Otras actividades de Salomón(A)
8 Pasaron veinte años después de haber construido Salomón el templo del Señor y su propio palacio, 2 y entonces reconstruyó las ciudades que Hiram le había entregado e instaló a los israelitas en ellas.
3 Después marchó contra Hamat de Sobá, y se apoderó de ella. 4 También reconstruyó Tadmor, en el desierto, y todas las ciudades donde almacenaba los alimentos, las cuales había construido en Hamat. 5 Igualmente reconstruyó Bet-horón de arriba y Bet-horón de abajo, ciudades fortificadas, con murallas, puertas y barras, 6 y también a Baalat y demás ciudades donde almacenaba los alimentos, todos los cuarteles de los carros de combate, los cuarteles de la caballería y todo lo que quiso construir en Jerusalén, en el Líbano y en todo el territorio bajo su dominio. 7 En cuanto a los habitantes hititas, amorreos, heveos, ferezeos y jebuseos que quedaron, los cuales no eran israelitas, 8 es decir, a sus descendientes que quedaron después de ellos en el país y que los israelitas no exterminaron, Salomón los sometió a trabajos forzados, y así siguen hasta el día de hoy. 9 Pero no obligó a ningún israelita a servir como esclavo en sus obras, sino como soldados, jefes, capitanes y comandantes de los carros de combate y de la caballería. 10 En cuanto a los capataces que el rey Salomón tenía, eran doscientos cincuenta.
11 Salomón trasladó a la hija del faraón de la Ciudad de David al palacio que Salomón había edificado para ella, porque pensó que su esposa no debía vivir en el palacio de David, rey de Israel, ya que los lugares donde había entrado el arca del Señor eran sagrados.
12 Salomón ofrecía al Señor holocaustos sobre el altar del Señor que había construido frente al vestíbulo del templo, 13 en los días en que había que ofrecerlos según la ley de Moisés, es decir, los sábados, en las fiestas de luna nueva y en las tres fiestas que se celebran al año: la de los panes sin levadura, la de las semanas y la de las Enramadas.
14 También estableció los turnos, según lo había dispuesto David, su padre, para que los sacerdotes hicieran su servicio y los levitas se encargaran de alabar al Señor y de colaborar con los sacerdotes en lo que se necesitara cada día. Y también los turnos de los porteros en cada puerta, porque así lo había ordenado David, hombre de Dios. 15 Así pues, no se apartaron en ningún momento de las disposiciones del rey David en cuanto a los sacerdotes, los levitas y la tesorería. 16 Todo lo que Salomón tenía que realizar, se llevó a cabo, desde el día en que se pusieron los cimientos del templo hasta su terminación. El templo del Señor quedó perfectamente terminado.
17 Salomón fue, entonces, a Esión-guéber y a Elat, a orilla del mar, en el territorio de Edom. 18 Hiram, por medio de sus oficiales, le envió barcos y hombres a su servicio, conocedores del mar, que fueron junto con los oficiales de Salomón, y llegaron a Ofir, de donde tomaron casi quince mil kilos de oro y se los llevaron al rey Salomón.

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.

King James Version
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 Hamathzobah, 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 Bethhoron the upper, and Bethhoron 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 Eziongeber, 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.
