house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be
there perpetually.
4
And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of
heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee,
and
wilt keep my
statutes and my judgments:
5
Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever,
as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.
6
But
if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my
commandments
and
my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and
worship them:
7
Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house,
which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and
a byword among all people:
8
And at this house,
which
is high, every one that passeth by it shall
be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the L
ORD
done thus unto this land, and
to this house?
9
And they shall answer, Because they forsook the L
ORD
their God, who brought
forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have
worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the L
ORD
brought upon them all this evil.
10
And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the
house of the L
ORD
, and the king’s house,
11
(
Now
Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon
with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire,) that then king Solomon
gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
12
And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities
which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not.
13
And he said, What cities
are
these
which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul unto this day.
14
And
Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.
15
And this
is
the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised; for to build the house of the
L
ORD
, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and
Gezer.
16
For
Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain
the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it
for
a present unto his daughter, Solomon’s wife.
17
And Solomon built Gezer, and Beth-horon the nether,
18
and Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness,
in the land,
19
And all the cities of store that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for
his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all
the land of his dominion.
20
And
all the people
that were
left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites,
Hivites, and Jebusites, which
were
not of the children of Israel,
21
Their children that were left after
them in the land, whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did
Solomon levy a tribute of bondservice unto this day.
22
But of the children of Israel did Solomon
make no bondmen: but they
were
men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains,
and rulers of his chariots, and his horsemen.
23
These
were
the chief of the officers that
were
over
Solomon’s work, five hundred and fifty, which bare rule over the people that wrought in the work.
24
But Pharaoh’s daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house which
Solomon
had
built for her: then did he build Millo.
