7
As for all the people who were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel
8
(of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not), these Solomon made to pay tribute until this day.
9
But of the children of Israel Solomon made no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots and horsemen.
10
And these were the chief of King Solomon's officers, even two hundred and fifty, who bore rule over the people.
11
And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the City of David unto the house that 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 unto which the ark of the LORD hath come."
12
Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch,
13
according to a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses on the Sabbaths and on the new moons and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year: on the Feast of Unleavened Bread and on the Feast of Weeks and on the Feast of Tabernacles.
14
And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses of the priests for their service, and the Levites to their charges to praise and minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required; the gatekeepers also by their courses at every gate, for so had David the man of God commanded.
15
And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter or concerning the treasurers.
16
Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected.
17
Then went Solomon to Eziongeber and to Eloth at the seaside, in the land of Edom.
