Basic HTML Version
before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and
shalt observe my statutes and my judgments;
18
Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom,
according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man
to be
ruler in Israel.
19
But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have
set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;
20
Then will I pluck them up
by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for
my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it
to be
a proverb and a byword among all
nations.
21
And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it;
so that he shall say, Why hath the L
ORD
done thus unto this land, and unto this house?
22
And it
shall be answered, Because they forsook the L
ORD
God of their fathers, which brought them forth
out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them:
therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.
CHAPTER CHRONICLES 8
And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of the L
ORD
,
and his own house,
2
That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them,
and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
3
And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, and prevailed
against it.
4
And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath.
5
Also he built Beth- horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates,
and bars;
6
And Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities, and the
cities of the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and
throughout all the land of his dominion.
7
As for
all the people
that were
left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the
Hivites, and the Jebusites, which
were
not of Israel,
8
But
of their children, who were left after them
in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until
this day.
9
But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they
were
men of war, and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots and horsemen.
10
And these
were
the chief of king Solomon’s officers,
even
two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over the people.
11
And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the house that
he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because
the places are
holy, whereunto the ark of the L
ORD
hath come.
12
Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the L
ORD
on the altar of the L
ORD
, which he had
built before the porch,
13
Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment
of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year,
even
in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.
