And it came to pass at the endH7093 of twentyH6242 yearsH8141, wherein SolomonH8010 had builtH1129 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and his own houseH1004,
That the citiesH5892 which HuramH2361 had restoredH5414 to SolomonH8010, SolomonH8010 builtH1129 them, and caused the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 to dwellH3427 there.
And SolomonH8010 wentH3212 to HamathzobahH2578, and prevailedH2388 against it.
And he builtH1129 TadmorH8412 in the wildernessH4057, and all the storeH4543 citiesH5892, which he builtH1129 in HamathH2574.
Also he builtH1129 BethhoronH1032 the upperH5945, and BethhoronH1032 the netherH8481, fencedH4692 citiesH5892, with wallsH2346, gatesH1817, and barsH1280;
And BaalathH1191, and all the storeH4543 citiesH5892 that SolomonH8010 had, and all the chariotH7393 citiesH5892, and the citiesH5892 of the horsemenH6571, and all that SolomonH8010 desiredH2836+H2837 to buildH1129 in JerusalemH3389, and in LebanonH3844, and throughout all the landH776 of his dominionH4475. {all that…: Heb. all the desire of Solomon which he desired to build}
As for all the peopleH5971 that were leftH3498 of the HittitesH2850, and the AmoritesH567, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the HivitesH2340, and the JebusitesH2983, which were not of IsraelH3478,
But of their childrenH1121, who were leftH3498 afterH310 them in the landH776, whom the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 consumedH3615 not, them did SolomonH8010 make to payH5927 tributeH4522 until this dayH3117.
But of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did SolomonH8010 makeH5414 no servantsH5650 for his workH4399; but they were menH582 of warH4421, and chiefH8269 of his captainsH7991, and captainsH8269 of his chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571.
And these were the chiefH8269 of kingH4428 Solomon'sH8010 officersH5324+H5333, even two hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572, that bare ruleH7287 over the peopleH5971.
And SolomonH8010 brought upH5927 the daughterH1323 of PharaohH6547 out of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 unto the houseH1004 that he had builtH1129 for her: for he saidH559, My wifeH802 shall not dwellH3427 in the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, because the places are holyH6944, whereunto the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 hath comeH935. {holy: Heb. holiness}
Then SolomonH8010 offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 unto the LORDH3068 on the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, which he had builtH1129 beforeH6440 the porchH197,
Even after a certain rateH1697 every dayH3117, offeringH5927 according to the commandmentH4687 of MosesH4872, on the sabbathsH7676, and on the new moonsH2320, and on the solemn feastsH4150, threeH7969 timesH6471 in the yearH8141, even in the feastH2282 of unleavened breadH4682, and in the feastH2282 of weeksH7620, and in the feastH2282 of tabernaclesH5521.
And he appointedH5975, according to the orderH4941 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1, the coursesH4256 of the priestsH3548 to their serviceH5656, and the LevitesH3881 to their chargesH4931, to praiseH1984 and ministerH8334 before the priestsH3548, as the dutyH1697 of every dayH3117 requiredH3117: the portersH7778 also by their coursesH4256 at every gateH8179: for so had DavidH1732 the manH376 of GodH430 commandedH4687. {so had David…: Heb. so was the commandment of David the man of God}
And they departedH5493 not from the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428 unto the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 concerning any matterH1697, or concerning the treasuresH214.
Now all the workH4399 of SolomonH8010 was preparedH3559 unto the dayH3117 of the foundationH4143 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and until it was finishedH3615. So the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 was perfectedH8003.
Then wentH1980 SolomonH8010 to EziongeberH6100, and to ElothH359, at the seaH3220 sideH8193 in the landH776 of EdomH123. {Eloth: also called, Elath, Deut.2.8.}
And HuramH2361 sentH7971 him by the handsH3027 of his servantsH5650 shipsH591+H591, and servantsH5650 that had knowledgeH3045 of the seaH3220; and they wentH935 with the servantsH5650 of SolomonH8010 to OphirH211, and tookH3947 thence fourH702 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 talentsH3603 of goldH2091, and broughtH935 them to kingH4428 SolomonH8010.

And he builtH1129 TadmorH8412 in the wildernessH4057, and all the storeH4543 citiesH5892, which he builtH1129 in HamathH2574.
And SolomonH8010 gatheredH622 chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571: and he had a thousandH505 and fourH702 hundredH3967 chariotsH7393, and twelveH8147+H6240 thousandH505 horsemenH6571, which he placedH3240 in the chariotH7393 citiesH5892, and with the kingH4428 at JerusalemH3389.
And all the citiesH5892 of storeH4543 that SolomonH8010 had, and citiesH5892 for his chariotsH7393, and citiesH5892 for his horsemenH6571, and thatH2837 which SolomonH8010 desiredH2836 to buildH1129 in JerusalemH3389, and in LebanonH3844, and in all the landH776 of his dominionH4475. {that which…: Heb. the desire of Solomon which he desired}
He builtH1129 also the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844; the lengthH753 thereof was an hundredH3967 cubitsH520, and the breadthH7341 thereof fiftyH2572 cubitsH520, and the heightH6967 thereof thirtyH7970 cubitsH520, upon fourH702 rowsH2905 of cedarH730 pillarsH5982, with cedarH730 beamsH3773 upon the pillarsH5982.
And JehoshaphatH3092 waxedH1980 greatH1432 exceedinglyH4605; and he builtH1129 in JudahH3063 castlesH1003, and citiesH5892 of storeH4543. {castles: or, palaces}
And SolomonH8010 gathered togetherH622 chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571: and he had a thousandH505 and fourH702 hundredH3967 chariotsH7393, and twelveH8147+H6240 thousandH505 horsemenH6571, whom he bestowedH5148 in the citiesH5892 for chariotsH7393, and with the kingH4428 at JerusalemH3389.
ComeH935 with me from LebanonH3844, my spouseH3618, with me from LebanonH3844: lookH7789 from the topH7218 of AmanaH549, from the topH7218 of ShenirH8149 and HermonH2768, from the lions'H738 densH4585, from the mountainsH2042 of the leopardsH5246.
And all the citiesH5892 of storeH4543 that SolomonH8010 had, and citiesH5892 for his chariotsH7393, and citiesH5892 for his horsemenH6571, and thatH2837 which SolomonH8010 desiredH2836 to buildH1129 in JerusalemH3389, and in LebanonH3844, and in all the landH776 of his dominionH4475. {that which…: Heb. the desire of Solomon which he desired}
And whatsoever mine eyesH5869 desiredH7592 I keptH680 not from them, I withheldH4513 not my heartH3820 from any joyH8057; for my heartH3820 rejoicedH8056 in all my labourH5999: and this was my portionH2506 of all my labourH5999.
Then I lookedH6437 on all the worksH4639 that my handsH3027 had wroughtH6213, and on the labourH5999 that I had labouredH5998 to doH6213: and, behold, all was vanityH1892 and vexationH7469 of spiritH7307, and there was no profitH3504 under the sunH8121.
And I turnedH6437 myself to beholdH7200 wisdomH2451, and madnessH1947, and follyH5531: for what can the manH120 do that comethH935 afterH310 the kingH4428? even that which hath been alreadyH3528 doneH6213. {even…: or, in those things which have been already done}
Then I sawH7200 thatH3426 wisdomH2451 excellethH3504 follyH5531, as far as lightH216 excellethH3504 darknessH2822. {that…: Heb. that there is an excellency in wisdom more than in folly, etc}
The wise man'sH2450 eyesH5869 are in his headH7218; but the foolH3684 walkethH1980 in darknessH2822: and I myself perceivedH3045 also that oneH259 eventH4745 happenethH7136 to them all.
ThenH227 saidH559 I in my heartH3820, As it happenethH4745 to the foolH3684, so it happenethH7136 even to meH1571; and why was I then moreH3148 wiseH2449? Then I saidH1696 in my heartH3820, that this also is vanityH1892. {happeneth even…: Heb. happeneth to me, even to me}
For there is no remembranceH2146 of the wiseH2450 more thanH5973 of the foolH3684 for everH5769; seeing that which nowH3528 is in the daysH3117 to comeH935 shall all be forgottenH7911. And how diethH4191 the wiseH2450 man? as the foolH3684.
Therefore I hatedH8130 lifeH2416; because the workH4639 that is wroughtH6213 under the sunH8121 is grievousH7451 unto me: for all is vanityH1892 and vexationH7469 of spiritH7307.
Yea, I hatedH8130 all my labourH5999 which I had takenH6001 under the sunH8121: because I should leaveH3240 it unto the manH120 that shall be afterH310 me. {taken: Heb. laboured}
And who knowethH3045 whether he shall be a wiseH2450 man or a foolH5530? yet shall he have ruleH7980 over all my labourH5999 wherein I have labouredH5998, and wherein I have shewed myself wiseH2449 under the sunH8121. This is also vanityH1892.
Therefore I went aboutH5437 to causeH2976 my heartH3820 to despairH2976 of all the labourH5999 which I tookH5998 under the sunH8121.
For there isH3426 a manH120 whose labourH5999 is in wisdomH2451, and in knowledgeH1847, and in equityH3788; yet to a manH120 that hath not labouredH5998 therein shall he leaveH5414 it for his portionH2506. This also is vanityH1892 and a greatH7227 evilH7451. {leave: Heb. give}
For what hathH1933 manH120 of all his labourH5999, and of the vexationH7475 of his heartH3820, whereinH1931 he hath labouredH6001 under the sunH8121?
For all his daysH3117 are sorrowsH4341, and his travailH6045 griefH3708; yea, his heartH3820 taketh not restH7901 in the nightH3915. This is also vanityH1892.
There is nothing betterH2896 for a manH120, than that he should eatH398 and drinkH8354, and that he should make his soulH5315 enjoyH7200 goodH2896 in his labourH5999. ThisH2090 also I sawH7200, that it was from the handH3027 of GodH430. {should make…: or, delight his senses}
For who can eatH398, or who else can hastenH2363 hereunto, moreH2351 than I?
For God givethH5414 to a manH120 that is goodH2896 in his sightH6440 wisdomH2451, and knowledgeH1847, and joyH8057: but to the sinnerH2398 he givethH5414 travailH6045, to gatherH622 and to heap upH3664, that he may giveH5414 to him that is goodH2896 beforeH6440 GodH430. This also is vanityH1892 and vexationH7469 of spiritH7307. {in his…: Heb. before him}
