1And thus the officers provided king Solomon: and [they execute] every one in his month all the orders for the table of the king, they omit nothing. And they carried the barley and the straw for the horses and the chariots to the place where the king might be, each according to his charge.
1Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the place of his father, and Hiram had always loved David.
2And these [were] the requisite supplies for Solomon: in one day thirty measures of fine flour, and sixty measures of fine pounded meal,
2Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
3and ten choice calves, and twenty pastured oxen, and a hundred sheep, besides stags, and choice fatted does.
3“You know that David my father could not build a house for the name of Yahweh his God because of the wars which were around him on every side, until Yahweh put his enemies under the soles of his feet.
4For he had dominion on this side the river, and he was at peace on all sides round about.
4But now Yahweh my God has given me rest on every side. There is no enemy and no evil occurrence.
9And the Lord gave understanding to Solomon, and very much wisdom, and enlargement of heart, as the sand on the seashore.
9My servants will bring them down from Lebanon to the sea. I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place that you specify to me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and you will receive them. You will accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.”
10And Solomon abounded greatly beyond the wisdom of all the ancients, and beyond all the wise men of Egypt.
10So Hiram gave Solomon cedar timber and cypress timber according to all his desire.
11And he was wiser than all [other] men: and he was wiser than Gæthan the Zarite, and [than] Ænan, and [than] Chalcad and Darala the sons of Mal.
11Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat for food to his household, and twenty cors of pure oil. Solomon gave this to Hiram year by year.
12And Solomon spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs were five thousand.
12Yahweh gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him. There was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty together.
13And he spoke of trees, from the cedar in Libanus even to the hyssop which comes out through the wall: he spoke also of cattle, and of birds, and of reptiles, and of fishes.
13King Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
14And all the nations came to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and [ambassadors] from all the kings of the earth, as many as heard of his wisdom. And Solomon took to himself the daughter of Pharao to wife, and brought her into the city of David until he had finished the house of the Lord, and his own house, and the wall of Jerusalem. Then went up Pharao the king of Egypt, and took Gazer, and burnt it and the Chananite dwelling in Mergab; and Pharao gave them as a dowry to his daughter the wife of Solomon: and Solomon rebuilt Gazer.
14He sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: for a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home; and Adoniram was over the men subject to forced labor.
15And Chiram king of Tyre sent his servants to anoint Solomon in the room of David his father, because Chiram always loved David.
15Solomon had seventy thousand who bore burdens, and eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains,
16And Solomon sent to Chiram, saying,
16besides Solomon’s chief officers who were over the work: three thousand three hundred who ruled over the people who labored in the work.
17Thou knewest my father David, that he could not build a house to the name of the Lord my God because of the wars that compassed him about, until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet.
17The king commanded, and they cut out large stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with worked stone.
18And now the Lord my God has given me rest round about; there is no one plotting against [me], and there is no evil trespass [against me].
18Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders and the Gebalites cut them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.
1And it came to pass in the four hundred and fortieth year after the departure of the children of Israel out of Egypt, in the fourth year and second month of the reign of king Solomonover Israel, that the king commanded that they should take great [and] costly stones for the foundation of the house, and hewn stones. And the men of Solomon, and the men of Chiram hewed [the stones], and laid them [for a foundation]. In the fourth year he laid the foundation of the house of the Lord, in the month Ziu, even in the second month. In the eleventh year, in the month Baal, this [is] the eighth month, the house was completed according to all its plan, and according to all its arrangement.
1In the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build Yahweh’s house.
2And the house which the king built to the Lord [was] forty cubits in length , and twenty cubits in breadth, and its height five and twenty cubits.
2The house which King Solomon built for Yahweh had a length of sixty cubits, and its width twenty, and its height thirty cubits.
3And the porch in front of the temple—twenty cubits [was] its length according to the breadth of the housein front of the house: and he built the house, and finished it.
3The porch in front of the temple of the house had a length of twenty cubits, which was along the width of the house. Ten cubits was its width in front of the house.
4And he made to the house secret windows inclining inward.
4He made windows of fixed lattice work for the house.
5And against the wall of the househe set chambers round about the temple and the ark.
5Against the wall of the house, he built floors all around, against the walls of the house all around, both of the temple and of the inner sanctuary; and he made side rooms all around.
6The under side [was] five cubits broad, and the middle [part] six , and the third [was] seven cubits broad; for he formed an interval to the house round about without the house , that they might not touch the walls of the house.
6The lowest floor was five cubits wide, and the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around, that the beams should not be inserted into the walls of the house.
7And the housewas built in the constructionof it with rough hewn stones: and there was not heard in the house in the building of it hammer or axe, or any iron tool.
7The house, when it was under construction, was built of stone prepared at the quarry; and no hammer or ax or any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was under construction.
8And the porch of the under side [was] below the right wing of the house, and [there was] a winding ascent into the middle [chamber], and from the middle to the third story.
8The door for the middle side rooms was in the right side of the house. They went up by winding stairs into the middle floor, and out of the middle into the third.
9So he built the house and finished it; and he made the ceiling of the house with cedars.
9So he built the house and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.
10And he made the partitions through all the house, each five cubits high, and enclosed each partition with cedar boards.
10He built the floors all along the house, each five cubits high; and they rested on the house with timbers of cedar.
15And he framed the walls of the house within with cedar boards, from the floor of the house and on to the inner walls and to the beams: he lined the parts enclosed with boards within, and compassed the inward parts of the house with planks of fir.
15He built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood. He covered the floor of the house with cypress boards.
16And he built the twenty cubits from the top of the wall, one side from the floor to the beams, and he made it from the oracle to the most holy place.
16He built twenty cubits of the back part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the ceiling. He built this within, for an inner sanctuary, even for the most holy place.
17And the temple was forty cubits [in extent],
17In front of the temple sanctuary was forty cubits long.
19in front of the oracle in the midst of the house within, [in order] to put there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
19He prepared an inner sanctuary in the middle of the house within, to set the ark of Yahweh’s covenant there.
20The length [was] twenty cubits , and the breadth [was] twenty cubits , and the height of it was twenty cubits . And he covered it with perfect gold, and he made an altar
20Within the inner sanctuary was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in its height. He overlaid it with pure gold. He covered the altar with cedar.
21in front of the oracle, and covered it with gold.
21So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold. He drew chains of gold across before the inner sanctuary, and he overlaid it with gold.
22And he covered the whole house with gold, till he had finished [gilding] the whole house.
22He overlaid the whole house with gold, until all the house was finished. He also overlaid the whole altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary with gold.
23And he made in the oracle two cherubs of ten cubits measured size.
23In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.
24And the wing of one cherub was five cubits, and his other wing was five cubits; ten cubits from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other wing.
24Five cubits was the length of one wing of the cherub, and five cubits was the length of the other wing of the cherub. From the tip of one wing to the tip of the other was ten cubits.
25Thus it was with the other cherub, both were alike finished with one measure .
25The other cherub was ten cubits. Both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
26And the height of the one cherub [was] ten cubits , and so [was it] with the second cherub.
26One cherub was ten cubits high, and so was the other cherub.
27And both the cherubs [were] in the midst of the innermost part of the house; and they spread out their wings, and one wing touched the wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings in the midst of the house touched each other.
27He set the cherubim within the inner house. The wings of the cherubim were stretched out, 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 middle of the house.
28And he covered the cherubs with gold.
28He overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29He graved all the walls of the house round about with the graving of cherubs, and [he sculptured] palm trees within and without [the house].
29He carved all the walls of the house around with carved figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, inside and outside.
30And he covered the floor of the house within and without with gold.
30He overlaid the floor of the house with gold, inside and outside.
31And for the door-way of the oracle he made doors of juniper wood, [there were] porches in a four-fold way.
31For the entrance of the inner sanctuary, he made doors of olive wood. The lintel and door posts were a fifth part of the wall.
34In both the doors [were] planks of fir; the one door had two leaves and their hinges, and the other door had two leaves and turned [on hinges],
34and two doors of cypress wood. The two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
35being carved with cherubs, and [there were] palm -treesand open flower-leaves, and it [was] overlaid with gold gilt upon the engraving.
35He carved cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted on the engraved work.
36And he built the inner court, three rows of hewn stones, and a row of wrought cedar round about, and he made the curtain of the court of the porch of the house that was in front of the temple.
36He built the inner court with three courses of cut stone and a course of cedar beams.
