4 And King Solomon was king over all Israel.
2 And these were his princes: Azariah the son of Zadok the Priest,
3 Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha were scribes. Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the recorder.
4 Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the army. And Zadok and Abiathar were Priests.
5 And Azariah, the son of Nathan, was over the officers. And Zabud the son of Nathan, Priest, was the king’s friend.
6 And Ahishar was over the household. And Adoniram, the son of Abda, was over the tribute.
7 And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided food for the king and his household: each man had a month in the year to provide food.
8 And these are their names: the son of Hur on mount Ephraim,
9 the son of Deker in Makaz and Shaalbim and Beth Shemesh and Elon and Beth Hanan,
10 the son of Hesed in Arubboth (to whom belonged Sochoh and all the land of Hepher),
11 the son of Abinadab in all the region of Dor (who had Taphath, the daughter of Solomon, as a wife),
12 Baana, the son of Ahilud in Taanach, Megiddo, and all Beth Shean (which is by Zaretan, beneath Jezreel, from Beth Shean to Abel Meholah, as far as the other side of Jokneam,
13 the son of Geber in Ramoth Gilead (and his were the towns of Jair), the son of Manasseh (who are in Gilead), and under him was the region of Argob (which is in Bashan, sixty great cities with walls and bars of bronze),
14 Ahinadab, the son of Iddo, in Mahanaim,
15 Ahimaaz in Naphtali (and he took Basemath, the daughter of Solomon, as a wife),
16 Baanah, the son of Hushai, in Asher and Aloth,
17 Jehoshaphat, the son of Paruah, in Issachar,
18 Shimei, the son of Elah, in Benjamin,
19 Geber, the son of Uri, in the country of Gilead, the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king of Bashan (and was officer alone in the land).
20 Judah and Israel were many—as the sand of the sea in number—eating, drinking and making merry.
21 And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms, from the river to the land of the Philistines to the border of Egypt. And they brought presents and served Solomon all the days of his life.
22 And Solomon’s food for one day were thirty measures of fine flour, sixty measures of meal,
23 ten fat oxen, twenty oxen of the pastures, and a hundred sheep (besides deer, bucks, gazelles, and fat fowl).
24 For he ruled in all the region on the other side of the river, from Tiphsah to Gaza, over all the kings on the other side the river. And he had peace all around him on every side.
25 And Judah and Israel dwelt without fear, each man under his vine, and under his fig tree, from Dan to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.
26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
27 And these officers provided food for King Solomon, and for all who came to King Solomon’s table, every man his month. They lacked nothing.
28 Also, they brought barley and straw for the horses and mules to the place where the officers were, every man according to his charge.
29 And God gave Solomon very much wisdom and understanding and a large heart, as the sand that is on the seashore.
30 And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the East, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
31 For he was wiser than any man: Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, Chalcol, or Darda, the sons of Mahol. And he was famous throughout all nations all around.
32 And Solomon spoke three thousand proverbs and a thousand five songs.
33 And he spoke of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon to the hyssop that springs out of the wall. He also spoke of beasts, and of birds, and of creeping things, and of fish.
34 And people came from all nations to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the Earth who had heard of his wisdom.
5 And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent his servants to Solomon (for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father) because Hiram had always loved David.
2 And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
3 “You know that David, my father, could not build a House to the Name of the LORD his God because of the wars which were around him on every side, until the LORD had put them under the soles of his feet.
4 “But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side. There is neither adversary nor evil to resist.
5 “And behold, I intend to build a House to the Name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to David my father, saying, ‘Your son, whom I will set upon your throne for you, he shall build a House to My Name.’
6 “Now, therefore, command that they cut me cedar trees out of Lebanon. And my servants shall be with your servants, and I will give you the wages for your servants, according to all that you shall appoint. For you know that there are none among us who can cut timber like the Sidonians!”
7 And when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly, and said, “Blessed be the LORD this day, Who has given David a wise son over this mighty people!”
8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, “I have considered the things for which you sent to me, and will accomplish all your desire concerning the cedar trees and fir trees.
9 “My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea. And I will transport them by sea in rafts to the place that you shall tell me and will have them discharged there. And you shall receive them. And you shall do me the pleasure of ministering food for my family.”
10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees, his full desire.
11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of beaten oil. Thus, Solomon gave much to Hiram year after year.
12 And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as He promised him. And there was peace between Hiram and Solomon. And those two made a covenant.
13 And King Solomon raised a sum from all Israel. And the sum was thirty thousand men,
14 whom he sent to Lebanon, ten thousand a month, changing regularly. They were a month in Lebanon, and two months at home. And Adoniram was over the sum.
15 And Solomon had seventy thousand who bore burdens, and eighty thousand masons on the mountain
16 (besides the princes whom Solomon appointed over the work, three thousand three hundred, who ruled the people who fashioned the work).
17 And the king commanded them, and they brought great stones and costly stones to make the foundations of the House: hewn stones.
18 And Solomon’s workmen and the workmen of Hiram and the masons cut and prepared timber and stones for the building of the House.
2 And you were dead in trespasses and sins
2 (wherein you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the authority of the ruler of the air, even the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,
3 among whom all of us also once lived in the lusts of our flesh, in fulfilling the will of the flesh, and of the mind; and were, by nature, the children of wrath, just as the rest).
4 But God, Who is rich in mercy, through His great love with which He loved us,
5 even when we were dead by sins, has quickened us together in Christ (by grace you are saved)
6 and has raised us up together and made us sit together in the Heavenly places in Christ Jesus;
7 so that He might show, in the ages to come, the exceeding riches of His grace through His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are you saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves. It is the gift from God
9 (not of works, lest anyone should boast).
10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works; which God has ordained, so that we would walk in them.
11 Therefore, remember that you, being formerly Gentiles in the flesh (the ones called “uncircumcision” by those called “circumcision” in the flesh, made with hands),
12 that you were, at that time, without Christ; and were aliens from the commonwealth of Israel; and were strangers to the covenants of the promise; and had no hope; and were without God in the world.
13 But now, in Christ Jesus, you who were once far off, are made near by the blood of Christ.
14 For He is our peace. He has made of both, one, and has broken the barrier of hostility;
15 having annulled (through His flesh) the Law of Commandments contained in Ordinances, in order to make (in Himself) one new man from the two. And so, make peace,
16 so that He might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, and thereby slay hostility.
17 And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off, and to those who were near.
18 For through Him we both have access to the Father, by one Spirit.
19 Now therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20 having been built upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the Chief Cornerstone.
21 In Him, all the building, fitted together, grows into a holy Temple in the Lord.
22 In Him, you also are being built together, to be the habitation of God by the Spirit.
35 Moreover, the Word of the LORD came to me, saying:
2 “Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3 “and say to it, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, O Mount Seir, I come against you. And I will stretch out My Hand against you; and I will make you desolate and waste.
4 “I will lay your cities waste; and you shall be desolate; and you shall know that I am the LORD.
5 “Because you have had a perpetual hatred —and have put the children of Israel to flight by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, when iniquity had ended —
6 “therefore, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I will prepare you for blood; and blood shall pursue you. Since you have not hated blood, blood shall pursue you.
7 “Thus will I make Mount Seir desolate and waste and cut off from it him who passes out and him who returns.
8 “And I will fill his mountains with his slain men. In your hills and in your valleys and in all your rivers shall they fall who are killed with the sword.
9 “I will make you perpetual desolations; and your cities shall not return. And you shall know that I am the LORD.
10 “Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two countries shall be mine; and we will possess them’ (seeing the LORD was there),
11 “therefore, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I will do according to your wrath, and according to your indignation, which you have used in your hatred against them. And I will make Myself known among them when I have judged you.
12 “And you shall know that I, the LORD, have heard all the blasphemies which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They lie waste! They are given us to be devoured!’
13 “Thus with your mouths you have boasted against Me. And I have multiplied your words against Me. I have heard.”
14 ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “So shall all the world rejoice when I shall make you desolate.
15 “As you rejoiced at the inheritance of the House of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do to you. You shall be desolate, O Mount Seir, and all Idumea wholly! And they shall know that I am the LORD.”’
85 LORD, You have been favorable to Your land. You have brought back the captives of Jacob.
2 You have forgiven the iniquity of Your people and covered all their sins. Selah.
3 You have withdrawn all Your anger and have turned back from the fierceness of Your wrath.
4 Turn us, O God of Our Salvation, and release Your anger toward us.
5 Will You be angry with us forever? Will You prolong Your wrath from one generation to another?
6 Will You not turn again and quicken us, so that Your people may rejoice in You?
7 Show us Your mercy, O LORD, and grant us Your salvation.
8 I will listen to what the LORD God will say. For He will speak peace to His people, and to His saints, so that they do not turn again to folly.
9 Surely, His salvation is near to those who fear Him, so that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Mercy and truth shall meet, righteousness and peace shall kiss.
11 Truth shall bud out of the Earth and righteousness shall look down from Heaven.
12 Indeed, the LORD shall give good things and our land shall give her increase.
13 Righteousness shall go before Him and shall set her steps in the way. A prayer of David
