62 And the king, and all Israél with him s« offered sacrifice before ’ the Lorp.
6 And Solomon fice_of xpeace_offerings, which he = of- fered unto the Lorp, two and twenty thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the_sechildren_of Israél dedi- cated -the_house_of ! the Lorp,
6 The same «day did the king hallow -the_middle_of the court that was be- fore the_-house_of Jthe Lorp: for) there he poffered «xburnt_offerings, and g *meat_oflerings, and -the_fat_of the peace_offerings : because the brazen altar that was before 4 the Lorp was too little to receive -the « burnt_offer- ings, and 9 Xmeat_offerings, and +the_ fat_of the peace_offerings.
6 And at xthat xtime Solomon held a *feast, and all Israél with him, a great as congregation, from the_pe entering_ in_of Hamath unto the_river_of Egypt, before / the Lorp our =God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.
On the eighth xday he sent -the people away: and they blessed -the king, and went unto their ¢ tents joy- ful and glad_of heart for all the good- ness that Jthe Lorp had_done for David His servant. and for Israél His
people.

every_one +that_passeth by it shall_be_ astonished, and -shall_hiss; and they -shall_say, ‘Why shath / the Lorp done thus unto xthis xland, and to xthis xhouse ?’
® And they -shall_answer, ‘Because they forsook J+the Lorp their =God, who brought_forth their -fathers out_ of the_land_of Egypt, and have_taken_ hold upon other gods, and have_wor- shipped them, and served them : there- fore hath ‘the Lorp brought upon them: all xthis
10 And it came_to_pass at the_end_of twenty years, when Solomon had_built «the two xhouses, -the_house_of / the Lorp, and the king’s “house,
11 (Now Hiram the_king_of Tyre had_ furnished Solomon with cedar trees and ¢ fir trees, and with gold, according_to all his desire,) that then *king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the_land_ of Galilee.
® And Hiram came_out from Tyre to see «the cities which Solomon had_ given him; and they ~ pleased him not.
13 And he said, “What xcities are xthese which thou hast_given me, my brother?” And he called them the_ land_of c« Cabul unto «this xday.
14 And Hiram sent to the king six- score talents_of gold.
15 And this is the_reason_of the ‘levy which xking Solomon raised; for to build -the_house_of / the Lorp, and his_own -house, and xMillo, and -the_ wall_of Jerusalem, and -Hazor, and
*-|«Megiddo; and y-Gezer. «
16 or Pharaoh king_of Egypt had_ gone_up, and taken -Gezer, and burnt it with «fire, and slain -the Canaanites xithat dwelt in the city, and given it for a 4present unto his. daughter, Solomon’s wife.
17 And Solomon built -Gezer, and ~Beth-horon the nether,
18 And -Baalath, and “Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,
19 And rall the_cities_of xstore that Solomon had, and -cities for his xcha- riots, and «cities for his xhorsemen, and -that_which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in xLebanon, and in all the_land_of his dominion.
20 And all the -people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, xPerizzites, xHivites, and xJebusites, which were not of the_s children_of Israél,
21 Their s children that were_left after them in the land, whom the-_s children_ of Israél also were not able utterly_to_ destroy, upon those did Solomon levy a tribute_of bond-service unto «this xday. j
2 But of the_schildren_of Israél did Solomon make no bondmen : but they were «men_of xwar, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains; and rulers_of his chariots, and his horse- men. *
