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.

8 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of the Lord, and his own house,
2 That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
3 And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, and prevailed against it.
4 And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath.
5 Also he built Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, and bars;
6 And Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion.
7 ¶ As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which were not of Israel,
8 But of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until this day.
9 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots and horsemen.
10 And these were the chief of king Solomon’s officers, even two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over the people.
11 ¶ And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, whereunto the ark of the Lord hath come.
12 ¶ Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the Lord on the altar of the Lord, which he had built before the porch,
13 Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.
14 ¶ And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise and minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required: the porters also by their courses at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded.
15 And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.
16 Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of the Lord, and until it was finished. So the house of the Lord was perfected.
17 ¶ Then went Solomon to Ezion-geber, and to Eloth, at the sea side in the land of Edom.
18 And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.

Salomos övriga byggnationer
8 Det hade nu gått tjugo år sedan Salomo blivit kung, och de stora byggnadsprojekten med Herrens tempel och hans eget kungliga palats var avslutade.
2 Nu fortsatte han med att återuppbygga de städer som kung Hiram från Tyrus hade gett honom, och han lät en del av Israels folk bosätta sig där.
3 Sedan gick han mot staden Hamat-Soba och intog den.
4 Han byggde Tadmor i öknen och städer i Hamat som fungerade som förrådsplatser.
5 Han befäste städerna Övre Bet-Horon och Nedre Bet-Horon och gjorde dem båda till förrådsplatser, byggde upp deras murar och satte dit portar och bommar.
6 Han byggde också upp Baalat och andra förrådsstäder och städer för sina vagnar och hästar. Han byggde allt efter sina egna planer, både i Jerusalem och i Libanon och över hela det område han behärskade.
7-8 De folk som fortfarande bodde i landet och som israeliterna inte hade lyckats fördriva använde han i slavarbete, och så har det varit sedan dess. Detta gällde hetiterna, amoreerna, perisseerna, hiveerna och jebuseerna.
9 Men ingen israelit fick bli slav, utan de togs i anspråk som soldater, officerare, uppsyningsmän över hans vagnar och hästar,
10 och till olika andra uppdrag. Han hade 250 män i olika tillsyningstjänster.
11 Salomo lät sin hustru, Faraos dotter, flytta från Davids stad till det nya palats som han hade byggt åt henne. Hon ska inte bo i kung Davids palats, för Herrens ark har varit där, och det är helig mark, sa han.
12 På altaret som Salomo låtit bygga framför ingången till templet bar han fram brännoffer till Herren.
13 Antalet offer bestämdes enligt de föreskrifter som Mose hade gett. Det var extra offer på sabbaterna, vid nymånadsfesterna och vid de tre årliga högtiderna, påskhögtiden, veckohögtiden och lövhyddohögtiden.
14 När Salomo utsåg präster till olika uppgifter, följde han sin far Davids plan. Han utsåg alltså leviter till att sjunga lovsången och att hjälpa prästerna i deras uppgifter, och han utsåg också dörrvaktare till de olika portarna.
15 Salomo avvek inte på något sätt från Davids föreskrifter beträffande detta eller när det gällde tjänstgöringen i skattkammare och förråd,
16 och han fullbordade alltså framgångsrikt tempelbygget.
17-18 Sedan for han till hamnstäderna Esjon-Geber och Elot i Edom för att ta emot skepp som han fått i gåva av kung Hiram. Dessa fartyg med kung Hirams erfarna besättningar och Salomos egna män seglade till Ofir och kom tillbaka med guld till en vikt av 450 talenter (ca 17 ton).
