Berean Standard
9:1
BSB
Now when Solomon had finished building the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and had achieved all that he had desired to do,
9:2
BSB
the LORD appeared to him a second time, as He had appeared to him at Gibeon.
9:3
BSB
And the LORD said to him: “I have heard your prayer and petition before Me. I have consecrated this temple, which you have built, by putting My Name there forever; My eyes and My heart will be there for all time.
9:4
BSB
And as for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, with a heart of integrity and uprightness, doing all I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and ordinances,
9:5
BSB
then I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever, as I promised your father David when I said, ‘You will never fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.’
9:6
BSB
But if indeed you or your sons turn away from following Me and do not keep the commandments and statutes I have set before you, and if you go off to serve and worship other gods,
9:7
BSB
then I will cut off Israel from the land that I have given them, and I will banish from My presence this temple I have sanctified for My Name. Then Israel will become an object of scorn and ridicule among all peoples.
9:8
BSB
And when this temple has become a heap of rubble, all who pass by it will be appalled and will hiss and say, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’
9:9
BSB
And others will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the LORD their God who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them— because of this, the LORD has brought all this disaster upon them.’”
9:10
BSB
Now at the end of the twenty years during which Solomon built these two houses, the house of the LORD and the royal palace,
9:11
BSB
King Solomon gave twenty towns in the land of Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, who had supplied him with cedar and cypress logs and gold for his every desire.
9:12
BSB
So Hiram went out from Tyre to inspect the towns that Solomon had given him, but he was not pleased with them.
9:13
BSB
“What are these towns you have given me, my brother?” asked Hiram, and he called them the Land of Cabul, as they are called to this day.
9:14
BSB
And Hiram had sent the king 120 talents of gold.
9:15
BSB
This is the account of the forced labor that King Solomon imposed to build the house of the LORD, his own palace, the supporting terraces, and the wall of Jerusalem, as well as Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
9:16
BSB
Pharaoh king of Egypt had attacked and captured Gezer. He had set it on fire, killed the Canaanites who lived in the city, and given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.
9:17
BSB
So Solomon rebuilt Gezer, Lower Beth-horon,
9:18
BSB
Baalath, and Tamar in the Wilderness of Judah,
9:19
BSB
as well as all the store cities that Solomon had for his chariots and horses — whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout the land of his dominion.
9:20
BSB
As for all the people who remained of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (the people who were not Israelites) —
9:21
BSB
their descendants who remained in the land, those whom the Israelites were unable to devote to destruction— Solomon conscripted these people to be forced laborers, as they are to this day.
9:22
BSB
But Solomon did not consign any of the Israelites to slavery, because they were his men of war, his servants, his officers, his captains, and the commanders of his chariots and cavalry.
9:23
BSB
They were also the chief officers over Solomon’s projects: 550 supervisors over the people who did the work.
9:24
BSB
As soon as Pharaoh’s daughter had come up from the City of David to the palace that Solomon had built for her, he built the supporting terraces.
9:25
BSB
Three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar he had built for the LORD, burning incense with them before the LORD. So he completed the temple.
9:26
BSB
King Solomon also assembled a fleet of ships at Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth in Edom, on the shore of the Red Sea.
9:27
BSB
And Hiram sent his servants, sailors who knew the sea, to serve in the fleet with Solomon’s servants.
9:28
BSB
They sailed to Ophir and imported gold from there— 420 talents— and delivered it to Solomon.
