所羅門的成就(A)

所羅門建造耶和華的殿和王宮,用了二十年才完成。 所羅門修築希蘭送給他的城鎮,使以色列人住在那裏。 所羅門哈馬‧瑣巴去,攻取了那地方。 所羅門建造曠野的達莫,建造哈馬一切的儲貨城, 又建造上伯‧和崙下伯‧和崙,成為有牆、門、閂的堡壘城。 所羅門建造巴拉和一切的儲貨城、戰車城、戰馬城,以及他所想要建造的,在耶路撒冷黎巴嫩,和自己所治理全國中的一切建設。 至於所有剩下的百姓,不屬以色列人、亞摩利人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人, 那些以色列人在當地不能滅盡的人,所羅門徵召他們剩下的後代服勞役,直到今日。 惟有以色列人,所羅門不使他們當奴僕做工,而是作他的戰士、軍官、戰車長、騎兵長。 10 這些是所羅門王的監工,共有二百五十名百姓的監工。

11 所羅門把法老的女兒遷出大衛城,上到他為她建造的宮裏,因所羅門說:「耶和華約櫃所到之處都是聖地,所以我的妻子不可住在以色列大衛的宮裏。」

12 那時,所羅門在走廊前他所築的耶和華的壇上,向耶和華獻燔祭, 13 又遵照摩西的吩咐,在安息日、初一,以及每年在除酵節、七七節、住棚節三個節期,獻每日所當獻上的祭。 14 所羅門照着他父親大衛所定的條例,分派祭司的班次,擔任他們的職務,又分派利未人的任務,負責頌讚,並在祭司面前做每日當做的事,又派門口的守衛按着班次看守各門,因為神人大衛是這樣吩咐的。 15 王對眾祭司和利未人的吩咐,無論是管理庫房或任何事務,他們都不違背。

16 所羅門所有的工作都準備就緒,從立耶和華殿的根基直到完工的日子。耶和華的殿就完成了。

17 那時,所羅門以東地海岸的以旬‧迦別以祿去。 18 希蘭派他的臣僕,把船隻和熟悉航海的僕人送到所羅門那裏。他們同所羅門的僕人到了俄斐,從那裏得了四百五十他連得金子,運到所羅門王那裏。

And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of the Lord, and his own house,

That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.

And Solomon went to Hamathzobah, and prevailed against it.

And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath.

Also he built Bethhoron the upper, and Bethhoron the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, and bars;

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.

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,

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.

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.

10 And these were the chief of king Solomon's officers, even two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over the people.

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.

12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the Lord on the altar of the Lord, which he had built before the porch,

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.

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.

15 And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.

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.

17 Then went Solomon to Eziongeber, and to Eloth, at the sea side in the land of Edom.

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.
