11:004:006 And Ahishar was over the household: and Adoniram the son of
Abda was over the tribute.
11:004:007 And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, which
provided victuals for the king and his household: each man his
month in a year made provision.
11:004:008 And these are their names: The son of Hur, in mount Ephraim:
11:004:009 The son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Bethshemesh,
and Elonbethhanan:
11:004:010 The son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him pertained Sochoh, and all
the land of Hepher:
11:004:011 The son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; which had
Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife:
11:004:012 Baana the son of Ahilud; to him pertained Taanach and Megiddo,
and all Bethshean, which is by Zartanah beneath Jezreel, from
Bethshean to Abelmeholah, even unto the place that is beyond
Jokneam:
11:004:013 The son of Geber, in Ramothgilead; to him pertained the towns
of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead; to him also
pertained the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, threescore
great cities with walls and brasen bars:
11:004:014 Ahinadab the son of Iddo had Mahanaim:
11:004:015 Ahimaaz was in Naphtali; he also took Basmath the daughter of
Solomon to wife:
11:004:016 Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher and in Aloth:
11:004:017 Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar:
11:004:018 Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin:
11:004:019 Geber the son of Uri was in the country of Gilead, in the
country of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king of
Bashan; and he was the only officer which was in the land.
11:004:020 Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in
multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry.
11:004:021 And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river unto the
land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt: they
brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life.
11:004:022 And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of
fine flour, and threescore measures of meal,
11:004:023 Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an
hundred sheep, beside harts, and roebucks, and fallowdeer, and
fatted fowl.
11:004:024 For he had dominion over all the region on this side the
river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on this
side the river: and he had peace on all sides round about him.
11:004:025 And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine
and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the
days of Solomon.
11:004:026 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his
chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
11:004:027 And those officers provided victual for king Solomon, and for
all that came unto king Solomon's table, every man in his
month: they lacked nothing.
11:004:028 Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries brought
they unto the place where the officers were, every man
according to his charge.
11:004:029 And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much,
and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea
shore.
11:004:030 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children
of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
11:004:031 For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and
Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame
was in all nations round about.
11:004:032 And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a
thousand and five.
11:004:033 And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon
even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake
also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of
fishes.
11:004:034 And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon,
from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.
11:005:001 And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he
had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his
father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David.
11:005:002 And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
11:005:003 Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house
unto the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were
about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the
soles of his feet.
11:005:004 But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on every side, so
that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent.
11:005:005 And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the
LORD my God, as the LORD spake unto David my father, saying,
Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall
build an house unto my name.
11:005:006 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.
11:005:007 And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon,
that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be the LORD this
day, which hath given unto David a wise son over this great
people.
11:005:008 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the
things which thou sentest to me for: and I will do all thy
desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of
fir.
11:005:009 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.
11:005:010 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to
all his desire.
11:005:011 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.
11:005:012 And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and
there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a
league together.
11:005:013 And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy
was thirty thousand men.
11:005:014 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses:
a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and
Adoniram was over the levy.
11:005:015 And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens,
and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains;
11:005:016 Beside the chief of Solomon's officers which were over the
work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the
people that wrought in the work.
11:005:017 And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly
stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
11:005:018 And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did hew them, and
the stonesquarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build
the house.
11:006:001 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year
after the children of Israel were come out of the land of
Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in
the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to
build the house of the LORD.
11:006:002 And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the
length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof
twenty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits.
11:006:003 And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits
was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house;
and ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house.
11:006:004 And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.
11:006:005 And against the wall of the house he built chambers round
about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the
temple and of the oracle: and he made chambers round about:
11:006:006 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.
11:006:007 And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone
made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was
neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the
house, while it was in building.
11:006:008 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.
11:006:009 So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house
with beams and boards of cedar.
11:006:010 And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits
high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
11:006:011 And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,
11:006:012 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:
11:006:013 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not
forsake my people Israel.
11:006:014 So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
11:006:015 And he built the walls of the house within with boards of
cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the
ceiling: and he covered them on the inside with wood, and
covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.
11:006:016 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.
11:006:017 And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits
long.
11:006:018 And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and
open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
11:006:019 And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there
the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
11:006:020 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.
11:006:021 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.
11:006:022 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.
11:006:023 And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree,
each ten cubits high.
11:006:024 And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five
cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part
of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten
cubits.
11:006:025 And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubims were
of one measure and one size.
11:006:026 The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of
the other cherub.
11:006:027 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.
11:006:028 And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
11:006:029 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.
11:006:030 And the floors of the house he overlaid with gold, within and
without.
11:006:031 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.
11:006:032 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.
11:006:033 So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive
tree, a fourth part of the wall.
11:006:034 And the two doors were of fir tree: the two leaves of the one
door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were
folding.
11:006:035 And he carved thereon cherubims and palm trees and open
flowers: and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved
work.
11:006:036 And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone,
and a row of cedar beams.
11:006:037 In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD
laid, in the month Zif:
11:006:038 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the
eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts
thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he
seven years in building it.
11:007:001 But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he
finished all his house.
11:007:002 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.
11:007:003 And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay
on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row.
11:007:004 And there were windows in three rows, and light was against
light in three ranks.
11:007:005 And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and
light was against light in three ranks.
11:007:006 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.
11:007:007 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.
11:007:008 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.
11:007:009 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.
11:007:010 And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones,
stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
11:007:011 And above were costly stones, after the measures of hewed
stones, and cedars.
11:007:012 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.
11:007:013 And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
11:007:014 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.
11:007:015 For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high
apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them
about.
11:007:016 And he made two chapiters of molten brass, to set upon the
tops of the pillars: the height of the one chapiter was five
cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits:
11:007:017 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.
11:007:018 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.
11:007:019 And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were
of lily work in the porch, four cubits.
11:007:020 And the chapiters upon the two pillars had pomegranates also
above, over against the belly which was by the network: and
the pomegranates were two hundred in rows round about upon the
other chapiter.
11:007:021 And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he
set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin:
and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof
Boaz.
11:007:022 And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work
of the pillars finished.
11:007:023 And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the
other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits:
and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
11:007:024 And under the brim of it round about there were knops
compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about:
the knops were cast in two rows, when it was cast.
11:007:025 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.
11:007:026 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.
11:007:027 And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of
one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three
cubits the height of it.
11:007:028 And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had
borders, and the borders were between the ledges:
11:007:029 And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions,
oxen, and cherubims: and upon the ledges there was a base
above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions
made of thin work.
11:007:030 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.
11:007:031 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.
11:007:032 And under the borders were four wheels; and the axletrees of
the wheels were joined to the base: and the height of a wheel
was a cubit and half a cubit.
11:007:033 And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot
wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their felloes,
and their spokes, were all molten.
11:007:034 And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one
base: and the undersetters were of the very base itself.
11:007:035 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.
11:007:036 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.
11:007:037 After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one
casting, one measure, and one size.
11:007:038 Then made he ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty
baths: and every laver was four cubits: and upon every one of
the ten bases one laver.
11:007:039 And he put five bases on the right side of the house, and five
on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right
side of the house eastward over against the south.
11:007:040 And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basons. So
Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made king
Solomon for the house of the LORD:
11:007:041 The two pillars, and the two bowls of the chapiters that were
on the top of the two pillars; and the two networks, to cover
the two bowls of the chapiters which were upon the top of the
pillars;
11:007:042 And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, even two
rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls
of the chapiters that were upon the pillars;
11:007:043 And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases;
11:007:044 And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;
11:007:045 And the pots, and the shovels, and the basons: and all these
vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the
LORD, were of bright brass.
11:007:046 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay
ground between Succoth and Zarthan.
11:007:047 And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were
exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out.
11:007:048 And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house
of the LORD: the altar of gold, and the table of gold,
whereupon the shewbread was,
11:007:049 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,
11:007:050 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.
11:007:051 So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house
of the LORD. And Solomon brought in the things which David his
father had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold, and the
vessels, did he put among the treasures of the house of the
LORD.
11:008:001 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads
of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of
Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring
up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of
David, which is Zion.
11:008:002 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king
Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the
seventh month.
11:008:003 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the
ark.
11:008:004 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.
11:008:005 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.
11:008:006 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD
unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy
place, even under the wings of the cherubims.
11:008:007 For the cherubims spread forth their two wings over the place
of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves
thereof above.
