Melachim Alef 9
Orthodox Jewish Bible
9 And it came to pass, when Sh’lomo had completed the building of the Beis Hashem, and the Bais HaMelech, and all Sh’lomo’s desire which he was pleased to do,
2 That Hashem appeared to Sh’lomo the second time, as He had appeared unto him at Giveon.
3 And Hashem said unto him, I have heard thy tefillah and thy techinnah, that thou hast made before Me; I have set apart as kodesh this Beis [HaMikdash], which thou hast built, to put Shemi there ad olam; and Mine eyes and Mine lev shall be there kol hayamim.
4 And if thou wilt walk before Me, just as Dovid Avicha walked, in tohm (integrity, guilelessness) of lev, and in yashar, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and will be shomer over My chukkot and My mishpatim;
5 Then I will establish the kisse (throne) of thy kingdom over Yisroel l’olam, as I promised to Dovid Avicha, saying, There shall not yikaret (be cut off, fail) thee an ish upon the Kisse Yisroel.
6 But if ye shall at all turn from following Me, ye or your banim, and will not be shomer over My mitzvot and My chukkot which I have set before you, but go and serve elohim acherim, and hishtachaveh (worship) them;
7 Then will I cut off Yisroel out of the adamah which I have given them; and this Beis [HaMikdash], which I have set apart as kodesh for Shemi, will I cast out of My sight; and Yisroel shall be a mashal (proverb) and a sheninah (taunt, byword) among kol ha’ammim;
8 And at this Beis, which is elyon, every one that passeth by it shall be appalled, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath Hashem done thus unto HaAretz Hazot, and to this Beis?
9 And they shall answer, Because they forsook Hashem Eloheichem who brought forth their avot out of Eretz Mitzrayim, and have taken hold upon elohim acherim, and have worshiped them, and served them; therefore hath Hashem brought upon them all this ra’ah.
10 And it came to pass at the end of esrim shanim, when Sh’lomo had built the two batim, the Beis Hashem, and the Bais HaMelech,
11 (Now Chiram Melech Tzor had furnished Sh’lomo with cedar trees and cypress trees, and with zahav, according to all his desire), that then HaMelech Sh’lomo gave Chiram esrim ir (twenty towns) in Eretz HaGalil.
12 And Chiram came out from Tzor (Tyre) to see the towns which Sh’lomo had given him; and they pleased him not.
13 And he said, What towns are these which thou hast given me, achi (my brother)? And he called them Eretz Kavul unto this day.
14 And Chiram sent to HaMelech 120 talents of zahav.
15 And this is the account of the mas (forced labor) which HaMelech Sh’lomo conscripted; to build the Beis Hashem, and his own Bais, and Millo, and the Chomat Yerushalayim, and Chatzor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
16 For Pharaoh Melech Mitzrayim had gone up, and captured Gezer, and burned it with eish, and slain the Kena’ani that dwelt in the ir, and given it for shilluchim (going-away presents) unto his bat eshet Sh’lomo.
17 And Sh’lomo rebuilt Gezer, and Lower Beit Choron,
18 And Baalat, and Tadmor in the midbar, in the land,
19 And all the storage cities that Sh’lomo had, and cities for his merkavot, and cities for his parashim (calvary), and that which Sh’lomo desired to build in Yerushalayim, and in Levanon, and in all the eretz of his memshalet.
20 And kol haAm that were left of HaEmori (the Amorites), HaChitti (Hittites), HaPerizzi (Perizzites), HaChivi (Hivites), and Yevusi (Jebusites), which were not of the Bnei Yisroel,
21 Their banim that were left after them in HaAretz, whom the Bnei Yisroel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did Sh’lomo conscript mas of oved (bondservice) unto this day.
22 But of the Bnei Yisroel did Sh’lomo make no eved; but they were anshei hamilchamah, and his avadim, and his sarim, and his shalishim (captains), and commanders of his merkavot, and his parashim.
23 These were the chief of the officials that were over the melakhah (work) of Sh’lomo five hundred and fifty, harodim (the ones supervising) the people that wrought in the melakhah.
24 But Bat Pharaoh came up out of the Ir Dovid unto her Bais (Palace) which Sh’lomo had built for her; then did he build the Millo.
25 And three times in shanah did Sh’lomo offer olot and shelamim upon the Mizbe’ach which he built unto Hashem and he burned ketoret upon the Mizbe’ach that was before Hashem. So he completed the Beis.
26 And HaMelech Sh’lomo built a fleet of oniyyot in Etzyon-Gever, which is near Eilat, on the shore of the Yam Suf, in Eretz Edom.
27 And Chiram sent to the fleet of oniyyot his avadim, anshei oniyyot (shipmen, sailors) that had da’as hayam (knowledge of the sea), with the avadim of Sh’lomo.
28 And they came to Ophir, and brought back from there zahav, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to HaMelech Sh’lomo.
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.

Pacto del Señor con Salomón(A)
9 Cuando Salomón terminó de construir el templo del Señor, su propio palacio y todo lo que pensó hacer, 2 el Señor se le apareció por segunda vez, como ya lo había hecho en Gabaón,(B) 3 y le dijo:
«He escuchado las oraciones y ruegos que has hecho ante mí, y he santificado el templo que tú construiste para que mi nombre esté siempre allí, y allí estarán siempre presentes mi corazón y mis ojos. 4 Si tú te conduces como tu padre David, que me honró de todo corazón y fue justo, y cumples con todo lo que yo te he mandado, y obedeces mis estatutos y decretos, 5 yo afirmaré tu reinado sobre mi pueblo Israel, porque así se lo prometí a tu padre. Yo le dije: “Nunca faltará un descendiente tuyo en el trono de Israel.”(C)
6 »Pero si ustedes, y los hijos de ustedes, se rebelan y se empeñan en apartarse de mí, y desobedecen los mandamientos y estatutos que he puesto ante ustedes, y se van a servir y adorar a dioses ajenos, 7 yo arrancaré al pueblo de Israel de la tierra que le di por herencia, y abandonaré este templo que fue edificado en mi honor y que yo consagré, y todas las naciones se burlarán de Israel. 8 La gente que pase frente a este templo, que yo tenía en gran estima, se asombrará y se burlará, y dirá: “¿Por qué el Señor ha tratado tan mal a esta tierra y a este templo?”(D) 9 Y se le responderá: “Es que abandonaron al Señor su Dios, que sacó de Egipto a sus antepasados, y ellos prefirieron adorar y servir a dioses ajenos. Por eso el Señor los ha castigado.”»
Otras actividades de Salomón(E)
10 Veinte años después de que Salomón construyó el templo del Señor y su palacio real, 11 para los que el rey Jirán de Tiro le entregó mucha madera de cedro y de ciprés, y todo el oro que quiso, el rey Salomón le regaló a Jirán, en agradecimiento, veinte ciudades en la tierra de Galilea. 12 Jirán salió entonces de Tiro para ver las ciudades que Salomón le había regalado, pero cuando las vio no le gustaron, 13 así que le dijo a Salomón: «Hermano, ¿por qué me has dado estas ciudades tan feas?» Y les puso por nombre «Tierras de Cabul»,[a] que es el nombre que hasta hoy conservan.
14 Como Jirán había enviado a Salomón tres mil novecientos sesenta kilos de oro, 15 Salomón impuso trabajo obligatorio para edificar el templo del Señor y el palacio real, Milo y la muralla de Jerusalén, y Jazor, Meguido y Guézer. 16 Tiempo atrás el faraón, es decir, el rey de Egipto, había arrasado la ciudad de Guézer y le había prendido fuego, matando a los cananeos que allí habitaban, y luego se la dio como dote a su hija, la mujer de Salomón. 17 Entonces Salomón mandó restaurar Guézer y Bet Jorón la de abajo; 18 también restauró Baalat y Tadmor, que están en el desierto, 19 y todas las ciudades donde Salomón guardaba las provisiones, las caballerizas donde tenía sus carros de combate, los cuarteles de la caballería y todo lo que Salomón quiso edificar en Jerusalén, en el Líbano y en toda la tierra bajo su dominio. 20 A los pueblos no israelitas que quedaron con vida, como los amorreos, hititas, ferezeos, jivitas y jebuseos, 21 y a sus descendientes que los israelitas no pudieron exterminar, Salomón les impuso tributo y hasta el día de hoy lo pagan. 22 Por el contrario, a ningún israelita le impuso Salomón trabajo alguno, aunque sí los enroló en su ejército o los puso a su servicio como jefes, capitanes y comandantes de sus carros de combate, o como jinetes.
23 El total de los hombres que Salomón nombró jefes y capataces de las obras de construcción fue de quinientos cincuenta, los cuales supervisaban a la gente que trabajaba en la construcción.
24 La hija del faraón salió de la ciudad de David y se fue al palacio que Salomón había mandado construir para ella; y Salomón mandó edificar Milo.
25 Tres veces al año(F) Salomón ofrecía holocaustos y ofrendas de reconciliación sobre el altar de bronce que mandó construir en el templo en honor al Señor. Después de que el templo quedó terminado, Salomón quemaba allí incienso al Señor.
26 En Ezión Guéber, puerto que está cerca de Elat, a orillas del Mar Rojo, en el territorio de Edom, Salomón mandó construir naves. 27 En esas naves Jirán envió a sus oficiales y marinos experimentados, junto con los oficiales de Salomón, 28 y fueron a Ofir y volvieron con las naves cargadas con catorce mil kilos de oro, mismos que llevaron al rey Salomón.
