2 Chronicles 8

The Message Bible MSG

1 At the end of twenty years, Solomon had quite a list of accomplishments. He had: built The Temple of God and his own palace;

2 rebuilt the cities that Hiram had given him and colonized them with Israelites;

3 marched on Hamath Zobah and took it;

4 fortified Tadmor in the desert and all the store-cities he had founded in Hamath;

5 built the fortress cities Upper Beth Horon and Lower Beth Horon, complete with walls, gates, and bars;

6 built Baalath and store-cities; built chariot-cities for his horses. Solomon built impulsively and extravagantly - whenever a whim took him. And in Jerusalem, in Lebanon - wherever he fancied.

7 The remnants from the original inhabitants of the land (Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, Jebusites - all non-Israelites),

8 survivors of the holy wars, were rounded up by Solomon for his gangs of slave labor. The policy is in effect today.

9 But true Israelites were not treated this way; they were used in his army and administration - government leaders and commanders of his chariots and charioteers.

10 They were also the project managers responsible for Solomon's building operations - 250 in all in charge of the workforce.

11 Solomon brought Pharaoh's daughter from the City of David to a house built especially for her, "Because," he said, "my wife cannot live in the house of David king of Israel, for the areas in which the Chest of God has entered are sacred."

12 Then Solomon offered Whole-Burnt-Offerings to God on the Altar of God that he had built in front of The Temple porch.

13 He kept to the regular schedule of worship set down by Moses: Sabbaths, New Moons, and the three annual feasts of Unraised Bread (Passover), Weeks (Pentecost), and Booths.

14 He followed the practice of his father David in setting up groups of priests carrying out the work of worship, with the Levites assigned to lead the sacred music for praising God and to assist the priests in the daily worship; he assigned security guards to be on duty at each gate - that's what David the man of God had ordered.

15 The king's directions to the priests and Levites and financial stewards were kept right down to the fine print - no innovations - including the treasuries.

16 All that Solomon set out to do, from the groundbreaking of The Temple of God to its finish, was now complete.

17 Then Solomon went to Ezion Geber and Elath on the coast of Edom.

18 Hiram sent him ships and with them veteran sailors. Joined by Solomon's men they sailed to Ophir (in east Africa), loaded on fifteen tons of gold, and brought it back to King Solomon.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 expletis autem viginti annis postquam aedificavit Salomon domum Domini et domum suam

2 civitates quas dederat Hiram Salomoni aedificavit et habitare ibi fecit filios Israhel

3 abiit quoque in Emath Suba et obtinuit eam

4 et aedificavit Palmyram in deserto et alias civitates munitissimas aedificavit in Emath

5 extruxitque Bethoron superiorem et Bethoron inferiorem civitates muratas habentes portas et vectes et seras

6 Baalath etiam et omnes urbes firmissimas quae fuerunt Salomonis cunctasque urbes quadrigarum et urbes equitum omnia quae voluit Salomon atque disposuit aedificavit in Hierusalem et in Libano et in universa terra potestatis suae

7 omnem populum qui derelictus fuerat de Hettheis et Amorreis et Ferezeis et Eveis et Iebuseis qui non erant de stirpe Israhel

8 de filiis eorum et de posteris quos non interfecerant filii Israhel subiugavit Salomon in tributarios usque in diem hanc

9 porro de filiis Israhel non posuit ut servirent operibus regis ipsi enim erant viri bellatores et duces primi et principes quadrigarum et equitum eius

10 omnes autem principes exercitus regis Salomonis fuerunt ducenti quinquaginta qui erudiebant populum

11 filiam vero Pharaonis transtulit de civitate David in domum quam aedificaverat ei dixit enim non habitabit uxor mea in domo David regis Israhel eo quod sanctificata sit quia ingressa est eam arca Domini

12 tunc obtulit Salomon holocausta Domino super altare Domini quod extruxerat ante porticum

13 ut per singulos dies offerretur in eo iuxta praeceptum Mosi in sabbatis et in kalendis et in festis diebus ter per annum id est in sollemnitate azymorum et in sollemnitate ebdomadarum et in sollemnitate tabernaculorum

14 et constituit iuxta dispositionem David patris sui officia sacerdotum in ministeriis suis et Levitas in ordine suo ut laudarent et ministrarent coram sacerdotibus iuxta ritum uniuscuiusque diei et ianitores in divisionibus suis per portam et portam sic enim praeceperat David homo Dei

15 nec praetergressi sunt de mandatis regis tam sacerdotes quam Levitae ex omnibus quae praeceperat et in custodiis thesaurorum

16 omnes inpensas praeparatas habuit Salomon ex eo die quo fundavit domum Domini usque in diem quo perfecit eam

17 tunc abiit Salomon in Hesiongaber et in Ahilath ad oram maris Rubri quae est in terra Edom

18 misit autem ei Hiram per manum servorum suorum naves et nautas gnaros maris et abierunt cum servis Salomonis in Ophir tuleruntque inde quadringenta quinquaginta talenta auri et adtulerunt ad regem Salomonem
