But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen in his work: but they were men of war and rulers and great lords with him, and captains over his chariots and Horsemen.

And king Solomon's officers that oversaw and ruled the people, were two hundred and fifty.

And from thenceforth Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD which he had built before the porch;

to offer day by day according to the commandment of Moses, and in the Sabbaths and new moons, and the three solemn feasts of the year: the feast of sweetbread, the feast of weeks and the feast of booths.

And Solomon put the sorts of priests in companies as David his father had ordered them, unto the offices, and the Levites unto their wait, for to praise and minister before the priests day by day, and the porters by course at every gate. For so had David the man of God commanded.

And Hiram sent him, by the hand of his servants, ships and servants that could skill of the sea: Which went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and brought thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought it to king Solomon.

And all the work of Solomon went lustily forward even unto the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid: and from thence till he had finished it, that the house of the LORD was perfect.

And the commandment of the king unto the priests and the Levites concerning whatsoever cause it was, and concerning the treasures, was not disobeyed.

And Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David into the house that he had made for her. For he said, "My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, for it is holy, because the Ark of the LORD came into it."

And then went king Solomon to Eziongeber and to Eloth and to the seaside in the land of Edom.

And after twenty years, when Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house:

he built the cities that Hiram gave him, and put of the children of Israel in them.

And he built Bethhoron the upper, and Bethhoron the nether, and made them strong cities with walls, gates and bars.

And Solomon went to Hamathzobah and strengthened it.

And all the people that were left of the Hittites, Amorites, Perezites, Hivites and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel -

And Baalath and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities and the cities of Horsemen, and all that Solomon had lust to build in Jerusalem and Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion.

And he built Tadmor in the wilderness and all the store cities which he built in Hamath.

even the children of them, which were left after them in the land, and were not consumed of the children of Israel - them did Solomon make tributaries unto this day.
