2 Chronicles 8:11 In-Context

9 But Solomon did not consign the Israelites to be slaves for his work; they were soldiers, commanders of his captains, and commanders of his chariots and his cavalry.
10 These were King Solomon's deputies: 250 who ruled over the people.
11 Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh from the city of David to the house he had built for her, for he said, "My wife must not live in the house of David king of Israel because the places to which the ark of the Lord has come are holy."
12 At that time Solomon offered burnt offerings to the Lord on the Lord's altar he had made in front of the vestibule
13 following the daily requirement for offerings according to the commandment of Moses for Sabbaths, New Moons, and the three annual appointed festivals: the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of Booths.
