NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

1 Kings 9

God's Promise and Warning

1

 aNow it cameh1961 about when Solomonh8010 had finishedh3615 buildingh1129 the househ1004 of the LORDh3068, and  bthe king'sh4428 househ1004, and  callh3605  1that Solomonh8010 desiredh2837h2654a to doh6213a,

2

that  athe LORDh3068 appearedh7200 to Solomonh8010 a secondh8145 timeh8145, as He had appearedh7200 to him at Gibeonh1391.

3

The LORDh3068 saidh559 to him, " aI have heardh8085 your prayerh8605 and your supplicationh8467, whichh834 you have madeh2603a beforeh6440 Me; I have consecratedh6942 thish2088 househ1004 whichh834 you have builth1129  bby puttingh7760 My nameh8034 thereh8033 foreverh5704h5769, and  cMy eyesh5869 and My hearth3820 will be thereh8033 perpetuallyh3605h3117.

4

"As for you,  aifh518 you will walkh1980 beforeh6440 Me as your fatherh1 Davidh1732 walkedh1980, in integrityh8537 of hearth3824 and uprightnessh3476, doingh6213a according to allh3605 that I have commandedh6680 you and will keeph8104 My statutesh2706 and My ordinancesh4941,

5

then  aI will establishh6965 the throneh3678 of your kingdomh4467 overh5921 Israelh3478 foreverh5769, justh3512c as I  1promisedh1696 to your fatherh1 Davidh1732, sayingh559, ` 2You shall not lackh3772 a manh376 on the throneh3678 of Israelh3478.'

6

aBut ifh518 you or your sonsh1121 indeedh7725 turnh7725 awayh7725 from followingh310 Me, and do not keeph8104 My commandmentsh4687 and My statutesh2708 whichh834 I have seth5414 beforeh6440 you, and goh1980 and serveh5647 otherh312 godsh430 and worshiph7812 them,

7

 athen I will cuth3772 offh3772 Israelh3478 from the landh127 whichh834 I have givenh5414 them, and  bthe househ1004 whichh834 I have consecratedh6942 for My nameh8034, I will  1casth7971 out of My sighth6440. So  cIsraelh3478 will becomeh1961 a proverbh4912 and a bywordh8148 among allh3605 peoplesh5971a.

8

"And thish2088 househ1004 will becomeh1961  1 aa heaph5945a of ruinsh5945a; everyoneh3605 who passesh5674a by will be astonishedh8074 and hissh8319 and sayh559, ` bWhyh5921h4100 has the LORDh3068 doneh6213a thush3602 to thish2088 landh776 and to thish2088 househ1004?'

9

"And they will sayh559, ` aBecauseh5921h834 they forsookh5800a the LORDh3068 their Godh430, whoh834 broughth3318 their fathersh1 out of the landh776 of Egypth4714, and adoptedh2388 otherh312 godsh430 and worshipedh7812 them and servedh5647 them, thereforeh5921h3651 the LORDh3068 has broughth935 allh3605 thish2088 adversityh7463a on them.' "

Cities Given to Hiram

10

 aIt cameh1961 about  bat the endh7097a of twentyh6242 yearsh8141 in whichh834 Solomonh8010 had builth1129 the twoh8147 housesh1004, the househ1004 of the LORDh3068 and the king'sh4428 househ1004

11

(Hiramh2438 kingh4428 of Tyreh6865 had suppliedh5375 Solomonh8010 with cedarh730 and cypressh1265 timberh6086 and goldh2091 according to allh3605 his desireh2656), thenh227 Kingh4428 Solomonh8010 gaveh5414 Hiramh2438 twentyh6242 citiesh5892b in the landh776 of Galileeh1551.

12

So Hiramh2438 cameh3318 out from Tyreh6865 to seeh7200 the citiesh5892b whichh834 Solomonh8010 had givenh5414 him, and they  1did not pleaseh3474h5869 him.

13

He saidh559, "Whath4100 are theseh428 citiesh5892b whichh834 you have givenh5414 me, my brotherh251?" So  1they were calledh7121 the landh776 of  2 aCabulh3521 to thish2088 dayh3117.

14

 aAnd Hiramh2438 senth7971 to the kingh4428 120h3967h6242 talentsh3603 of goldh2091.

15

Now thish2088 is the accounth1697 of the forcedh4522 laborh4522 whichh834 Kingh4428 Solomonh8010  aleviedh5927 to buildh1129 the househ1004 of the LORDh3068, his own househ1004, the  1 bMilloh4407, the wallh2346 of Jerusalemh3389,  cHazorh2674,  dMegiddoh4023b, and  eGezerh1507.

16

For Pharaohh6547 kingh4428 of Egypth4714 had goneh5927 up and capturedh3920 Gezerh1507 and burnedh8313 it with fireh784, and killedh2026 the  aCanaanitesh3669a who livedh3427 in the cityh5892b, and had  bgivenh5414 it as a dowryh7964 to his daughterh1323, Solomon'sh8010 wifeh802.

17

So Solomonh8010 rebuilth1129 Gezerh1507 and the lowerh8481  aBeth-horonh1032

18

and  aBaalathh1191 and Tamarh8559 in the wildernessh4057b, in the landh776 of Judah,

19

and allh3605 the storageh4543 citiesh5892b whichh834 Solomonh8010 hadh1961, even  athe citiesh5892b for  1his chariotsh7393 and the citiesh5892b for  1 bhis horsemenh6571b, and  2 callh2837 that it pleasedh2836ah2837 Solomonh8010 to buildh1129 in Jerusalemh3389, in Lebanonh3844, and in allh3605 the landh776  3under his ruleh4475.

20

As for allh3605 the peopleh5971a who were lefth3498 of the Amoritesh567, the Hittitesh2850, the Perizzitesh6522, the Hivitesh2340 and the Jebusitesh2983, whoh834 were not of the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478,

21

 atheir descendantsh1121 whoh834 were lefth3498 afterh310 them in the landh776  bwhomh834 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 were unableh3808h3201 to destroyh2763a utterlyh2763a,  cfrom them Solomonh8010 leviedh5927  dforcedh4522 laborersh5647h4522, evenh5704 to thish2088 dayh3117.

22

But Solomonh8010  adid not makeh5414 slavesh5650 of the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478; for they were menh376 of warh4421, his servantsh5650, his princesh8269, his captainsh7991c, his charioth7393 commandersh8269, and his horsemenh6571b.

23

Theseh428 were the  1 achiefh8269 officersh5324 whoh834 were overh5921 Solomon'sh8010 workh4399, fiveh2568 hundredh3967 and fiftyh2572,  bwho ruledh7287a over the peopleh5971a doingh6213a the workh4399.

24

As soonh389 as  aPharaoh'sh6547 daughterh1323 cameh5927 up from the cityh5892b of Davidh1732 to her househ1004 whichh834 Solomon had builth1129 for her,  bthenh227 he builth1129 the Milloh4407.

25

Now  athreeh7969 timesh6471 in a yearh8141 Solomonh8010 offeredh5927 burnth5930a offeringsh5930a and peaceh8002 offeringsh8002 on the altarh4196 whichh834 he builth1129 to the LORDh3068, burningh6999 incenseh6999 with them on the altar whichh834 was beforeh6440 the LORDh3068. So he finishedh7999a the househ1004.

26

Kingh4428 Solomonh8010 also builth6213a a  afleeth590 of shipsh590 in  bEzion-geberh6100, whichh834 is nearh854 Elothh359 on the shoreh8193 of the  1Redh5488h3220 Seah3220, in the landh776 of Edomh112b.

27

 aAnd Hiramh2438 senth7971 his servantsh5650 with the fleeth590, sailorsh376h591 who knewh3045 the seah3220, alongh5973 with the servantsh5650 of Solomonh8010.

28

They wenth935 to  aOphirh211 and tookh3947 fourh702 hundredh3967 and twentyh6242 talentsh3603 of goldh2091 from thereh8033, and broughth935 it to Kingh4428 Solomonh8010.
