2 Crônicas 8
Nova Versão Internacional
Outros Feitos de Salomão
8 Depois de vinte anos, durante os quais Salomão construiu o templo do Senhor e o seu próprio palácio, 2 ele reconstruiu as cidades que Hirão lhe tinha dado, e nelas estabeleceu israelitas. 3 Depois atacou Hamate-Zobá e a conquistou. 4 Também reconstruiu Tadmor, no deserto, e todas as cidades-armazéns que havia construído em Hamate. 5 Reconstruiu Bete-Horom Alta e Bete-Horom Baixa, cidades fortificadas com muros, portas e trancas, 6 e também Baalate e todas as cidades-armazéns que possuía, e todas as cidades onde ficavam os seus carros e os seus cavalos[a]. Construiu tudo o que desejou em Jerusalém, no Líbano e em todo o território que governou.
7 Todos os que não eram israelitas, descendentes dos hititas, dos amorreus, dos ferezeus, dos heveus e dos jebuseus, 8 que não tinham sido mortos pelos israelitas, Salomão recrutou para o trabalho forçado, e nisso continuam até hoje. 9 Mas Salomão não obrigou nenhum israelita a trabalhos forçados; eles eram seus homens de guerra, chefes de seus capitães, comandantes dos seus carros e condutores de carros. 10 Também eram israelitas os principais oficiais do rei Salomão, duzentos e cinqüenta oficiais que supervisionavam os trabalhadores.
11 Salomão levou a filha do faraó da Cidade de Davi para o palácio que ele havia construído para ela, pois dissera: “Minha mulher não deve morar no palácio de Davi, rei de Israel, pois os lugares onde entrou a arca do Senhor são sagrados”.
12 Sobre o altar do Senhor, que havia construído diante do pórtico, Salomão passou a sacrificar holocaustos ao Senhor, 13 conforme as determinações de Moisés acerca das ofertas diárias e dos sábados, das luas novas e das três festas anuais: a festa dos pães sem fermento, a festa das semanas[b] e a festa das cabanas[c]. 14 De acordo com a ordem de seu pai Davi, designou os grupos dos sacerdotes para as suas tarefas, e os levitas para conduzirem o louvor e ajudarem os sacerdotes, conforme as determinações diárias. Também designou, por divisões, os porteiros das várias portas, conforme o que Davi, homem de Deus, tinha ordenado. 15 Todas as ordens dadas pelo rei aos sacerdotes e aos levitas, inclusive as ordens relativas aos tesouros, foram seguidas à risca.
16 Todo o trabalho de Salomão foi executado, desde o dia em que foram lançados os alicerces do templo do Senhor até seu término. Assim foi concluído o templo do Senhor.
17 Depois Salomão foi a Eziom-Geber e a Elate, no litoral de Edom. 18 E Hirão enviou-lhe navios comandados por seus próprios marinheiros, homens que conheciam o mar. Eles navegaram com os marinheiros de Salomão até Ofir, e de lá trouxeram quinze mil e setecentos e cinqüenta quilos[d] de ouro para o rei Salomão.

Solomon’s Other Activities(A)
8 At the end of twenty years, during which Solomon built the temple of the Lord and his own palace,(B) 2 Solomon rebuilt the villages that Hiram[a] had given him, and settled Israelites in them. 3 Solomon then went to Hamath Zobah and captured it. 4 He also built up Tadmor in the desert and all the store cities he had built in Hamath.(C) 5 He rebuilt Upper Beth Horon(D) and Lower Beth Horon as fortified cities, with walls and with gates and bars, 6 as well as Baalath(E) and all his store cities, and all the cities for his chariots and for his horses[b]—whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon and throughout all the territory he ruled.
7 There were still people left from the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites(F) (these people were not Israelites). 8 Solomon conscripted(G) the descendants of all these people remaining in the land—whom the Israelites had not destroyed—to serve as slave labor, as it is to this day. 9 But Solomon did not make slaves of the Israelites for his work; they were his fighting men, commanders of his captains, and commanders of his chariots and charioteers. 10 They were also King Solomon’s chief officials—two hundred and fifty officials supervising the men.
11 Solomon brought Pharaoh’s daughter(H) up from the City of David to the palace he had built for her, for he said, “My wife must not live in the palace of David king of Israel, because the places the ark of the Lord has entered are holy.”
12 On the altar(I) of the Lord that he had built in front of the portico, Solomon sacrificed burnt offerings to the Lord, 13 according to the daily requirement(J) for offerings commanded by Moses for the Sabbaths,(K) the New Moons(L) and the three(M) annual festivals—the Festival of Unleavened Bread,(N) the Festival of Weeks(O) and the Festival of Tabernacles.(P) 14 In keeping with the ordinance of his father David, he appointed the divisions(Q) of the priests for their duties, and the Levites(R) to lead the praise and to assist the priests according to each day’s requirement. He also appointed the gatekeepers(S) by divisions for the various gates, because this was what David the man of God(T) had ordered.(U) 15 They did not deviate from the king’s commands to the priests or to the Levites in any matter, including that of the treasuries.
16 All Solomon’s work was carried out, from the day the foundation of the temple of the Lord was laid until its completion. So the temple of the Lord was finished.
17 Then Solomon went to Ezion Geber and Elath on the coast of Edom. 18 And Hiram sent him ships commanded by his own men, sailors who knew the sea. These, with Solomon’s men, sailed to Ophir and brought back four hundred and fifty talents[c] of gold,(V) which they delivered to King Solomon.
