所罗门其他建树与功绩(A)
8 所罗门建造耶和华的殿和自己的王宫，用了二十年才完成。 2 所罗门又修筑希兰送给他的那些城市，使以色列人住在那里。 3 所罗门到哈玛琐巴去，占领了那地方。 4 所罗门又修筑了在旷野的达莫，和他在哈玛建造的一切贮藏货物的城市。 5 他又建造上伯．和仑和下伯．和仑，成了有墙、有门和有闩的设防城； 6 又建造巴拉和所罗门拥有的一切贮藏货物的城市，以及一切囤放战车的城市，马兵驻扎的城市，和所罗门在耶路撒冷、黎巴嫩，以及他统治的全境内喜爱建造的一切。
7 至于以色列人以外的赫人、亚摩利人、比利洗人、希未人和耶布斯人剩下来的人民， 8 他们的子孙仍然留在那地，以色列人没有消灭他们。于是，所罗门征召他们作苦工，直到今日。 9 唯独以色列人，所罗门没有驱使他们为他的工程作奴仆；他们作了他的战士、军长、车兵长和马兵长。 10 所罗门王有二百五十名监工，监督工人。
11 所罗门把法老的女儿从大卫城，带到他为她建造的宫里去；因为他说：“我的妻子不可住在以色列王大卫的宫里，因为耶和华的约柜所到的地方都是神圣的。”
12 那时，所罗门在耶和华的坛上，就是在走廊前面他建筑的坛上，向耶和华献上燔祭， 13 又照着摩西的吩咐，在安息日、初一和一年三次特定的节期，就是除酵节、七七节、住棚节，献上每日当献的。
14 所罗门又照着他父亲大卫所定的，设立了祭司的班次，执行他们的事奉，又派遣利未人，各守本职，赞美耶和华，在祭司面前照着每日的本分事奉。又派守门的按着班次看守各门。因为这是神人大卫的吩咐。 15 王对祭司和利未人所吩咐的，无论是甚么事务，或是有关库房的事，他们都没有违抗。
16 从耶和华的殿奠基的日子起，直到建成，所罗门的一切工程都进行顺利。这样，耶和华的殿就完成了。
17 那时，所罗门往以东地，到靠近海边的以旬．迦别和以禄去了。 18 希兰派他的臣仆，把船只和熟悉航海的仆人，送到所罗门那里。他们和所罗门的仆人一同去到俄斐，从那里得了一万五千公斤金子，运到所罗门王那里。

所羅門其他建樹與功績(A)
8 所羅門建造耶和華的殿和自己的王宮，用了二十年才完成。 2 所羅門又修築希蘭送給他的那些城市，使以色列人住在那裡。 3 所羅門到哈瑪瑣巴去，佔領了那地方。 4 所羅門又修築了在曠野的達莫，和他在哈瑪建造的一切貯藏貨物的城市。 5 他又建造上伯．和崙和下伯．和崙，成了有牆、有門和有閂的設防城； 6 又建造巴拉和所羅門擁有的一切貯藏貨物的城市，以及一切囤放戰車的城市，馬兵駐紮的城市，和所羅門在耶路撒冷、黎巴嫩，以及他統治的全境內喜愛建造的一切。
7 至於以色列人以外的赫人、亞摩利人、比利洗人、希未人和耶布斯人剩下來的人民， 8 他們的子孫仍然留在那地，以色列人沒有消滅他們。於是，所羅門徵召他們作苦工，直到今日。 9 唯獨以色列人，所羅門沒有驅使他們為他的工程作奴僕；他們作了他的戰士、軍長、車兵長和馬兵長。 10 所羅門王有二百五十名監工，監督工人。
11 所羅門把法老的女兒從大衛城，帶到他為她建造的宮裡去；因為他說：“我的妻子不可住在以色列王大衛的宮裡，因為耶和華的約櫃所到的地方都是神聖的。”
12 那時，所羅門在耶和華的壇上，就是在走廊前面他建築的壇上，向耶和華獻上燔祭， 13 又照著摩西的吩咐，在安息日、初一和一年三次特定的節期，就是除酵節、七七節、住棚節，獻上每日當獻的。
14 所羅門又照著他父親大衛所定的，設立了祭司的班次，執行他們的事奉，又派遣利未人，各守本職，讚美耶和華，在祭司面前照著每日的本分事奉。又派守門的按著班次看守各門。因為這是神人大衛的吩咐。 15 王對祭司和利未人所吩咐的，無論是甚麼事務，或是有關庫房的事，他們都沒有違抗。
16 從耶和華的殿奠基的日子起，直到建成，所羅門的一切工程都進行順利。這樣，耶和華的殿就完成了。
17 那時，所羅門往以東地，到靠近海邊的以旬．迦別和以祿去了。 18 希蘭派他的臣僕，把船隻和熟悉航海的僕人，送到所羅門那裡。他們和所羅門的僕人一同去到俄斐，從那裡得了一萬五千公斤金子，運到所羅門王那裡。
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.
