所罗门的功绩
8 所罗门用二十年的时间兴建了耶和华的殿和他自己的王宫。 2 他重修希兰送给他的城邑，让以色列人居住。
3 所罗门去攻打哈马琐巴，并攻取了此城。 4 他兴建旷野里的达莫以及哈马境内所有的储货城， 5 把上伯·和仑与下伯·和仑建成有墙、有门、有闩的坚城， 6 还建造巴拉、所有的储货城、屯车城、养马城和他想在耶路撒冷、黎巴嫩及其统治的全境兴建的城邑。 7 当时国中有赫人、亚摩利人、比利洗人、希未人和耶布斯人的后裔， 8 以色列人没有灭绝他们。所罗门让他们服劳役，至今如此。 9 所罗门王没有让以色列人服劳役，而是让他们做战士、将领、战车长和骑兵长。 10 他还任命二百五十名监工负责监管工人。
11 所罗门带法老的女儿离开大卫城，来到为她建造的宫中，因为所罗门说：“我的妻子不可住在以色列王大卫的宫里，因为约柜所到之处都是圣洁的。”
12 所罗门在门廊前他所筑的耶和华的坛上向耶和华献燔祭， 13 并照摩西的规定，在安息日、朔日和每年特定的三个节期，即除酵节、七七节和住棚节献上当献的祭。
14 所罗门照着他父亲大卫的吩咐，指派祭司分班供职，让利未人负责颂赞、辅助祭司尽每天的职责，还指派殿门守卫分班守门。这些都是上帝的仆人大卫规定的。 15 他们没有违背大卫王就库房等工作对祭司和利未人的吩咐。
16 从耶和华的殿奠基直到完工，所罗门所有的计划都已顺利完成。这样，耶和华的殿落成了。
17 之后，所罗门前往以东地区靠海的以旬·迦别和以禄。 18 希兰派懂得航海的仆人乘船只与所罗门的仆人一同到俄斐，从那里为所罗门王运回十五吨黄金。

2 Chronicles 8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 8
Public Works. 1 (A)After the twenty years during which Solomon built the house of the Lord and his own house, 2 he built up the cities which Huram had given him,[a] and settled Israelites there. 3 Then Solomon went to Hamath of Zoba and conquered it. 4 He built Tadmor[b] in the wilderness and all the supply cities, which he built in Hamath. 5 (B)He built Upper Beth-horon and Lower Beth-horon, fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars; 6 also Baalath, all the supply cities belonging to Solomon, and all the cities for the chariots, the cities for horses, and whatever else Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in the entire land under his dominion. 7 All the people who were left of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites who were not Israelites— 8 those of their descendants who were left in the land and whom the Israelites had not destroyed—Solomon conscripted as forced laborers, as they are to this day. 9 But Solomon made none of the Israelites forced laborers for his works, for they were his fighting force, commanders, adjutants, chariot officers, and cavalry. 10 They were also King Solomon’s two hundred and fifty overseers who directed the people.
Solomon’s Piety. 11 Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the house which he had built for her, for he said, “No wife of mine shall dwell in the house of David, king of Israel, for the places where the ark of the Lord has come are holy.”
12 In those times Solomon sacrificed burnt offerings to the Lord upon the altar of the Lord which he had built in front of the porch, 13 as was required to be done day by day according to the command of Moses, especially on the sabbaths, at the new moons, and on the fixed festivals three times a year: on the feast of the Unleavened Bread, the feast of Weeks, and the feast of Booths.(C)
14 And according to the ordinance of David his father he appointed the various divisions of the priests for their service, and the Levites according to their functions of praise and attendance upon the priests, as the daily duty required. The gatekeepers by their divisions stood guard at each gate, since such was the command of David, the man of God.(D) 15 There was no deviation from the king’s command in whatever related to the priests and Levites or the treasuries. 16 All of Solomon’s work was carried out successfully from the day the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid until its completion. The house of the Lord was finished.
Glories of the Court. 17 In those times Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Elath on the seashore of the land of Edom.(E) 18 Huram had his servants send him ships and his own servants, expert seamen; they went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir, and obtained there four hundred and fifty talents of gold and brought it to King Solomon.(F)
Footnotes
- 8:2 The cities which Huram had given him: according to 1 Kgs 9:10–14, it was Solomon who ceded the cities to the king of Tyre as payment for the timber and gold received from him. Since, however, 1 Kgs 9:12 states that Hiram was not satisfied with the cities, the Chronicler may have inferred that he gave them back to Solomon.
- 8:4 Tadmor: later known as Palmyra, an important caravan city in the Syrian desert. The parallel passage in 1 Kgs 9:18 has “Tamar,” in southern Judah; cf. Ez 47:19; 48:28. But Solomon may well have fortified Tadmor against the Arameans.
