9:5. I will establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel for ever, as
I promised David, thy father, saying: There shall not fail a man of thy
race upon the throne of Israel.
9:6. But if you and your children, revolting, shall turn away from
following me, and will not keep my commandments, and my ceremonies,
which I have set before you, but will go and worship strange gods, and
adore them:
9:7. I will take away Israel from the face of the land which I have
given them; and the temple which I have sanctified to my name, I will
cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb, and a byword among
all people.
9:8. And this house shall be made an example of: every one that shall
pass by it, shall be astonished, and shall hiss, and say: Why hath the
Lord done thus to this land, and to this house?
9:9. And they shall answer: Because they forsook the Lord their God, who
brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and followed strange
gods, and adored them, and worshipped them: therefore hath the Lord
brought upon them all this evil.
9:10. And when twenty years were ended, after Solomon had built the two
houses; that is, the house of the Lord, and the house of the king,
9:11. (Hiram, the king of Tyre, furnishing Solomon with cedar trees, and
fir trees, and gold, according to all he had need of) then Solomon gave
Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
9:12. And Hiram came out of Tyre, to see the towns which Solomon had
given him, and they pleased him not;
9:13. And he said: Are these the cities which thou hast given me,
brother? And he called them the land of Chabul, unto this day.
Chabul... That is, dirty or displeasing.
9:14. And Hiram sent to king Solomon a hundred and twenty talents of
gold.
9:15. This is the sum of the expenses, which king Solomon offered to
build the house of the Lord, and his own house, and Mello, and the wall
of Jerusalem, and Heser, and Mageddo, and Gazer.
9:16. Pharao, the king of Egypt, came up and took Gazer, and burnt it
with fire: and slew the Chanaanite that dwelt in the city, and gave it
for a dowry to his daughter, Solomon's wife.
9:17. So Solomon built Gazer, and Bethhoron the nether,
9:18. And Baalath, and Palmira, in the land of the wilderness.
9:19. And all the towns that belonged to himself, and were not walled,
he fortified; the cities also of the chariots, and the cities of the
horsemen, and whatsoever he had a mind to build in Jerusalem, and in
Libanus, and in all the land of his dominion.
9:20. All the people that were left of the Amorrhites, and Hethites, and
Pherezites, and Hevites, and Jebusites, that are not of the children of
Israel:
9:21. Their children, that were left in the land; to wit, such as the
children of Israel had not been able to destroy, Solomon made tributary
unto this day.
9:22. But of the children of Israel, Solomon made not any to be bondmen,
but they were warriors, and his servants, and his princes, and captains,
and overseers of the chariots and horses.
9:23. And there were five hundred and fifty chief officers set over all
the works of Solomon, and they had people under them, and had charge
over the appointed works.
9:24. And the daughter of Pharao came up out of the city of David to her
house, which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Mello.
9:25. Solomon also offered three times every year holocausts, and
victims of peace offerings, upon the altar which he had built to the
Lord, and he burnt incense before the Lord: and the temple was finished.
