Nuova apparizione divina
9 Quando Salomone ebbe terminato di costruire il tempio del Signore, la reggia e quanto aveva voluto attuare, 2 il Signore apparve per la seconda volta a Salomone, come gli era apparso in Gàbaon. 3 Il Signore gli disse: «Ho ascoltato la preghiera e la supplica che mi hai rivolto; ho santificato questa casa, che tu hai costruita perché io vi ponga il mio nome per sempre; i miei occhi e il mio cuore saranno rivolti verso di essa per sempre.
4 Se tu camminerai davanti a me, come vi camminò tuo padre, con cuore integro e con rettitudine, se adempirai quanto ti ho comandato e se osserverai i miei statuti e i miei decreti, 5 io stabilirò il trono del tuo regno su Israele per sempre, come ho promesso a Davide tuo padre: Non ti mancherà mai un uomo sul trono di Israele. 6 Ma se voi e i vostri figli vi allontanerete da me, se non osserverete i comandi e i decreti che io vi ho dati, se andrete a servire altri dei e a prostrarvi davanti ad essi, 7 eliminerò Israele dal paese che ho dato loro, rigetterò da me il tempio che ho consacrato al mio nome; Israele diventerà la favola e lo zimbello di tutti i popoli. 8 Riguardo a questo tempio, gia così eccelso, chiunque vi passerà vicino si stupirà e fischierà, domandandosi: Perché il Signore ha agito così con questo paese e con questo tempio? 9 Si risponderà: Perché hanno abbandonato il Signore loro Dio che aveva fatto uscire i loro padri dal paese d'Egitto, si sono legati a dei stranieri, prostrandosi davanti ad essi e servendoli; per questo il Signore ha fatto piombare su di loro tutta questa sciagura».
Scambio con Chiram
10 Venti anni dopo che Salomone aveva costruito i due edifici, il tempio del Signore e la reggia, 11 poiché Chiram, re di Tiro, aveva fornito a Salomone legname di cedro e legname di abete e oro a piacere, Salomone diede a Chiram venti villaggi nella regione della Galilea. 12 Chiram partì da Tiro per vedere i villaggi che Salomone gli aveva dati, ma non gli piacquero. 13 Perciò disse: «Sono questi i villaggi che tu mi hai dati, fratello mio?». Li chiamò paese di Kabul, nome ancora in uso. 14 Chiram mandò al re centoventi talenti d'oro.
Il lavoro forzato per la costruzione
15 Questa è l'occasione del lavoro forzato che reclutò il re Salomone per costruire il tempio, la reggia, il Millo, le mura di Gerusalemme, Cazor, Meghiddo, Ghezer. 16 Il faraone, re d'Egitto, con una spedizione aveva preso Ghezer, l'aveva data alle fiamme, aveva ucciso i Cananei che abitavano nella città e poi l'aveva assegnata in dote alla figlia, moglie di Salomone. 17 Salomone riedificò Ghezer, Bet-Coròn inferiore, 18 Baalat, Tamàr nel deserto del paese 19 e tutte le città di rifornimento che gli appartenevano, le città per i suoi carri, quelle per i suoi cavalli e quanto Salomone aveva voluto costruire in Gerusalemme, nel Libano e in tutto il territorio del suo dominio. 20 Quanti rimanevano degli Amorrei, degli Hittiti, dei Perizziti, degli Evei e dei Gebusei, che non appartenevano agli Israeliti, 21 e cioè i discendenti rimasti dopo di loro nel paese, coloro che gli Israeliti non erano riusciti a sterminare, Salomone li costrinse ai lavori forzati, e tale è ancora la loro condizione. 22 Ma degli Israeliti, Salomone non assoggettò nessuno alla schiavitù: costoro divennero suoi guerrieri, suoi ministri, suoi ufficiali, suoi scudieri, capi dei suoi carri e dei suoi cavalieri. 23 I capi dei prefetti, che dirigevano i lavori per Salomone, erano cinquecentocinquanta; essi sovrintendevano alla massa impiegata nei lavori.
24 Dopo che la figlia del faraone si trasferì dalla città di Davide alla casa che Salomone le aveva costruita, questi costruì il Millo.
Il servizio del tempio
25 Tre volte all'anno Salomone offriva olocausti e sacrifici di comunione sull'altare che aveva costruito per il Signore e bruciava incenso su quello che era davanti al Signore. Così terminò il tempio.
3. SALOMONE E IL COMMERCIO
Salomone armatore
26 Salomone costruì anche una flotta in Ezion-Gheber, cioè in Elat, sulla riva del Mare Rosso nella regione di Edom. 27 Chiram inviò sulle navi i suoi servi, marinai che conoscevano il mare, insieme con i servi di Salomone. 28 Andarono in Ofir, ove presero oro - quattrocentoventi talenti - e lo portarono al re Salomone.

Pacto de Dios con Salomón
9 Cuando Salomón terminó de edificar el templo del Señor, la casa del rey y todos los edificios que se propuso construir, 2-3 se le apareció el Señor por segunda vez (la primera vez fue en Gabaón), y le dijo: «He oído tu oración. Y he santificado el templo que has edificado, y he puesto mi nombre en él para siempre. Continuamente velaré sobre él y me gozaré.
4 »Y si tú vives en honestidad y verdad, como tu padre David, obedeciéndome siempre, 5 haré que tus descendientes sean reyes de Israel para siempre, tal como prometí a David, tu padre, cuando le dije: “Uno de tus hijos será siempre rey sobre el trono de Israel”.
6 »Sin embargo, si tú o tus hijos se apartan de mí y adoran a dioses extraños, y no obedecen mis leyes, 7 yo arrancaré al pueblo de Israel de esta tierra que les he dado. Los arrancaré de este templo que he santificado para mi nombre y los echaré fuera de mi vista; e Israel será el centro de las burlas de las naciones, ejemplo y proverbio de un desastre repentino. 8 Este templo se transformará en un montón de ruinas, y todo el que pase quedará asombrado y se burlará preguntando: “¿Por qué el Señor ha hecho esto a esta tierra y a este templo?”. 9 Y la respuesta será: “Porque el pueblo de Israel abandonó al Señor su Dios, que los sacó de la tierra de Egipto, y adoraron a otros dioses, en lugar de adorarlo a él. Por esta razón el Señor ha traído todo este mal sobre ellos”».
Otras actividades de Salomón
10 Al final de los veinte años que tardó la construcción del templo del Señor y su propia casa, 11-12 Salomón le dio veinte ciudades de la tierra de Galilea al rey Hiram, de Tiro, a manera de pago por el cedro, el pino y el oro que le había provisto para las construcciones. Hiram vino de Tiro para ver las ciudades, pero no le gustaron. 13 Así que le reprochó a Salomón: «¿Qué clase de trato es este, hermano mío? ¡Esas ciudades que me has dado no valen nada!». A esa región, Hiram le puso el nombre de Cabul (desierto), y así se conoce hasta hoy. 14 Hiram le había enviado a Salomón tres mil novecientos sesenta kilos de oro.
15 Salomón había establecido como trabajo obligatorio la edificación del templo del Señor, de su propia casa, del terraplén, del muro de Jerusalén, así como la reconstrucción de las ciudades de Jazor, Meguido y Guézer. 16 Guézer fue la ciudad que el rey de Egipto conquistó e incendió, dando muerte a los cananeos que allí vivían. Más tarde, cuando su hija se casó con Salomón, se la dio como regalo de bodas. 17-18 Por eso Salomón reedificó Guézer, junto con Bet Jorón la de abajo, Balat y Tadmor, que está en el desierto. 19 También edificó ciudades para almacenar alimentos, ciudades en las que guardaba sus carros de guerra, ciudades que sirvieron de habitación para sus jinetes y conductores de carros, y ciudades diversas cerca de Jerusalén, en la montaña del Líbano y en todo lugar de su dominio.
20-21 Salomón implantó el trabajo obligatorio para los que sobrevivieron de las naciones conquistadas: los amorreos, los hititas, los ferezeos, los heveos y los jebuseos. Como el pueblo de Israel no había podido expulsarlos por completo en el tiempo que invadieron la tierra y la conquistaron, ellos continuaron viviendo allí como esclavos hasta este día. 22 Salomón no obligó al trabajo forzado a los israelitas, pues eran sus hombres de guerra, sus siervos, sus príncipes, sus conductores de carros y jinetes. 23 Había también quinientos cincuenta hombres de Israel que eran supervisores de quienes estaban obligados a trabajar.
24 El rey Salomón trajo a la hija del faraón de la Ciudad de David, sector viejo de Jerusalén, a las nuevas habitaciones que había edificado para él. Luego edificó el terraplén.
25 Después que se terminó de construir el templo del Señor, Salomón ofrecía holocaustos y sacrificio de paz tres veces al año en el altar que había edificado al Señor. También ofrecía el incienso en él.
26 El rey Salomón mandó a construir una flota de barcos en Ezión Guéber, cerca de Elat, en la región de Edom, a orillas del Mar Rojo.
27-28 El rey Hiram le proporcionó navegantes experimentados para que acompañaran a las tripulaciones de Salomón. Fueron a Ofir, de donde regresaron con unos catorce mil kilos de oro para el rey Salomón.
1 Kings 9
King James Version
1 Kings 9
King James Version
9 And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,
2 That the Lord appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon.
3 And the Lord said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.
4 And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments:
5 Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.
6 But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them:
7 Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:
8 And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and to this house?
9 And they shall answer, Because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the Lord brought upon them all this evil.
10 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the Lord, and the king's house,
11 (Now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire,) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
12 And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not.
13 And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul unto this day.
14 And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.
15 And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised; for to build the house of the Lord, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
16 For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for a present unto his daughter, Solomon's wife.
17 And Solomon built Gezer, and Bethhoron the nether,
18 And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,
19 And all the cities of store that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
20 And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel,
21 Their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did Solomon levy a tribute of bondservice unto this day.
22 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen: but they were men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots, and his horsemen.
23 These were the chief of the officers that were over Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, which bare rule over the people that wrought in the work.
24 But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Millo.
25 And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he built unto the Lord, and he burnt incense upon the altar that was before the Lord. So he finished the house.
26 And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom.
27 And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
28 And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.

The Lord Appears to Solomon(A)
9 When Solomon had finished(B) building the temple of the Lord and the royal palace, and had achieved all he had desired to do, 2 the Lord appeared(C) to him a second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon. 3 The Lord said to him:
“I have heard(D) the prayer and plea you have made before me; I have consecrated this temple, which you have built, by putting my Name(E) there forever. My eyes(F) and my heart will always be there.
4 “As for you, if you walk before me faithfully with integrity of heart(G) and uprightness, as David(H) your father did, and do all I command and observe my decrees and laws,(I) 5 I will establish(J) your royal throne over Israel forever, as I promised David your father when I said, ‘You shall never fail(K) to have a successor on the throne of Israel.’
6 “But if you[a] or your descendants turn away(L) from me and do not observe the commands and decrees I have given you[b] and go off to serve other gods(M) and worship them, 7 then I will cut off Israel from the land(N) I have given them and will reject this temple I have consecrated for my Name.(O) Israel will then become a byword(P) and an object of ridicule(Q) among all peoples. 8 This temple will become a heap of rubble. All[c] who pass by will be appalled(R) and will scoff and say, ‘Why has the Lord done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’(S) 9 People will answer,(T) ‘Because they have forsaken(U) the Lord their God, who brought their ancestors out of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—that is why the Lord brought all this disaster(V) on them.’”
Solomon’s Other Activities(W)
10 At the end of twenty years, during which Solomon built these two buildings—the temple of the Lord and the royal palace— 11 King Solomon gave twenty towns in Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, because Hiram had supplied him with all the cedar and juniper and gold(X) he wanted. 12 But when Hiram went from Tyre to see the towns that Solomon had given him, he was not pleased with them. 13 “What kind of towns are these you have given me, my brother?” he asked. And he called them the Land of Kabul,[d](Y) a name they have to this day. 14 Now Hiram had sent to the king 120 talents[e] of gold.(Z)
15 Here is the account of the forced labor King Solomon conscripted(AA) to build the Lord’s temple, his own palace, the terraces,[f](AB) the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor,(AC) Megiddo and Gezer.(AD) 16 (Pharaoh king of Egypt had attacked and captured Gezer. He had set it on fire. He killed its Canaanite inhabitants and then gave it as a wedding gift to his daughter,(AE) Solomon’s wife. 17 And Solomon rebuilt Gezer.) He built up Lower Beth Horon,(AF) 18 Baalath,(AG) and Tadmor[g] in the desert, within his land, 19 as well as all his store cities(AH) and the towns for his chariots(AI) and for his horses[h]—whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon and throughout all the territory he ruled.
20 There were still people left from the Amorites, Hittites,(AJ) Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites(AK) (these peoples were not Israelites). 21 Solomon conscripted the descendants(AL) of all these peoples remaining in the land—whom the Israelites could not exterminate[i](AM)—to serve as slave labor,(AN) as it is to this day. 22 But Solomon did not make slaves(AO) of any of the Israelites; they were his fighting men, his government officials, his officers, his captains, and the commanders of his chariots and charioteers. 23 They were also the chief officials(AP) in charge of Solomon’s projects—550 officials supervising those who did the work.
24 After Pharaoh’s daughter(AQ) had come up from the City of David to the palace Solomon had built for her, he constructed the terraces.(AR)
25 Three(AS) times a year Solomon sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings on the altar he had built for the Lord, burning incense before the Lord along with them, and so fulfilled the temple obligations.
26 King Solomon also built ships(AT) at Ezion Geber,(AU) which is near Elath(AV) in Edom, on the shore of the Red Sea.[j] 27 And Hiram sent his men—sailors(AW) who knew the sea—to serve in the fleet with Solomon’s men. 28 They sailed to Ophir(AX) and brought back 420 talents[k] of gold,(AY) which they delivered to King Solomon.

God’s Second Appearance to Solomon(A)
9 And (B)it came to pass, when Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord (C)and the king’s house, and (D)all Solomon’s desire which he wanted to do, 2 that the Lord appeared to Solomon the second time, (E)as He had appeared to him at Gibeon. 3 And the Lord said to him: (F)“I have heard your prayer and your supplication that you have made before Me; I have consecrated this house which you have built (G)to put My name there forever, (H)and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually. 4 Now if you (I)walk before Me (J)as your father David walked, in integrity of heart and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you (K)keep My statutes and My judgments, 5 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, (L)as I promised David your father, saying, ‘You shall not fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.’ 6 (M)But if you or your sons at all [a]turn from following Me, and do not keep My commandments and My statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods and worship them, 7 (N)then I will [b]cut off Israel from the land which I have given them; and this house which I have consecrated (O)for My name I will cast out of My sight. (P)Israel will be a proverb and a byword among all peoples. 8 And as for (Q)this house, which is exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and will hiss, and say, (R)‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house?’ 9 Then they will answer, ‘Because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, and worshiped them and served them; therefore the Lord has brought all this (S)calamity on them.’ ”
Solomon and Hiram Exchange Gifts
10 Now (T)it happened at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the Lord and the king’s house 11 (U)(Hiram the king of Tyre had supplied Solomon with cedar and cypress and gold, as much as he desired), that King Solomon then gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee. 12 Then Hiram went from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him, but they did not please him. 13 So he said, “What kind of cities are these which you have given me, my brother?” (V)And he called them the land of [c]Cabul, as they are to this day. 14 Then Hiram sent the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold.
Solomon’s Additional Achievements(W)
15 And this is the reason for (X)the labor force which King Solomon raised: to build the house of the Lord, his own house, [d]the (Y)Millo, the wall of Jerusalem, (Z)Hazor, (AA)Megiddo, and (AB)Gezer. 16 (Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and taken Gezer and burned it with fire, (AC)had killed the Canaanites who dwelt in the city, and had given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.) 17 And Solomon built Gezer, Lower (AD)Beth Horon, 18 (AE)Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land of Judah, 19 all the storage cities that Solomon had, cities for (AF)his chariots and cities for his (AG)cavalry, and whatever Solomon (AH)desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
20 (AI)All the people who were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel— 21 that is, their descendants (AJ)who were left in the land after them, (AK)whom the children of Israel had not been able to destroy completely—(AL)from these Solomon raised (AM)forced labor, as it is to this day. 22 But of the children of Israel Solomon (AN)made no forced laborers, because they were men of war and his servants: his officers, his captains, commanders of his chariots, and his cavalry.
23 Others were chiefs of the officials who were over Solomon’s work: (AO)five hundred and fifty, who ruled over the people who did the work.
24 But (AP)Pharaoh’s daughter came up from the City of David to (AQ)her house which [e]Solomon had built for her. (AR)Then he built the Millo.
25 (AS)Now three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he had built for the Lord, and he burned incense with them on the altar that was before the Lord. So he finished the temple.
26 (AT)King Solomon also built a fleet of ships at (AU)Ezion Geber, which is near [f]Elath on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom. 27 (AV)Then Hiram sent his servants with the fleet, seamen who knew the sea, to work with the servants of Solomon. 28 And they went to (AW)Ophir, and acquired four hundred and twenty talents of gold from there, and brought it to King Solomon.
