But the sons of
Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken
with hands:
But the worthless are all like thorns
raked aside, for they can never be gathered by hand.
But the man that shall touch them must be
fenced with iron and the staff of a
spear; and they shall be utterly burned
with fire in the same place.
The man who touches them must be armed
with iron or
with the shaft of a
spear. The fire burns them to ashes in the place where they lie.”

with his own
spear.

with the king, I also will come in after thee, and
confirm thy words.
Then, while you are still there speaking
with the king, I will come in after you and
confirm your words.”

with the king,

Nathan the prophet. And when he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king
with his face to the ground.
So the king was told, “
Nathan the prophet is here.” And
Nathan went in and bowed facedown before the king.
Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shewed it unto thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?
Has my lord the king let this happen without informing your servant who should sit on the throne after my lord the king?”
Then Bath-
sheba bowed
with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.
Bathsheba bowed facedown in
homage to the king and said, “May my lord King David live
forever!”

with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to
ride upon mine own
mule, and bring him down to
Gihon:
“Take my servants
with you,” said the king. “Set my son Solomon on my own
mule and take him down to
Gihon.

Nathan the prophet
anoint him there king over Israel: and blow ye
with the
trumpet, and say, God save king Solomon.

Zadok the priest and

with the Cherethites and Pelethites, went down and set Solomon on King David’s
mule, and they
escorted him to
Gihon.
And all the people came up after him, and the people piped
with pipes, and
rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent
with the sound of them.
All the people followed him, playing flutes and
rejoicing with such a great joy that the earth was split by the sound.
And Adonijah and all the guests that were
with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. And when
Joab heard the sound of the
trumpet, he said, Wherefore is this noise of the city being in an
uproar?
Now Adonijah and all his guests were finishing their feast when they heard the sound of the ram’s horn. “Why is the city in such a loud
uproar?” asked
Joab.
And the king hath sent
with him
Zadok the priest, and
Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to
ride upon the king’s
mule:
And
with Solomon, the king has sent
Zadok the priest,
Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, along
with the Cherethites and Pelethites, and they have set him on the king’s
mule.

rejoicing, so that the city
rang again. This is the noise that ye have heard.

swear unto me to day that he will not
slay his servant
with the sword.

swear to me not to put his servant to the sword.’”
That the LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take
heed to their way, to walk before me in truth
with all their heart and
with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.
and so that the LORD may
fulfill His promise to me: ‘If your descendants take
heed to walk faithfully before Me
with all their heart and soul, you will never fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.’
Moreover thou knowest also what
Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto
Abner the son of
Ner, and unto
Amasa the son of Jether, whom he
slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his
girdle that was about his loins, and in his
shoes that were on his feet.
Moreover, you know what
Joab son of Zeruiah did to me—what he did to
Abner son of
Ner and
Amasa son of Jether, the two commanders of the armies of Israel. He killed them in peacetime to
avenge the blood of war. He
stained with the blood of war the belt around his
waist and the
sandals on his feet.
And, behold, thou hast
with thee Shimei the son of
Gera, a
Benjamite of Bahurim, which
cursed me
with a
grievous curse in the day when I went to
Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I
sware to him by the LORD, saying, I will not put thee to death
with the sword.
Keep an eye on Shimei the son of
Gera, the
Benjamite from Bahurim who is
with you. He called down bitter curses against me on the day I went to
Mahanaim, but when he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I
swore to him by the LORD: ‘I will never put you to the sword.’
Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his
hoar head bring thou down to the grave
with blood.
Now therefore, do not hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man. You know what you ought to do to him to bring his gray head down to
Sheol in blood.”
So David
slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
Then David rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David.
Then
tidings came to
Joab: for
Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after
Absalom. And
Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
When the news reached
Joab, who had
conspired with Adonijah but not
with Absalom, he fled to the tent of the LORD and took hold of the horns of the altar.
And the LORD shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and
slew them
with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to
wit,
Abner the son of
Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and
Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.
The LORD will bring his
bloodshed back upon his own head, for
without the knowledge of my father David he struck down two men more righteous and better than he when he put to the sword
Abner son of
Ner, commander of Israel’s army, and
Amasa son of Jether, commander of Judah’s army.
Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?
So why have you not kept your oath to the LORD and the command that I gave you?”
And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh’s daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.
Later, Solomon formed an alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt by marrying his daughter. Solomon brought her to the City of David until he had finished building his palace and the house of the LORD, as well as the wall around Jerusalem.
And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.
Solomon replied, “You have shown much loving devotion to Your servant, my father David, because he walked before You in faithfulness, righteousness, and uprightness of heart. And You have maintained this loving devotion by giving him a son to sit on his throne this very day.
And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house.
One woman said, “Please, my lord, this woman and I live in the same house, and I gave birth while she was in the house.
And it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also: and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house.
On the third day after I gave birth, this woman also had a
baby. We were alone,
with no one in the house but the two of us.
Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her
bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise
slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it.
Then the woman whose son was alive spoke to the king because she
yearned with compassion for her son. “Please, my lord,” she said, “give her the living
baby. Do not kill him!” But the other woman said, “He will be neither mine nor yours. Cut him in two!”
Now therefore command thou that they
hew me
cedar trees out of
Lebanon; and my servants shall be
with thy servants: and unto thee will I give
hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt
appoint: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that can skill to
hew timber like unto the Sidonians.
Now therefore, order that cedars of
Lebanon be cut down for me. My servants will be
with your servants, and I will pay your servants whatever wages you set, for you know that there are none among us as skilled in
logging as the Sidonians.”
My servants shall bring them down from
Lebanon unto the sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou shalt
appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt
accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.
My servants will
haul the logs from
Lebanon to the Sea, and I will
float them as rafts by sea to the place you
specify. There I will separate the logs, and you can take them away. And in exchange, you can meet my needs by providing my household
with food.”
So
Hiram gave Solomon
cedar trees and
fir trees according to all his desire.
And Solomon gave
Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to
Hiram year by year.
and year after year Solomon would provide
Hiram with 20,000 cors of wheat as food for his household, as well as 20,000 baths of pure olive oil.
And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and
hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
And the king commanded them to
quarry large, costly stones to lay the foundation of the temple
with dressed stones.
And Solomon’s builders and
Hiram’s builders did
hew them, and the stonesquarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house.
So Solomon’s and
Hiram’s builders, along
with the Gebalites,
quarried the stone and prepared the timber and stone for the construction of the temple.
The
nethermost chamber was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for
without in the wall of the house he made narrowed rests round about, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house.
The bottom floor was five cubits wide, the middle floor six cubits, and the third floor seven cubits. He also placed
offset ledges around the outside of the temple, so that nothing would be inserted into its walls.
The door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third.
The entrance to the bottom floor was on the south side of the temple. A
stairway led up to the middle level, and from there to the third floor.
So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house
with beams and boards of
cedar.
So Solomon built the temple and finished it, roofing it
with beams and planks of
cedar.
And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on the house
with timber of
cedar.
He built chambers all along the temple, each five cubits high and attached to the temple
with beams of
cedar.
Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou
wilt walk in my statutes, and
execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word
with thee, which I spake unto David thy father:
“As for this temple you are building, if you walk in My statutes, carry out My ordinances, and keep all My commandments by walking in them, I will
fulfill through you the promise I made to your father David.
And he built the walls of the house
within with boards of
cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the cieling: and he covered them on the inside
with wood, and covered the floor of the house
with planks of
fir.
He lined the interior walls
with cedar paneling from the floor of the temple to the
ceiling, and he covered the floor
with cypress boards.
And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls
with boards of
cedar: he even built them for it
within, even for the
oracle, even for the most holy place.
He partitioned off the twenty cubits at the rear of the temple
with cedar boards from floor to
ceiling to form
within the temple an inner sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.
And the
cedar of the house
within was carved
with knops and open flowers: all was
cedar; there was no stone seen.
The
cedar paneling inside the temple was carved
with gourds and open flowers. Everything was
cedar; not a stone could be seen.
And the
oracle he prepared in the house
within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
Solomon also prepared the inner sanctuary within the temple to set the ark of the covenant of the LORD there.
And the
oracle in the
forepart was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he overlaid it
with pure gold; and so covered the altar which was of
cedar.
The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and twenty cubits high. He overlaid the inside
with pure gold, and he also overlaid the altar of
cedar.
So Solomon overlaid the house
within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the
oracle; and he overlaid it
with gold.
So Solomon overlaid the inside of the temple with pure gold, and he extended gold chains across the front of the inner sanctuary, which was overlaid with gold.
And the whole house he overlaid
with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that was by the
oracle he overlaid
with gold.
So he overlaid with gold the whole interior of the temple, until everything was completely finished. He also overlaid with gold the entire altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary.
And
within the
oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree, each ten cubits high.
In the inner sanctuary he made two
cherubim, each ten cubits high, out of olive wood.
And he set the cherubims
within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other
cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.
And he placed the
cherubim inside the
innermost room of the temple. Since their wings were spread out, the wing of the first
cherub touched one wall, while the wing of the second
cherub touched the other wall, and in the middle of the room their wingtips touched.
And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
He also overlaid the
cherubim with gold.
And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.
Then he carved the walls all around the temple, in both the inner and outer
sanctuaries,
with carved engravings of
cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers.
And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.
And he overlaid the temple floor
with gold in both the inner and outer
sanctuaries.
And for the entering of the
oracle he made doors of olive tree: the
lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.
For the entrance to the inner sanctuary, Solomon constructed doors of olive wood with five-sided doorposts.
The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees.
The double doors were made of olive wood, and he carved into them
cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers and overlaid the
cherubim and palm trees
with hammered gold.
And he carved
thereon cherubims and palm trees and open flowers: and covered them
with gold fitted upon the carved work.
He carved into them
cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; and he overlaid them
with gold, hammered evenly over the carvings.
And he built the inner court
with three rows of
hewed stone, and a row of
cedar beams.
He built also the house of the forest of
Lebanon; the length thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of
cedar pillars,
with cedar beams upon the pillars.
He built the House of the Forest of
Lebanon a hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high,
with four rows of
cedar pillars supporting the
cedar beams.
And it was covered
with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row.
The house was roofed
with cedar above the beams that rested on the pillars—forty-five beams, fifteen per row.
And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was against light in three ranks.
All the doorways had rectangular frames, with the openings facing one another in three tiers.
And he made a
porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the
porch was before them: and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them.
Solomon made his
colonnade fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide,
with a
portico in front of it and a
canopy with pillars in front of the
portico.
Then he made a
porch for the throne where he might judge, even the
porch of judgment: and it was covered
with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.
In addition, he built a hall for the throne, the Hall of Justice, where he was to judge. It was
paneled with cedar from floor to
ceiling.
And his house where he dwelt had another court
within the
porch, which was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like unto this
porch.
And the palace where Solomon would live, set further back, was of similar construction. He also made a palace like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had married.
All these were of costly stones, according to the measures of
hewed stones, sawed
with saws,
within and
without, even from the foundation unto the
coping, and so on the outside toward the great court.
All these buildings were constructed
with costly stones, cut to size and
trimmed with saws inside and out from the foundation to the
eaves, and from the outside to the great
courtyard.
And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
The foundations were laid with large, costly stones, some ten cubits long and some eight cubits long.
And the great court round about was
with three rows of
hewed stones, and a row of
cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the LORD, and for the
porch of the house.
He was a widow’s son of the tribe of
Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled
with wisdom, and understanding, and
cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.
He was the son of a widow from the tribe of
Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a
craftsman in bronze. Huram had great skill, understanding, and knowledge for every kind of bronze work. So he came to King Solomon and carried out all his work.
And nets of checker work, and
wreaths of chain work, for the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one
chapiter, and seven for the other
chapiter.
For the capitals on top of the pillars he made a network of
lattice,
with wreaths of
chainwork, seven for each capital.
And he made the pillars, and two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the chapiters that were upon the top,
with pomegranates: and so did he for the other
chapiter.
Likewise, he made the pillars
with two rows of pomegranates around each
grating to cover each capital
atop the pillars.
It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
The Sea stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The Sea rested on them, with all their hindquarters toward the center.
And it was an hand breadth thick, and the
brim thereof was wrought like the
brim of a cup,
with flowers of
lilies: it contained two thousand baths.
And every base had four
brasen wheels, and plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the
laver were undersetters
molten, at the side of every addition.
Each stand had four bronze wheels
with bronze axles and a basin resting on four supports,
with wreaths at each side.
And the mouth of it
within the
chapiter and above was a
cubit: but the mouth thereof was round after the work of the base, a
cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it were gravings
with their borders,
foursquare, not round.
The opening to each stand inside the crown at the top was one
cubit deep,
with a round opening like the design of a
pedestal, a
cubit and a half wide. And around its opening were engravings, but the panels of the stands were square, not round.
And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a
cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges thereof and the borders thereof were of the same.
At the top of each stand was a circular band half a
cubit high. The supports and panels were cast as a unit
with the top of the stand.
For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of every one, and additions round about.
He engraved
cherubim, lions, and palm trees on the surfaces of the supports and panels, wherever each had space,
with wreaths all around.
After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size.
In this way he made the ten stands, each with the same casting, dimensions, and shape.
And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the
oracle,
with the flowers, and the lamps, and the
tongs of gold,
the lampstands of pure gold in front of the inner sanctuary, five on the right side and five on the left; the gold flowers, lamps, and
tongs;
And the
bowls, and the
snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, to
wit, of the temple.
the pure gold basins,
wick trimmers,
sprinkling bowls, ladles, and censers; and the gold hinges for the doors of the inner temple (that is, the Most Holy Place) as well as for the doors of the main hall of the temple.
And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up.
and they brought up the ark of the LORD and the Tent of Meeting with all its sacred furnishings. So the priests and Levites carried them up.
And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
There, before the ark, King Solomon and the whole congregation of Israel who had assembled with him sacrificed so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered.
And they drew out the
staves, that the ends of the
staves were seen out in the holy place before the
oracle, and they were not seen
without: and there they are unto this day.
The poles extended far enough that their ends were visible from the Holy Place in front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside the Holy Place; and they are there to this day.
There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at
Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant
with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets that Moses had placed in it at
Horeb, where the LORD had made a covenant
with the Israelites after they had come out of the land of Egypt.
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
and said: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has fulfilled with His own hand what He spoke with His mouth to my father David, saying,
And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.
And there I have provided a place for the ark, which contains the covenant of the LORD that He made with our fathers when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.”
And he said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart:
and said: “O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven above or on earth below, keeping Your covenant of loving devotion with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts.
Who hast kept with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him: thou spakest also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day.
You have kept Your promise to Your servant, my father David. What You spoke with Your mouth You have fulfilled with Your hand this day.
Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep
with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that thy children take
heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me.
Therefore now, O LORD, God of Israel, keep for Your servant, my father David, what You promised when You said: ‘You will never fail to have a man to sit before Me on the throne of Israel, if only your descendants guard their way to walk before Me as you have done.’
When thy people Israel be
smitten down before the enemy, because they have
sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and
confess thy name, and pray, and make
supplication unto thee in this house:
When Your people Israel are defeated before an enemy because they have
sinned against You, and they return to You and
confess Your name, praying and
pleading with You in this temple,
