| 1 Now it came about at the end of the twenty years in which Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own house | 1 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house, | 1 It took Solomon 20 years to build the LORD's house and his own house. | 1 It happened at the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the house of Yahweh, and his own house, | 1 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the house of Jehovah and his own house, | 2 that he built the cities which Huram had given to him, and settled the sons of Israel there. | 2 That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there. | 2 He rebuilt the cities Huram gave him, and he had Israelites live in them. | 2 that the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there. | 2 that the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them and caused the children of Israel to dwell there. | 3 Then Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and captured it. | 3 And Solomon went to Hamathzobah, and prevailed against it. | 3 Then Solomon went to Hamath Zobah and conquered it. | 3 Solomon went to Hamath Zobah, and prevailed against it. | 3 And Solomon went to Hamath-Zobah, and overcame it. | 4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness and all the storage cities which he had built in Hamath. | 4 And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath. | 4 He rebuilt Tadmor in the desert and built all the storage cities in Hamath. | 4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the storage cities, which he built in Hamath. | 4 And he built Tadmor, in the wilderness, and all the store-cities, which he built in Hamath. | 5 He also built upper Beth-horon and lower Beth-horon, fortified cities with walls, gates and bars; | 5 Also he built Bethhoron the upper, and Bethhoron the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, and bars; | 5 He rebuilt Upper Beth Horon and Lower Beth Horon into cities fortified with walls, double-door gates, and bars. | 5 Also he built Beth Horon the upper, and Beth Horon the lower, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars; | 5 And he built upper Beth-Horon and lower Beth-Horon, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars; | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 and Baalath and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots and cities for his horsemen, and all that it pleased Solomon to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land under his rule. | 6 And Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion. | 6 [He also rebuilt] Baalath and all the storage cities that he owned. He built all the cities for his chariots, all the cities for his war horses, and whatever [else] he wanted to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, or the entire territory that he governed. | 6 and Baalath, and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion. | 6 and Baalath, and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for chariots, and the cities for the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and on Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion. | 7 All of the people who were left of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel, | 7 As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which were not of Israel, | 7 The Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites had been left [in the land] because the Israelites had not been able to destroy them. They were not Israelites, | 7 As for all the people who were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel; | 7 All the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel, | 8 namely, from their descendants who were left after them in the land whom the sons of Israel had not destroyed, them Solomon raised as forced laborers to this day. | 8 But of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until this day. | 8 but they had descendants who were still in the land. Solomon drafted them for slave labor. (They are still [slaves] today.) | 8 of their children who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel didn't consume, of them Solomon conscripted forced labor to this day. | 8 their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel had not destroyed, upon them did Solomon impose tribute-service until this day. | 9 But Solomon did not make slaves for his work from the sons of Israel; they were men of war, his chief captains and commanders of his chariots and his horsemen. | 9 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots and horsemen. | 9 But Solomon didn't make any of the Israelites slaves for his projects. Instead, they were the soldiers, officers, generals, and commanders of his chariot and cavalry units. | 9 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen. | 9 But of the children of Israel, of them did Solomon make no bondmen for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots and his horsemen. | 10 These were the chief officers of King Solomon, two hundred and fifty who ruled over the people. | 10 And these were the chief of king Solomon's officers, even two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over the people. | 10 These were the officers in charge of King Solomon's projects: 250 foremen for the people who did the work. | 10 These were the chief officers of king Solomon, even two-hundred fifty, who ruled over the people. | 10 And these were the chief of king Solomon's superintendents, two hundred and fifty, that ruled over the people. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 11 Then Solomon brought Pharaoh's daughter up from the city of David to the house which he had built for her, for he said, "My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy where the ark of the LORD has entered." | 11 And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, whereunto the ark of the LORD hath come. | 11 Solomon brought Pharaoh's daughter from the City of David to a palace he had built for her. He said, "My wife will not live in the palace of King David of Israel because these places where the LORD's ark has come are holy." | 11 Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David to the house that he had built for her; for he said, "My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places where the ark of Yahweh has come are holy." | 11 And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David to the house which he had built for her; for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy to which the ark of Jehovah has come. | 12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD which he had built before the porch; | 12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch, | 12 Then Solomon sacrificed burnt offerings to the LORD on the LORD's altar that he built in front of the entrance hall. | 12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar of Yahweh, which he had built before the porch, | 12 Then Solomon offered up burnt-offerings to Jehovah on the altar of Jehovah, which he had built before the porch; | 13 and did so according to the daily rule, offering them up according to the commandment of Moses, for the sabbaths, the new moons and the three annual feasts-- the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks and the Feast of Booths. | 13 Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles. | 13 He sacrificed every day, on weekly worship days, on the New Moon Festivals, and on the three annual festivals (the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of Booths) as Moses had commanded. | 13 even as the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts, three times in the year, [even] in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tents. | 13 even as the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and at the set feasts, three times in the year, at the feast of unleavened bread, and at the feast of weeks, and at the feast of tabernacles. | 14 Now according to the ordinance of his father David, he appointed the divisions of the priests for their service, and the Levites for their duties of praise and ministering before the priests according to the daily rule, and the gatekeepers by their divisions at every gate; for David the man of God had so commanded. | 14 And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise and minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required: the porters also by their courses at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded. | 14 As Solomon's father David had directed, he set up the divisions of priests for their service and the [divisions of] Levites for their appointed places. [The Levites] were to lead in praising [the LORD] and to serve beside the priests by doing whatever needed to be done each day. Solomon also set up divisions of doorkeepers at every gate because this is what David, the man of God, had commanded. | 14 He appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the divisions of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their offices, to praise, and to minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required; the doorkeepers also by their divisions at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded. | 14 And he appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the divisions of the priests for their service, and the Levites for their charges, to praise and serve before the priests, as the duty of every day required; and the doorkeepers by their divisions at every gate: for such was the commandment of David the man of God; | 15 And they did not depart from the commandment of the king to the priests and Levites in any manner or concerning the storehouses. | 15 And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures. | 15 No one neglected the king's orders to the priests or the Levites in any matter, including the [temple's] finances. | 15 They didn't depart from the commandment of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures. | 15 and they did not depart from the commandment of the king to the priests and the Levites concerning any matter, nor concerning the treasures. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 16 Thus all the work of Solomon was carried out from the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed. | 16 Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected. | 16 All of Solomon's work was carried out from the day the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid until it was completed. The LORD's temple was [now] finished. | 16 Now all the work of Solomon was prepared to the day of the foundation of the house of Yahweh, and until it was finished. [So] the house of Yahweh was completed. | 16 And all the work of Solomon was prepared, to the day of the foundation of the house of Jehovah and to its completion. So the house of Jehovah was finished. | 17 Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the seashore in the land of Edom. | 17 Then went Solomon to Eziongeber, and to Eloth, at the sea side in the land of Edom. | 17 Then Solomon went to the coast near Ezion Geber and Elath in Edom. | 17 Then went Solomon to Ezion Geber, and to Eloth, on the seashore in the land of Edom. | 17 Then went Solomon to Ezion-geber, and to Eloth, on the seashore in the land of Edom. | 18 And Huram by his servants sent him ships and servants who knew the sea; and they went with Solomon's servants to Ophir, and took from there four hundred and fifty talents of gold and brought them to King Solomon. | 18 And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon. | 18 Huram sent his own servants and his experienced sailors with ships to Solomon. They went with Solomon's servants to Ophir, got 33,750 pounds of gold, and brought it to King Solomon. | 18 Huram sent him ships and servants who had knowledge of the sea by the hands of his servants; and they came with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and fetched from there four hundred fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon. | 18 And Huram sent him by his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and fetched thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon. |
