1 The Lord's temple and Solomon’s palace were now finished, and Solomonhad built everything he wanted. 2 1 K 3.5;2 Ch 1.7.Some time later the Lordappeared to him again in a dream, just as he had done at Gibeon. 3 3 Macc 2.9.The Lordsaid:
I heard your prayer and what you asked me to do. This temple you have built is where I will be worshiped forever. It belongs to me, and I will never stop watching over it.
4 You must obey me, as your father Daviddid, and be honest and fair. Obey my laws and teachings, 5 1 K 2.4.and I will keep my promise to Davidthat someone from your family will always be king of Israel.
6 But if you or any of your descendants disobey my commands or start worshiping foreign gods, 7 I will no longer let my people Israel live in this land I gave them. I will desert this temple where I said I would be worshiped. Then people everywhere will think this nation is only a joke and will make fun of it. 8 2 K 25.9;2 Ch 36.19.This temple will become a pile of rocks!9.8 a pile of rocks: Some ancient translations; Hebrew "high."Everyone who walks by will be shocked, and they will ask, "Why did the Lorddo such a terrible thing to his people and to this temple?" 9 Then they will answer, "We know why the Lorddid this. The people of Israel rejected the Lordtheir God, who rescued their ancestors from Egypt, and they started worshiping other gods."
10 It took 20 years for the Lord's temple and Solomon’s palace to be built. 11 Later, Solomongave King Hiramof Tyre20 towns in the region of Galileeto repay him for the cedar, pine, and gold he had given Solomon.
12 When Hiramwent to see the towns, he did not like them. 13 He said, "Solomon, my friend, are these the kind of towns you want to give me?" So Hiram called the region Cabulbecause he thought it was worthless.9.13 Cabul … worthless: Cabul sounds like the Hebrew word for "worthless."14 He sent Solomon only five tons of gold in return.
15 After Solomon’s workers had finished the temple and the palace, he ordered them to fill in the land on the east side of Jerusalem,9.15 fill … Jerusalem: The Hebrew text has "build the Millo," which probably refers to a landfill to strengthen and extend the hill where the city was built.to build a wall around the city, and to rebuild the towns of Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
16 Earlier, the king of Egypthad captured the town of Gezer; he burned it to the ground and killed the Canaanite people living there. Then he gave it to his daughter as a wedding present when she married Solomon. 17 So Solomonhad the town rebuilt.
Solomonordered his workers to rebuild LowerBeth-Horon, 18 Baalath, and Tamarin the desert of Judah. 19 They also built towns where he could keep his supplies and his chariots and horses. Solomonordered them to build whatever he wanted in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and anywhere in his kingdom.
20-22 Solomondid not force the Israelites to do his work. They were his soldiers, officials, leaders, commanders, chariot captains, and chariot drivers. But he did make slaves of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites who were living in Israel. These were the descendants of those foreigners the Israelites could not destroy, and they remained Israel’s slaves.
23 Solomonappointed 550 officers to be in charge of his workers and to watch over his building projects.
24 Solomon’s wife, the daughter of the king of Egypt, moved from the older part of Jerusalem9.24 the older … Jerusalem: See the note at 3.1.to her new palace. Then Solomon had the land on the east side of Jerusalem filled in.9.24 the land … filled in: See the note at 9.15.
25 Ex 23.17;34.23;Dt 16.16.Three times a year, Solomonburned incense and offered sacrifices to the Lordon the altar he had built.
Solomonhad now finished building the Lord's temple.
26 He also had a lot of ships at Ezion-Geber, a town in Edomnear Elothon the Red Sea.9.26 Red Sea: Hebrew yam suph, here referring to the Gulf of Aqaba, since the term is extended to include the northeastern arm of the Red Sea (see also the note at Exodus 13.11).27,28 King Hiramlet some of his experienced sailors go to the country of Ophir9.27,28 Ophir: The location of this place is not known.with Solomon’s own sailors, and they brought back about 14 tons of gold for Solomon.
