1 Kings 9:15-28
New English Translation

15 Here are the details concerning the work crews[a] King Solomon conscripted[b] to build the Lord’s temple, his palace, the terrace, the wall of Jerusalem, and the cities of[c] Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer. 16 (Pharaoh, king of Egypt, had attacked and captured Gezer. He burned it and killed the Canaanites who lived in the city. He gave it as a wedding present to his daughter, who had married Solomon.) 17 Solomon built up Gezer, lower Beth Horon, 18 Baalath, Tadmor in the wilderness,[d] 19 all the storage cities that belonged to him,[e] and the cities where chariots and horses were kept.[f] He built whatever he wanted in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout his entire kingdom.[g] 20 Now several non-Israelite peoples were left in the land after the conquest of Joshua, including the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.[h] 21 Their descendants remained in the land (the Israelites were unable to wipe them out completely). Solomon conscripted them for his work crews, and they continue in that role to this very day.[i] 22 Solomon did not assign Israelites to these work crews;[j] the Israelites served as his soldiers, attendants, officers, charioteers, and commanders of his chariot forces.[k] 23 These men were also in charge of Solomon’s work projects; there were a total of 550 men who supervised the workers.[l] 24 Solomon built the terrace as soon as Pharaoh’s daughter moved up from the City of David[m] to the palace Solomon built for her.[n]

25 Three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings[o] on the altar he had built for the Lord, burning incense along with them before the Lord. He made the temple his official worship place.[p]

26 King Solomon also built ships[q] in Ezion Geber, which is located near Elat in the land of Edom, on the shore of the Red Sea. 27 Hiram sent his fleet and some of his sailors, who were well acquainted with the sea, to serve with Solomon’s men.[r] 28 They sailed[s] to Ophir, took from there 420 talents[t] of gold, and then brought them to King Solomon.

1 Kings 9:15-28
American Standard Version

15 And this is the [a]reason of the [b]levy which king Solomon raised, to build the house of Jehovah, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer. 16 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 portion unto his daughter, Solomon’s wife. 17 And Solomon built Gezer, and Beth-horon the nether, 18 and Baalath, and [c]Tamar in the wilderness, in the land, 19 and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion. 20 As for all the people that were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel; 21 their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able [d]utterly to destroy, of them did Solomon raise [e]a levy of bondservants unto this day. 22 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondservants; but they were the men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.

23 These were the chief officers that were over Solomon’s work, five hundred and fifty, who 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 Jehovah, burning incense therewith, upon the altar that was before Jehovah. So he finished the house.

26 And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezion-geber, 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.
