Salomos Unternehmungen und sein Gottesdienst
8 Und es geschah, als die 20 Jahre verflossen waren, in denen Salomo das Haus des Herrn und sein eigenes Haus gebaut hatte,
2 da baute Salomo auch die Städte aus, die Huram dem Salomo gegeben hatte, und er ließ die Kinder Israels darin wohnen.
3 Und Salomo zog nach Hamat-Zoba und überwältigte es,
4 und er baute Tadmor in der Wüste [aus] und alle Vorratsstädte, die er in Hamat baute.
5 Er baute auch das obere Beth-Horon und das untere Beth-Horon [aus], feste Städte mit Mauern, Toren und Riegeln,
6 auch Baalat und alle Vorratsstädte, die Salomo gehörten, und alle Wagenstädte und Reiterstädte und alles, wozu Salomo Lust hatte zu bauen in Jerusalem und auf dem Libanon und im ganzen Land seiner Herrschaft.
7 Und alles Volk, das von den Hetitern, Amoritern, Pheresitern, Hewitern und Jebusitern übrig geblieben war und nicht zu Israel gehörte,
8 ihre Söhne, die im Land nach ihnen übrig geblieben waren, welche die Kinder Israels nicht vertilgt hatten, machte Salomo fronpflichtig bis zu diesem Tag.
9 Aber von den Kindern Israels machte er keine zu Leibeigenen für seine Arbeit, sondern sie waren seine Kriegsleute und Oberste seiner Wagenkämpfer und Oberste über seine Streitwagen und über seine Reiter.
10 Und die Zahl der Oberaufseher, die der König Salomo hatte, betrug 250; die geboten über das Volk.
11 Und Salomo brachte die Tochter des Pharao aus der Stadt Davids herauf in das Haus, das er für sie gebaut hatte. Denn er sprach: Meine Frau soll nicht im Haus Davids, des Königs von Israel, wohnen; denn die Stätten sind heilig, weil die Lade des Herrn hineingekommen ist!
12 Von da an opferte Salomo dem Herrn Brandopfer auf dem Altar des Herrn, den er vor der Halle gebaut hatte,
13 was an jedem Tag zu opfern war nach dem Gesetz Moses, an den Sabbaten und Neumonden und an den Festzeiten, dreimal im Jahr, nämlich am Fest der ungesäuerten Brote, am Wochenfest und am Laubhüttenfest.
14 Und er bestimmte die Abteilungen der Priester, wie sein Vater David sie geordnet hatte, zu ihrem Dienst, und die Leviten zu ihren Aufgaben, um zu loben und zu dienen vor den Priestern, wie es jeder Tag erforderte; und die Torhüter nach ihren Abteilungen zu jedem Tor; denn so hatte es David, der Mann Gottes, geboten.
15 Und sie wichen nicht ab vom Gebot des Königs betreffs der Priester und Leviten, in keinem Wort, auch hinsichtlich der Schätze nicht.
16 So kam das ganze Werk Salomos zustande, bis zu dem Tag, als das Haus des Herrn gegründet wurde, [und] bis zu seiner Vollendung, bis das Haus des Herrn vollständig fertig war.
17 Damals ging Salomo nach Ezjon-Geber und Elat, das am Ufer des Meeres liegt, im Land Edom.
18 Und Huram sandte ihm Schiffe durch seine Knechte, die sich auf dem Meer auskannten; die fuhren mit den Knechten Salomos nach Ophir und holten von dort 450 Talente Gold und brachten es dem König Salomo.

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.

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.
