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.

8 Y ACONTECIÓ que al cabo de veinte años que Salomón había edificado la casa de Jehová y su casa,
2 Reedificó Salomón las ciudades que Hiram le había dado, y estableció en ellas á los hijos de Israel.
3 Después vino Salomón á Amath de Soba, y la tomó.
4 Y edificó á Tadmor en el desierto, y todas las ciudades de municiones que edificó en Hamath.
5 Asimismo reedificó á Beth-oron la de arriba, y á Beth-oron la de abajo, ciudades fortificadas, de muros, puertas, y barras;
6 Y á Baalath, y á todas las villas de munición que Salomón tenía; también todas las ciudades de los carros y las de la gente de á caballo; y todo lo que Salomón quiso edificar en Jerusalem, y en el Líbano, y en toda la tierra de su señorío.
7 Y á todo el pueblo que había quedado de los Hetheos, Amorrheos, Pherezeos, Heveos, y Jebuseos, que no eran de Israel,
8 Los hijos de los que habían quedado en la tierra después de ellos, á los cuales los hijos de Israel no destruyeron del todo, hizo Salomón tributarios hasta hoy.
9 Y de los hijos de Israel no puso Salomón siervos en su obra; porque eran hombres de guerra, y sus príncipes y sus capitanes, y comandantes de sus carros, y su gente de á caballo.
10 Y tenía Salomón doscientos y cincuenta principales de los gobernadores, los cuales mandaban en aquella gente.
11 Y pasó Salomón á la hija de Faraón, de la ciudad de David á la casa que él le había edificado; porque dijo: Mi mujer no morará en la casa de David rey de Israel, porque aquellas habitaciones donde ha entrado el arca de Jehová, son sagradas.
12 Entonces ofreció Salomón holocaustos á Jehová sobre el altar de Jehová, que había él edificado delante del pórtico,
13 Para que ofreciesen cada cosa en su día, conforme al mandamiento de Moisés, en los sábados, en las nuevas lunas, y en las solemnidades, tres veces en el año, á saber, en la fiesta de los panes ázimos, en la fiesta de las semanas, y en la fiesta de las cabañas.
14 Y constituyó los repartimientos de los sacerdotes en sus oficios, conforme á la ordenación de David su padre; y los Levitas por sus órdenes, para que alabasen y ministrasen delante de los sacerdotes, cada cosa en su día; asimismo los porteros por su orden á cada puerta: porque así lo había mandado David, varón de Dios.
15 Y no salieron del mandamiento del rey, cuanto á los sacerdotes y Levitas, y los tesoros, y todo negocio:
16 Porque toda la obra de Salomón estaba preparada desde el día en que la casa de Jehová fué fundada hasta que se acabó, hasta que la casa de Jehová fué acabada del todo.
17 Entonces Salomón fué á Esion-geber, y á Eloth, á la costa de la mar en la tierra de Edom.
18 Porque Hiram le había enviado navíos por mano de sus siervos, y marineros diestros en la mar, los cuales fueron con los siervos de Salomón á Ophir, y tomaron de allá cuatrocientos y cincuenta talentos de oro, y los trajeron al rey Salomón.

Outros trabalhos e construções de Salomão(A)
8 Salomão levou vinte anos para construir o Templo e o seu próprio palácio. 2 Ele também reconstruiu as cidades que Hirão, rei de Tiro, lhe tinha dado e mandou israelitas morarem nelas.
3 Depois Salomão atacou e conquistou a cidade de Hamate-Zoba. 4 Reconstruiu a cidade de Tadmor, no deserto, e todas as cidades da região de Hamate onde ele guardava os mantimentos. 5 Reconstruiu também a Bete-Horom-de-Cima e a Bete-Horom-de-Baixo, que eram cidades protegidas por muralhas e por portões com trancas, 6 a cidade de Baalate, todas as cidades onde ele guardava os seus mantimentos e as cidades onde ficavam os seus carros de guerra e os seus cavalos. Além disso, Salomão construiu tudo mais que quis em Jerusalém, no Líbano e em outras partes do seu reino. 7-8 Tudo o que Salomão construiu foi feito com trabalho forçado. Para isso ele usou os descendentes do povo de Canaã que os israelitas não haviam matado quando conquistaram o seu país. Entre esses trabalhadores forçados, estavam heteus, amorreus, perizeus, heveus e jebuseus. E os descendentes deles continuam como escravos até hoje. 9 Nenhum israelita foi obrigado a trabalhar como escravo. Os israelitas serviram como soldados, oficiais, capitães de carros de guerra e cavaleiros. 10 Havia duzentos e cinquenta oficiais que estavam encarregados dos trabalhadores forçados que eram usados nas várias construções de Salomão.
11 Salomão trouxe a sua esposa egípcia, a filha do rei do Egito, da Cidade de Davi para o palácio que ele, Salomão, havia construído para ela. Ele disse:
— Ela não pode morar no palácio de Davi, o rei de Israel, pois qualquer lugar em que esteve a arca da aliança é sagrado.
12 Salomão ofereceu a Deus, o Senhor, sacrifícios que foram completamente queimados no altar que ele havia construído para o Senhor em frente do Templo. 13 Ele ofereceu os sacrifícios de acordo com o que o mandamento de Moisés ordenava fazer nos dias santos, isto é, nos sábados, nas Festas da Lua Nova e nas três festas anuais, que eram a Festa dos Pães sem Fermento, a Festa da Colheita e a Festa das Barracas. 14 De acordo com a orientação dada por Davi, o seu pai, Salomão organizou os sacerdotes em grupos para fazerem o trabalho e também os levitas, que cantavam louvores a Deus e ajudavam os sacerdotes no trabalho de todos os dias. Também organizou os guardas em grupos, para os vários portões do Templo, tudo de acordo com as ordens de Davi, homem de Deus. 15 Os sacerdotes e os levitas obedeceram rigorosamente às ordens de Davi a respeito de todos os seus deveres e também a respeito da sala do tesouro do Templo.
16 Agora estava terminado tudo o que Salomão construiu, desde a colocação da pedra fundamental do Templo até o fim da sua construção. O Templo estava pronto.
17 Depois Salomão foi até os portos de Eziom-Geber e Elate, no golfo de Ácaba, no país de Edom. 18 O rei Hirão lhe mandou navios e marinheiros competentes, comandados pelos seus próprios oficiais. Eles navegaram junto com os homens de Salomão, foram até a terra de Ofir e trouxeram para Salomão mais de quinze mil quilos de ouro.

Solomon’s Other Activities(A)
8 At the end of twenty years, during which Solomon built the temple of the Lord and his own palace,(B) 2 Solomon rebuilt the villages that Hiram[a] had given him, and settled Israelites in them. 3 Solomon then went to Hamath Zobah and captured it. 4 He also built up Tadmor in the desert and all the store cities he had built in Hamath.(C) 5 He rebuilt Upper Beth Horon(D) and Lower Beth Horon as fortified cities, with walls and with gates and bars, 6 as well as Baalath(E) and all his store cities, and all the cities for his chariots and for his horses[b]—whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon and throughout all the territory he ruled.
7 There were still people left from the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites(F) (these people were not Israelites). 8 Solomon conscripted(G) the descendants of all these people remaining in the land—whom the Israelites had not destroyed—to serve as slave labor, as it is to this day. 9 But Solomon did not make slaves of the Israelites for his work; they were his fighting men, commanders of his captains, and commanders of his chariots and charioteers. 10 They were also King Solomon’s chief officials—two hundred and fifty officials supervising the men.
11 Solomon brought Pharaoh’s daughter(H) up from the City of David to the palace he had built for her, for he said, “My wife must not live in the palace of David king of Israel, because the places the ark of the Lord has entered are holy.”
12 On the altar(I) of the Lord that he had built in front of the portico, Solomon sacrificed burnt offerings to the Lord, 13 according to the daily requirement(J) for offerings commanded by Moses for the Sabbaths,(K) the New Moons(L) and the three(M) annual festivals—the Festival of Unleavened Bread,(N) the Festival of Weeks(O) and the Festival of Tabernacles.(P) 14 In keeping with the ordinance of his father David, he appointed the divisions(Q) of the priests for their duties, and the Levites(R) to lead the praise and to assist the priests according to each day’s requirement. He also appointed the gatekeepers(S) by divisions for the various gates, because this was what David the man of God(T) had ordered.(U) 15 They did not deviate from the king’s commands to the priests or to the Levites in any matter, including that of the treasuries.
16 All Solomon’s work was carried out, from the day the foundation of the temple of the Lord was laid until its completion. So the temple of the Lord was finished.
17 Then Solomon went to Ezion Geber and Elath on the coast of Edom. 18 And Hiram sent him ships commanded by his own men, sailors who knew the sea. These, with Solomon’s men, sailed to Ophir and brought back four hundred and fifty talents[c] of gold,(V) which they delivered to King Solomon.
