2 Chronicles 8
New King James Version
Solomon’s Additional Achievements(A)
8 It (B)came to pass at the end of (C)twenty years, when Solomon had built the house of the Lord and his own house, 2 that the cities which [a]Hiram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them; and he settled the children of Israel there. 3 And Solomon went to Hamath Zobah and seized it. 4 (D)He also built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the storage cities which he built in (E)Hamath. 5 He built Upper Beth Horon and (F)Lower Beth Horon, fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars, 6 also Baalath and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities and the cities of the cavalry, and all that Solomon (G)desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
7 (H)All the people who were left of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, who were not of Israel— 8 that is, their descendants who were left in the land after them, whom the children of Israel did not destroy—from these Solomon raised forced labor, as it is to this day. 9 But Solomon did not make the children of Israel [b]servants for his work. Some were men of war, captains of his officers, captains of his chariots, and his cavalry. 10 And others were chiefs of the officials of King Solomon: (I)two hundred and fifty, who ruled over the people.
11 Now Solomon (J)brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the house he had built for her, for he said, “My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places to which the ark of the Lord has come are holy.”
12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of the Lord which he had built before the vestibule, 13 according to the (K)daily rate, offering according to the commandment of Moses, for the Sabbaths, the New Moons, and the (L)three appointed yearly (M)feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles. 14 And, according to the [c]order of David his father, he appointed the (N)divisions of the priests for their service, (O)the Levites for their duties (to praise and serve before the priests) as the duty of each day required, and the (P)gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate; for so David the man of God had commanded. 15 They did not depart from the command of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter or concerning the (Q)treasuries.
16 Now all the work of Solomon was well-ordered [d]from the day of the foundation of the house of the Lord until it was finished. So the house of the Lord was completed.
17 Then Solomon went to (R)Ezion Geber and [e]Elath on the seacoast, in the land of Edom. 18 (S)And Hiram sent him ships by the hand of his servants, and servants who knew the sea. They went with the servants of Solomon to (T)Ophir, and acquired four hundred and fifty talents of gold from there, and brought it to King Solomon.

Waxyaalahii Kale Ee Sulaymaan Sameeyey
8 Oo markay dhammaadeen labaatankii sannadood ee uu Sulaymaan guriga Rabbiga iyo gurigiisiiba dhisayay, 2 ayuu Sulaymaan dhisay magaalooyinkii Xuuraam isaga siiyey, oo wuxuu halkaas dejiyey reer binu Israa'iil.
3 Oo haddana Sulaymaan wuxuu tegey Xamad Soobaah, wuuna ka adkaaday. 4 Oo cidladiina ayuu Tadmor ka dhisay, oo weliba wuxuu Xamaad ka dhisay magaalooyinkii wax lagu kaydin jiray oo dhan. 5 Oo weliba wuxuu kaloo dhisay Beytxooroontii sare iyo Beytxooroontii hooseba, wuxuuna ka dhigay magaalooyin deyr leh oo ay derbiyo ku wareegsan yihiin oo irdo iyo qataarroba leh, 6 iyo weliba Bacalad, iyo magaalooyinkii wax lagu kaydin jiray oo uu Sulaymaan lahaa oo dhan, iyo magaalooyinkii gaadhifardoodkiisa oo dhan, iyo magaalooyinkii fardooleydiisa, iyo wixii uu Sulaymaan jeclaaday inuu ka dhisto Yeruusaalem, iyo Lubnaan, iyo dalkii uu boqorka ka ahaa oo dhan. 7 Oo weliba dadkii ka hadhay reer Xeed, iyo reer Amor, iyo reer Feris, iyo reer Xiwi, iyo reer Yebuus oo aan reer binu Israa'iil ahayn, 8 kuwaas farcankoodii dalka ku hadhay, oo aanay reer binu Israa'iil baabbi'in, Sulaymaan wuxuu ka dhigtay addoommo ilaa maantadan la joogo. 9 Laakiinse reer binu Israa'iil Sulaymaan shuqulkiisii addoommo ugama uu dhigan, waxayse ahaayeen rag dagaalyahan ah iyo madaxdii saraakiishiisa, iyo taliyayaashii gaadhifardoodkiisa iyo fardooleydiisaba. 10 Oo kuwanu waxay ahaayeen saraakiishii Boqor Sulaymaan oo ahaa laba boqol iyo konton nin oo dadka u taliya. 11 Markaasaa Sulaymaan gabadhii Fircoon ka soo kaxeeyey magaaladii Daa'uud oo wuxuu keenay gurigii uu iyada u dhisay, waayo, wuxuu yidhi, Naagtaydu degganaan mayso gurigii Daa'uud oo ahaa boqorkii reer binu Israa'iil, maxaa yeelay, meelihii sanduuqa Rabbigu yimid waa wada quduus.
12 Oo haddana Sulaymaan wuxuu Rabbiga qurbaanno la gubo ugu bixiyey meeshii allabariga ee Rabbiga oo uu isagu ka dhisay balbalada horteedii. 13 Wuxuu bixiyey wixii Muuse amray in la bixiyo maalin kasta, iyo Sabtiyada, iyo markay bilaha cusubu dhashaan, iyo iidaha sannaddiiba saddex jeer loo amray, kuwaasoo ahaa Iiddii Kibista-aan-khamiirka-lahayn, iyo Iiddii Toddobaadyada, iyo Iiddii Taambuugyada. 14 Oo kooxihii wadaaddadu ku adeegi jireen iyo kuwii reer Laawi shuqulkooda loo amray ku samayn jireenba wuxuu ka dhigay si waafaqsan amarkii aabbihiis Daa'uud inay Rabbiga ammaanaan oo ay wadaaddada hortooda ka adeegaan sidii maalin kasta hawsheedii loo doonayay, oo weliba iridjoogayaashii ayuu kooxahoodii irid kasta ku taagay, waayo, sidaas waxaa amray Daa'uud oo ahaa ninkii Ilaah. 15 Oo iyana kama ay tegin amarkii boqorku ku amray wadaaddada iyo reer Laawi oo ku saabsanaa xaal kasta iyo xaggii khasnadahaba.
16 Haddaba Sulaymaan shuqulkiisa oo dhammu diyaar buu u ahaa maalintii guriga Rabbiga aasaaskiisa la dhigay iyo ilaa maalintii la dhammeeyey. Oo sidaasaa guriga Rabbiga loo ebyey.
17 Markaasaa Sulaymaan wuxuu tegey xagga Cesyoon Geber iyo Eelood oo ku yaal xeebta badda ee dalka Edom. 18 Oo Xuuraamna wuxuu gacanta addoommadiisii ugu sii dhiibay doonniyo iyo addoommo badda aqoon u leh, oo iyagu waxay addoommadii Sulaymaan u soo raaceen Oofir, oo halkaasayna Boqor Sulaymaan uga keeneen afar boqol iyo konton talanti oo dahab ah.
