And Solomon went up thither, unto the altar of bronze before Yahweh, which belonged to the tent of meeting, - and caused to go up thereon a thousand ascending-sacrifices.

And, the greater house, covered he with cypress wood, and overlaid it with fine gold, - and raised thereon palms, and wreathed garlands.

And he made a vail, of blue and purple, and crimson and byssus cloth, - and raised thereon cherubim.

for Solomon had made a platform of bronze, and had set it in the midst of the enclosure, five cubits, the length thereof, and, five cubits, the breadth thereof, and, three cubits, the height thereof,-and he stood thereon, and knelt upon his knees, in the presence of all the convocation of Israel, and spread forth his hands, heavenward;

And he took courage, and built all the wall that was broken down and carried up thereon towers, and, on the outside, another wall, and strengthened Millo, the city of David,-and made weapons in abundance, and bucklers,

And he built the altar of Yahweh, and sacrificed thereon peace-offerings, and thanksgiving sacrifices,-and gave word to Judah to serve Yahweh, God of Israel.
