God’s Promise and Warning

9 (A)Now it came about when Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord and (B)the king’s house, and (C)all [a]that Solomon desired to do, 2 that (D)the Lord appeared to Solomon a second time, as He had appeared to him at Gibeon. 3 And the Lord said to him, “(E)I have heard your prayer and your plea which you have offered before Me; I have consecrated this house which you have built, (F)by putting My name there forever, and (G)My eyes and My heart will be there [b]always. 4 As for you, (H)if you walk before Me as your father David walked, in integrity of heart and honesty, acting in accordance with everything that I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and My ordinances, 5 then (I)I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, just as I [c]promised to your father David, saying, ‘[d]You shall not be deprived of a man on the throne of Israel.’

6 “(J)But if you or your sons indeed turn away from following Me, and do not keep My commandments and My statutes which I have placed before you, but you go and serve other gods and worship them, 7 (K)then I will cut Israel off from the land which I have given them, and (L)the house which I have consecrated for My name, I will [e]expel from My sight. So (M)Israel will become a saying and an object of derision among all peoples. 8 And this house will become (N)a heap of ruins; everyone who passes by it will be appalled and [f]hiss and say, ‘(O)Why has the Lord done such a thing to this land and this house?’ 9 And they will say, ‘(P)Because they abandoned the Lord their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and they [g]adopted other gods and worshiped and served them, for that reason the Lord has brought all this adversity on them.’”

Cities Given to Hiram

10 (Q)Now it came about (R)at the end of twenty years in which Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the Lord and the king’s house 11 (Hiram king of Tyre had supplied Solomon with cedar and juniper timber and gold, [h]satisfying all his desire), that King Solomon then gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee. 12 So Hiram left Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him, and they [i]did not please him. 13 And he said, “What are these cities which you have given me, my brother?” So [j]they have been called the land of [k](S)Cabul to this day. 14 (T)And Hiram sent to the king [l]120 talents of gold.

15 Now this is the account of the forced labor which King Solomon (U)conscripted to build the house of the Lord, his own house, the [m](V)Millo, the wall of Jerusalem, (W)Hazor, (X)Megiddo, and (Y)Gezer. 16 For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and overthrown Gezer and burned it with fire, and killed the (Z)Canaanites who lived in the city; and he had (AA)given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife. 17 So Solomon rebuilt Gezer and the lower (AB)Beth-horon, 18 and (AC)Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land of Judah, 19 and all the storage cities which Solomon had, that is, (AD)the cities for [n]his chariots and the cities for [o](AE)his horsemen, and [p](AF)everything that it pleased Solomon to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land [q]under his rule. 20 As for all the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the sons of Israel, 21 (AG)their descendants who were left after them in the land, (AH)whom the sons of Israel were unable to completely eliminate, (AI)from them Solomon conscripted (AJ)forced laborers, as they are to this day. 22 But Solomon (AK)did not make slaves of the sons of Israel; for they were men of war, his servants, his commanders, his charioteers, his chariot commanders, and his horsemen.

23 These were the [r](AL)chief officers who were in charge of Solomon’s work, 550, (AM)who ruled over the people doing the work.

24 As soon as (AN)Pharaoh’s daughter came up from the city of David to her house which Solomon had built for her, (AO)he then built the Millo.

25 Now (AP)three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he had built for the Lord, burning incense with them on the altar which was before the Lord. So he finished the house.

26 King Solomon also built a (AQ)fleet of ships in (AR)Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth on the shore of the [s]Red Sea, in the land of Edom. 27 (AS)And Hiram sent his servants with the fleet, sailors who knew the sea, along with the servants of Solomon. 28 And they went to (AT)Ophir and received [t]420 talents of gold from there, and brought it to King Solomon.

The Lord Appears to Solomon

9 (A)As soon as Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord (B)and the king's house and (C)all that Solomon desired to build, 2 (D)the Lord appeared to Solomon a second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon. 3 And the Lord said to him, “I have heard your prayer and your plea, which you have made before me. I have consecrated this house that you have built, (E)by putting my name there forever. (F)My eyes and my heart will be there for all time. 4 And as for you, if you will (G)walk before me, (H)as David your father walked, with integrity of heart and uprightness, doing according to all that I have commanded you, and keeping my statutes and my rules, 5 (I)then I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever, as I promised David your father, saying, ‘You shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.’ 6 (J)But if you turn aside from following me, you or your children, and do not keep my commandments and my statutes that I have set before you, but go and serve other gods and worship them, 7 (K)then I will cut off Israel from the land that I have given them, (L)and the house that I have consecrated for my name I will cast out of my sight, (M)and Israel will become a proverb and a byword among all peoples. 8 And this house will become a heap of ruins.[a] Everyone passing by it will be astonished and will hiss, and they will say, (N)‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house?’ 9 Then they will say, ‘Because (O)they abandoned the Lord their God who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt and laid hold on other gods and worshiped them and served them. Therefore the Lord has brought all this disaster on them.’”

Solomon's Other Acts

10 (P)At the end of (Q)twenty years, in which Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the Lord and the king's house, 11 and Hiram king of Tyre had supplied Solomon with cedar and cypress timber and gold, as much as he desired, King Solomon gave to Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee. 12 But when Hiram came from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him, they did not please him. 13 Therefore he said, “What kind of cities are these that you have given me, my brother?” So they are called the land of (R)Cabul to this day. 14 Hiram had sent to the king 120 talents[b] of gold.

15 And this is the account of (S)the forced labor that King Solomon drafted to build the house of the Lord and his own house and (T)the Millo and the wall of Jerusalem and (U)Hazor and (V)Megiddo and Gezer 16 (Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and captured Gezer and burned it with fire, and had killed (W)the Canaanites who lived in the city, and had given it as dowry to (X)his daughter, Solomon's wife; 17 so Solomon rebuilt Gezer) and (Y)Lower Beth-horon 18 and Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land of Judah,[c] 19 and all the store cities that Solomon had, and (Z)the cities for his chariots, and the cities for (AA)his horsemen, and whatever Solomon (AB)desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion. 20 All the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the people of Israel— 21 (AC)their descendants who were left after them in the land, (AD)whom the people of Israel were unable to devote to destruction[d]—(AE)these Solomon drafted to be (AF)slaves, and so they are to this day. 22 But (AG)of the people of Israel Solomon made no slaves. They were the soldiers, they were his officials, his commanders, his captains, his chariot commanders and his horsemen.

23 These were the chief officers who were over Solomon's work: (AH)550 (AI)who had charge of the people who carried on the work.

24 But (AJ)Pharaoh's daughter went up from the city of David to (AK)her own house that Solomon had built for her. (AL)Then he built (AM)the Millo.

25 Three times a year Solomon used to offer up burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar that he built to the Lord, making offerings with it[e] before the Lord. So he finished the house.

26 King Solomon built a fleet of ships at (AN)Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom. 27 And Hiram sent (AO)with the fleet his servants, seamen who were familiar with the sea, together with the servants of Solomon. 28 And they went to (AP)Ophir and brought from there gold, 420 talents, and they brought it to King Solomon.

Pacto de Dios con Salomón

9 Sucedió que cuando Salomón había acabado de construir la casa del SEÑOR, la casa del rey y todo lo que había deseado hacer, 2 El SEÑOR se apareció a Salomón por segunda vez, como se le había aparecido en Gabaón. 3 Y el SEÑOR le dijo: “He escuchado tu oración y tu plegaria que has hecho en mi presencia. He santificado esta casa que has edificado para que yo ponga allí mi nombre para siempre. Mis ojos y mi corazón estarán allí todos los días. 4 Y en cuanto a ti, si andas delante de mí como anduvo tu padre David, con integridad de corazón y con rectitud, haciendo todas las cosas que te he mandado y guardando mis leyes y mis decretos, 5 entonces estableceré para siempre el trono de tu reino sobre Israel, como prometí a tu padre David, diciendo: ‘No te faltará un hombre sobre el trono de Israel’. 6 Pero si obstinadamente ustedes y sus hijos se apartan de mí y no guardan mis mandamientos y mis estatutos que he puesto delante de ustedes, y se van y sirven a otros dioses y los adoran, 7 entonces eliminaré a Israel del suelo que les he dado. Y la casa que he santificado a mi nombre, la apartaré de mi presencia. Entonces Israel servirá de refrán y escarnio entre todos los pueblos. 8 En cuanto a esta casa, que es sublime, todo el que pase por ella se asombrará y silbará. Ellos preguntarán: ‘¿Por qué ha hecho así el SEÑOR a esta tierra y a esta casa?’. 9 Y responderán: ‘Porque abandonaron al SEÑOR su Dios que sacó a sus padres de la tierra de Egipto, y se aferraron a adorar y servir a otros dioses. Por eso el SEÑOR ha traído sobre ellos todo este mal’ ”.

Salomón remunera a Hiram

10 Aconteció al cabo de veinte años, durante los cuales Salomón había edificado las dos casas (la casa del SEÑOR y la casa del rey, 11 para las cuales Hiram, rey de Tiro, había proporcionado a Salomón madera de cedro y de ciprés y oro, conforme a todo su deseo), que el rey Salomón dio a Hiram veinte ciudades en la tierra de Galilea. 12 Pero cuando Hiram salió de Tiro para ver las ciudades que Salomón le había dado, no le agradaron. 13 Y comentó: “¿Qué ciudades son estas que me has dado, hermano mío?”. Y se las llama Tierra de Cabul, hasta el día de hoy. 14 Hiram había enviado al rey cuatro mil kilos de oro.

Otras obras de Salomón

15 Esta es la razón de la leva que el rey Salomón realizó: edificar la casa del SEÑOR, su propia casa, el Milo, la muralla de Jerusalén, Hazor, Meguido y Gezer. 16 (El faraón, rey de Egipto, había subido y tomado Gezer, y la había incendiado; había dado muerte a los cananeos que habitaban en la ciudad y la había dado como dote matrimonial a su hija, la mujer de Salomón. 17 Y Salomón reedificó Gezer). También reedificó Bet-jorón Baja, 18 Baalat, Tadmor[a] en el desierto del país; 19 y todas las ciudades almacenes que tenía Salomón, las ciudades para los carros y las ciudades para los jinetes; todo[b] lo que Salomón se propuso edificar en Jerusalén, en el Líbano y en toda la tierra bajo su dominio.

20 A todo el pueblo que había quedado de los amorreos, heteos, ferezeos, heveos y jebuseos (que no eran de los hijos de Israel, 21 sino sus descendientes que habían quedado después de ellos en la tierra, a quienes los hijos de Israel no pudieron exterminar), Salomón los sometió a tributo laboral, hasta el día de hoy. 22 Pero a ninguno de los hijos de Israel sometió a servidumbre; porque ellos eran hombres de guerra, sus servidores, sus oficiales, sus comandantes, los jefes de sus carros y sus jinetes. 23 Estos jefes de los oficiales que Salomón tenía sobre la obra eran quinientos cincuenta, los cuales mandaban sobre la gente que hacía la obra.

24 También la hija del faraón subió de la Ciudad de David a su casa que Salomón le había edificado. Luego él edificó el Milo.

25 Tres veces al año Salomón ofrecía holocaustos y sacrificios de paz sobre el altar que había edificado al SEÑOR, y quemaba incienso[c] delante del SEÑOR, cuando había terminado el templo.

26 El rey Salomón también construyó una flota en Ezión-geber, que está junto a Eilat, a orillas del mar Rojo, en la tierra de Edom. 27 Hiram envió en la flota a sus siervos, marineros y conocedores del mar, junto con los siervos de Salomón. 28 Estos fueron a Ofir y tomaron de allí catorce mil kilos de oro, y los llevaron al rey Salomón.
