2 Chronicles 8

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 At the end of 20 years during which Solomon had built the Lord's temple and his own palace-

2 Solomon having rebuilt the cities Hiram gave him and having settled the Israelites there-

3 Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and seized it.

4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness along with all the storage cities that he built in Hamath.

5 He built Upper Beth-horon and Lower Beth-horon-fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars-

6 Baalath, all the storage cities that belonged to Solomon, all the chariot cities, the cavalry cities, and everything Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, or anywhere else in the land of his dominion.

7 As for all the peoples who remained of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, who were not from Israel-

8 their descendants who remained in the land after them, those whom the Israelites had not completely destroyed-Solomon imposed forced labor on them; [it is this way] today.

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.

14 According to the ordinances of his father David, he appointed the divisions of the priests over their service, of the Levites over their responsibilities to offer praise and to minister before the priests following the daily requirement, and of the gatekeepers by their divisions with respect to each gate, for this had been the command of David, the man of God.

15 They did not turn aside from the king's command regarding the priests and the Levites concerning any matter or concerning the treasuries.

16 All of Solomon's work was carried out from the day the foundation [was laid] for the Lord's temple until it was finished. So the Lord's temple was completed.

17 At that time Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the seashore in the land of Edom.

18 So through his servants, Hiram sent him ships with crews of experienced seamen. They went with Solomon's servants to Ophir, took from there 17 tons of gold, and delivered it to King Solomon.

English Standard Version ESV

1 At the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the house of the Lord and his own house,

2 Solomon rebuilt the cities that Hiram had given to him, and settled the people of Israel in them.

3 And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and took it.

4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness and all the store cities that he built in Hamath.

5 He also built Upper Beth-horon and Lower Beth-horon, fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars,

6 and Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had and all the cities for his chariots and the cities for his horsemen, and whatever Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

7 All the people who were left of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel,

8 from their descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the people of Israel had not destroyed—these Solomon drafted as forced labor, and so they are to this day.

9 But of the people of Israel Solomon made no slaves for his work; they were soldiers, and his officers, the commanders of his chariots, and his horsemen.

10 And these were the chief officers of King Solomon, 250, who exercised authority over the people.

11 Solomon brought Pharaoh’s daughter up 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 David king of Israel, for the places to which the ark of the Lord has come are holy. ”

12 Then Solomon offered up burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of the Lord that he had built before the vestibule,

13 as the duty of each day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses for the Sabbaths, the new moons, and the three annual feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Booths.

14 According to the ruling of David his father, he appointed the divisions of the priests for their service, and the Levites for their offices of praise and ministry before the priests as the duty of each day required, and the gatekeepers in their divisions at each gate, for so David the man of God had commanded.

15 And they did not turn aside from what the king had commanded the priests and Levites concerning any matter and concerning the treasuries.

16 Thus was accomplished all the work of Solomon from the day the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid until it was finished. So the house of the Lord was completed.

17 Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and Eloth on the shore of the sea, in the land of Edom.

18 And Hiram sent to him by the hand of his servants ships and servants familiar with the sea, and they went to Ophir together with the servants of Solomon and brought from there talents of gold and brought it to King Solomon.
