所罗门建邑
8 所罗门建造耶和华殿和王宫，二十年才完毕了。 2 以后所罗门重新修筑希兰送给他的那些城邑，使以色列人住在那里。
3 所罗门往哈马琐巴去，攻取了那地方。 4 所罗门建造旷野里的达莫，又建造哈马所有的积货城。 5 又建造上伯和仑、下伯和仑作为保障，都有墙、有门、有闩。 6 又建造巴拉和所有的积货城，并屯车辆马兵的城，与耶路撒冷、黎巴嫩，以及自己治理的全国中所愿意建造的。
征异族人服役
7 至于国中所剩下不属以色列人的赫人、亚摩利人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人， 8 就是以色列人未曾灭绝的，所罗门挑取他们的后裔做服苦的奴仆，直到今日。 9 唯有以色列人，所罗门不使他们当奴仆做工，乃是做他的战士、军长的统领、车兵长、马兵长。 10 所罗门王有二百五十督工的，监管工人。
11 所罗门将法老的女儿带出大卫城，上到为他建造的宫里，因所罗门说：“耶和华约柜所到之处都为圣地，所以我的妻不可住在以色列王大卫的宫里。”
献燔祭
12 所罗门在耶和华的坛上，就是在廊子前他所筑的坛上，与耶和华献燔祭， 13 又遵着摩西的吩咐，在安息日、月朔并一年三节，就是除酵节、七七节、住棚节，献每日所当献的祭。
定祭司之班利未人之职
14 所罗门照着他父大卫所定的例，派定祭司的班次，使他们各供己事，又使利未人各尽其职，赞美耶和华，在祭司面前做每日所当做的，又派守门的按着班次看守各门，因为神人大卫是这样吩咐的。 15 王所吩咐众祭司和利未人的，无论是管府库或办别的事，他们都不违背。
16 所罗门建造耶和华的殿，从立根基直到成功的日子，工料俱备。这样，耶和华的殿全然完毕。
航海之船舶
17 那时，所罗门往以东地靠海的以旬迦别和以禄去。 18 希兰差遣他的臣仆，将船只和熟悉泛海的仆人送到所罗门那里。他们同着所罗门的仆人到了俄斐，得了四百五十他连得金子，运到所罗门王那里。

所羅門的功績
8 所羅門用二十年的時間興建了耶和華的殿和他自己的王宮。 2 他重修希蘭送給他的城邑，讓以色列人居住。
3 所羅門去攻打哈馬瑣巴，並攻取了此城。 4 他興建曠野裡的達莫以及哈馬境內所有的儲貨城， 5 把上伯·和崙與下伯·和崙建成有牆、有門、有閂的堅城， 6 還建造巴拉、所有的儲貨城、屯車城、養馬城和他想在耶路撒冷、黎巴嫩及其統治的全境興建的城邑。 7 當時國中有赫人、亞摩利人、比利洗人、希未人和耶布斯人的後裔， 8 以色列人沒有滅絕他們。所羅門讓他們服勞役，至今如此。 9 所羅門王沒有讓以色列人服勞役，而是讓他們做戰士、將領、戰車長和騎兵長。 10 他還任命二百五十名監工負責監管工人。
11 所羅門帶法老的女兒離開大衛城，來到為她建造的宮中，因為所羅門說：「我的妻子不可住在以色列王大衛的宮裡，因為約櫃所到之處都是聖潔的。」
12 所羅門在門廊前他所築的耶和華的壇上向耶和華獻燔祭， 13 並照摩西的規定，在安息日、朔日和每年特定的三個節期，即除酵節、七七節和住棚節獻上當獻的祭。
14 所羅門照著他父親大衛的吩咐，指派祭司分班供職，讓利未人負責頌讚、輔助祭司盡每天的職責，還指派殿門守衛分班守門。這些都是上帝的僕人大衛規定的。 15 他們沒有違背大衛王就庫房等工作對祭司和利未人的吩咐。
16 從耶和華的殿奠基直到完工，所羅門所有的計劃都已順利完成。這樣，耶和華的殿落成了。
17 之後，所羅門前往以東地區靠海的以旬·迦別和以祿。 18 希蘭派懂得航海的僕人乘船隻與所羅門的僕人一同到俄斐，從那裡為所羅門王運回十五噸黃金。

2 Chronicles 8
New Catholic Bible
Chapter 8
Solomon’s Buildings.[a] 1 At the end of the twenty years that Solomon had taken to build the house of the Lord and his own palace, 2 he rebuilt the cities that Huram had given to him, and he settled the Israelites in them.
3 Then Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and captured it.[b] 4 After that he fortified Tadmor[c] in the wilderness and all the storage towns that he had built in Hamath. 5 He also built Upper Beth-horon and Lower Beth-horon, fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars, 6 and Baalath, all the supply cities belonging to Solomon, and all the towns for his chariots and for his cavalry and whatever else Solomon decided to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and throughout his entire dominion.
7 All the people who still remained of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites who did not belong to Israel— 8 that is, from their descendants still surviving in the land, whom the people of Israel had not destroyed—Solomon subjected to forced labor, as is still the case today.[d]
9 However, Solomon did not use the people of Israel as slaves for all the work he wanted done. Rather, they were assigned as soldiers and his officers, as well as the commanders of his soldiers and his cavalry.[e] 10 These served as King Solomon’s officials, two hundred and fifty in number, who exercised authority over the people.
11 Solomon’s Piety. Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the place that he had built for her, for he said: “No wife of mine shall live in the house of King David of Israel, for the places that the Ark of the Lord has entered are sacred.”
12 Then Solomon sacrificed burnt offerings to the Lord upon the altar of the Lord that he had built in front of the portico, 13 in accordance with what was required for each day, offerings in accordance with the law of Moses for the Sabbaths, the new moons, and the annual dedicated feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Booths.
14 Following the ordinances of his father David, Solomon designated the various divisions of the priests for their service, and the Levites for their offices of praise and ministry alongside the priests as the duty of each day required, and the gatekeepers designated for specific gates, for such was the command of David, the man of God. 15 The instructions that David had specified in regard to the priests and Levites and also concerning the treasuries were never disregarded.
16 Thus all of Solomon’s work was accomplished, from the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid until the house of the Lord was completed.
17 Solomon’s Glory. Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and Elath on the seacoast of Edom, 18 and Huram sent ships under the command of his own officers and manned by experienced seamen familiar with the sea. They went to Ophir, together with the servants of Solomon, and brought back from there four hundred and fifty talents that they presented to King Solomon.
Footnotes
- 2 Chronicles 8:1 The Lord prospers the undertakings of the man who built his temple. But the picture which the Chronicler sketches of the reign of Solomon is brighter than the reality. For a more concrete and less grandiloquent description of the facts, see the first Book of Kings.
- 2 Chronicles 8:3 See 1 Ki 9:11f. Zobah was an Aramean kingdom north of Damascus. “He went,” like “he built,” etc., means he had it done.
- 2 Chronicles 8:4 Tadmor: the Semitic name, still in use, for Palmyra, an oasis which is mentioned in an Assyrian inscription dating from a century before Solomon and which became famous in the third century A.D. In fact, however, the reference is clearly to Tamar, on the southern shore of the Dead Sea; see the parallel in 1 Ki 9:18.
- 2 Chronicles 8:8 As is still the case today: the expression is repeated elsewhere, showing that the author is using an ancient source.
- 2 Chronicles 8:9 The opening statement does not correspond to the facts (see 1 Ki 5:13), but attests to the Israelites’ sense of being free people.
