and to this house?
9 And their answer will be, Because they were turned away from the Lord their God, who took their fathers out of the land of Egypt; they took for themselves other gods and gave them worship and became their servants: that is why the Lord has sent all this evil on them.
10 Now at the end of twenty years, in which time Solomon had put up the two houses, the house of the Lord and the king's house,
11 (Hiram, king of Tyre, had given Solomon cedar-trees and cypress-trees and gold, as much as he had need of,) King Solomon gave Hiram twenty towns in the land of Galilee.
12 But when Hiram came from Tyre to see the towns which Solomon had given him, he was not pleased with them.
13 And he said, What sort of towns are these which you have given me, my brother? So they were named the land of Cabul, to this day.
14 And Hiram sent the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold.
15 Now, this was the way of Solomon's system of forced work for the building of the Lord's house and of the king's house, and the Millo and the wall of Jerusalem and Megiddo and Gezer. ...
16 Pharaoh, king of Egypt, came and took Gezer, burning it down and putting to death the Canaanites living in the town, and he gave it for a bride-offering to his daughter, Solomon's wife. ...
17 ... and Solomon was the builder of Gezer and Beth-horon the lower,
18 And Baalath and Tamar in the waste land, in that land;
19 And all the store-towns and the towns which Solomon had for his war-carriages and for his horsemen, and everything which it was his pleasure to put up in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land under his rule.
20 As for the rest of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not children of Israel;
21 Their children who were still in the land, and whom the children of Israel had not been able to put to complete destruction, them did Solomon put to forced work, to this day.
22 But Solomon did not put the children of Israel to forced work; they were the men of war, his servants, his captains, and his chiefs, captains of his war-carriages and of his horsemen.
23 These were the chiefs of the overseers of Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, in authority over the people who did the work.
24 At that time Solomon made Pharaoh's daughter come up from the town of David to the house which he had made for her: then he made the Millo.
25 Three times in the year it was Solomon's way to give burned offerings and peace-offerings on the altar he had made to the Lord, causing his fire-offering to go up on the altar before the Lord.
26 And King Solomon made a sea-force of ships in Ezion-geber, by Eloth, on the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.
27 Hiram sent his servants, who were experienced seamen, in the sea-force with Solomon's men.
28 And they came to Ophir, where they got four hundred and twenty talents of gold, and took it back to King Solomon.
