2 Chronicles 8:9-18

9 But Solomon did not make slaves for his work from the sons of Israel; they were men of war, his chief captains and commanders of his chariots and his horsemen.

10 These were the chief officers of King Solomon, two hundred and fifty who ruled over the people.

11 ¹Then Solomon brought Pharaoh's daughter up from the city of David to the house which he had built for her, for he said, "My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy where the ark of the LORD has entered."

12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on ²the altar of the LORD which he had built before the porch;

13 and ³did so according to the daily rule, offering them up ⁴according to the commandment of Moses, for ⁵the sabbaths, ⁶the new moons and the ⁷three annual * feasts -the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks and the Feast of Booths.

14 Now according to the ordinance of his father David, he appointed ⁸the divisions of the priests for their service, and ⁹the Levites for their duties of praise and ministering before the priests according to the daily rule, and ¹⁰the gatekeepers by their divisions at every gate; for ¹¹David the man of God had so commanded.

15 And they did not depart from the commandment of the king to the priests and Levites in any manner or concerning the storehouses.

16 Thus all the work of Solomon was carried out from the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed.

17 Then Solomon went to ¹²Ezion-geber and to ¹³Eloth on the seashore * in the land of Edom.

18 And Huram by his servants sent him ships and servants who knew the sea; and they went with Solomon's servants to Ophir, and ¹⁴took from there four hundred and fifty talents of gold and brought them to King Solomon.
