Various Activities of Solomon

8At the end of twenty years, during which Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own house,H7093H6242H8141H8010H1129H1004H3068H10042Solomon rebuilt the cities that Huram had given to him, and settled the people of Israel in them.H5892H2361H5414H8010H8010H1129H1121H3478H34273Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, and captured it.H8010H3212H2578H23884He built Tadmor in the wilderness and all the storage towns that he built in Hamath.H1129H8412H4057H4543H5892H1129H25745He also built Upper Beth-horon and Lower Beth-horon, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars,H1129H1032H5945H1032H8481H4692H5892H2346H1817H12806and Baalath, as well as all Solomon's storage towns, and all the towns for his chariots, the towns for his cavalry, and whatever Solomon desired to build, in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.H1191H4543H5892H8010H7393H5892H5892H6571H8010H2836H2837H1129H3389H3844H776H44757All the people who were left of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel,H5971H3498H2850H567H6522H2340H2983H34788from their descendants who were still left in the land, whom the people of Israel had not destroyed—these Solomon conscripted for forced labor, as is still the case today.H1121H3498H310H776H1121H3478H3615H8010H5927H4522H31179But of the people of Israel Solomon made no slaves for his work; they were soldiers, and his officers, the commanders of his chariotry and cavalry.H1121H3478H8010H5414H5650H4399H582H4421H8269H7991H8269H7393H657110These were the chief officers of King Solomon, two hundred fifty of them, who exercised authority over the people.H8269H4428H8010H5324H5333H3967H2572H7287H597111Solomon brought Pharaoh's daughter from the city of David to the house that he had built for her, for he said, "My wife shall not live in the house of King David of Israel, for the places to which the ark of the LORD has come are holy."H8010H5927H1323H6547H5892H1732H1004H1129H559H802H3427H1004H1732H4428H3478H6944H727H3068H93512Then Solomon offered up burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD that he had built in front of the vestibule,H8010H5927H5930H3068H4196H3068H1129H6440H19713as the duty of each day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses for the sabbaths, the new moons, and the three annual festivals—the festival of unleavened bread, the festival of weeks, and the festival of booths.H1697H3117H5927H4687H4872H7676H2320H4150H7969H6471H8141H2282H4682H2282H7620H2282H552114According to the ordinance of his father David, he appointed the divisions of the priests for their service, and the Levites for their offices of praise and ministry alongside the priests as the duty of each day required, and the gatekeepers in their divisions for the several gates; for so David the man of God had commanded.H5975H4941H1732H1H4256H3548H5656H3881H4931H1984H8334H3548H1697H3117H3117H7778H4256H8179H1732H376H430H468715They did not turn away from what the king had commanded the priests and Levites regarding anything at all, or regarding the treasuries.H5493H4687H4428H3548H3881H1697H21416Thus all the work of Solomon was accomplished from the day the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid until the house of the LORD was finished completely.H4399H8010H3559H3117H4143H1004H3068H3615H1004H3068H800317Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and Eloth on the shore of the sea, in the land of Edom.H1980H8010H6100H359H3220H8193H776H12318Huram sent him, in the care of his servants, ships and servants familiar with the sea. They went to Ophir, together with the servants of Solomon, and imported from there four hundred fifty talents of gold and brought it to King Solomon.H2361H7971H3027H5650H591H591H5650H3045H3220H935H5650H8010H211H3947H702H3967H2572H3603H2091H935H4428H8010

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
