2CH-8:1 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein

Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house,

2CH-8:2 That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon,

Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell

there.

2CH-8:3 And Solomon went to Hamathzobah, and prevailed against

it.

2CH-8:4 And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store

cities, which he built in Hamath.

2CH-8:5 Also he built Bethhoron the upper, and Bethhoron the

nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, and bars;

2CH-8:6 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.

2CH-8:7 [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,

2CH-8:8 [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.

2CH-8:9 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.

2CH-8:10 And these [were] the chief of king Solomon's officers,

[even] two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over the people.

2CH-8:11 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

LORD hath come.

2CH-8:12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on

the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch,

2CH-8:13 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.

2CH-8:14 And he appointed, according to the order of David his

father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the

Levites to their charges, to praise and minister before the

priests, as the duty of every day required: the porters also by

their courses at every gate: for so had David the man of God

commanded.

2CH-8:15 And they departed not from the commandment of the king

unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or

concerning the treasures.

2CH-8:16 Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day

of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was

finished. [So] the house of the LORD was perfected.

2CH-8:17 Then went Solomon to Eziongeber, and to Eloth, at the

sea side in the land of Edom.

2CH-8:18 And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships,

and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with

the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and took thence four hundred

and fifty talents of gold, and brought [them] to king Solomon.
