1 Kings 9

1 Kings 9

1And it came to pass, when Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] had finished the building of the house of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , and the king’s house, and all Shlomo’s (Solomon) [peace] desire which he was pleased to do,

2That the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) appeared to Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Giv’on [Hill City] .

3And the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto him, I have heard youri prayer and youri supplication, that youi have made before me: I have consecrated this house, which youi have built, to put my name there forever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.

4And if youi will walk before me, as David [beloved] youri father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded youi , [and] will keep my statutes and my judgments:

5Then I will establish the throne of youri kingdom upon Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] forever, as I promised to David [beloved] youri father, saying, There shall not fail youi a man upon the throne of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] .

6[But] if you2f shall at all turn from following me, you2f or your children, and will not keep my commandments [and] my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them:

7Then will I cut off Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have consecrated for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:

8And at this house, [which] is high, everyone that passes by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why has the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) done thus unto this land, and to this house?

9And they shall answer, Because they forsook the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) their God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] , who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] , and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore has the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) brought upon them all this evil.

10And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] had built the two houses, the house of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , and the king’s house,

11([Now] Hiram [noble] the king of Tzor (Tyre) [a rock] had furnished Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire,) that then king Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] gave Hiram [noble] twenty cities in the land of Galil [circuit, district] .

12And Hiram [noble] came out from Tzor (Tyre) [a rock] to see the cities which Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] had given him; and they pleased him not.

13And he said, What cities [are] these which youi have given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Kavul [binding] unto this day.

14And Hiram [noble] sent to the king four tons of gold.

15And this [is] the reason of the levy which king Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] raised; for to build the house of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , and his own house, and Millo [fortification (defensive structure) or mound] , and the wall of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] , and Hatzor [Castle] , and Megiddo [Place of Crowds] , and Gezer [Portion] .

16[For] Par’oh [Pharaoh - Great House] king of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] had gone up, and taken Gezer [Portion] , and burnt it with fire, and slain the Kena’ani [Merchant] that dwelt in the city, and given it [for] a present unto his daughter, Shlomo’s (Solomon) [peace] wife.

17And Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] built Gezer [Portion] , and Beit-Horon [House of Hollowness] the lower,

18And Ba’alat [mistress] , and Tadmor [palm tree] in the wilderness, in the land,

19And all the cities of store that Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen, and that which Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] desired to build in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] , and in L’vanon [Whiteness] , and in all the land of his dominion.

20[And] all the people [that were] left of the Emori [Highlanders] , Hitti [Terrorists] , P’rizi [Dwellers in Unwalled Towns] , Hivi [Villagers] , and Y’vusi [Threshers, Trampled Under Foot] , which [were] not of the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] ,

21Their children that were left after them in the land, whom the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] levy a tribute of bond service unto this day.

22But of the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] did Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] make no bondmen: but they [were] men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots, and his horsemen.

23These [were] the chief of the officers that [were] over Shlomo’s (Solomon) [peace] work, five hundred and fifty, which bore rule over the people that wrought in the work.

24But Par’oh’s [Pharaoh - Great House] daughter came up out of the city of David [beloved] unto her house which [Shlomo (Solomon) [peace]] had built for her: then did he build Millo [fortification (defensive structure) or mound] .

25And three times in a year did Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] offer burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he built unto the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , and he burnt incense upon the altar that [was] before the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) . So he finished the house.

26And king Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] made a navy of ships in ‘Etzyon-Gever [backbone of a man] , which [is] beside Elot [grove of lofty trees] , on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom [Red] .

27And Hiram [noble] sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] .

28And they came to Ofir [reducing to ashes] , and fetched from there gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought [it] to king Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] .
