The VIII. Chapter.
A And after twentye yeares (wherin Salomon
buylded the house of the LORDE
and his awue house) he buylded
the cyties also which Hiram gaue vnto Salomon,
and caused the children of Israel to
dwell therin. And Salomon wente vnto Hemath
Zoba, and made it stronge, and buylded
Thadmor in the wyldernes, and all the
cornecyties which he buylded in Hemath.
He buylded the vpper and lower Bethoron
likewyse, so that they were stronge cities &wt;
walles, portes and barres. And Baelath,
and all the cornecites which Salomon had,
and all the cities of the charettes and of the
horse men, and all that Salomon had lust
to buylde, both at Ierusalem and vpon Libanus,
and in all the londe of his domynion.
B All the remnaunt of the people of the Hethites,
Amorites, Pheresites, Heuites and
Iebusites, which were not of the children of
Israel, and their children which they had
lefte behynde them in the londe, (whom the
children of Israel had not vtterly destroied)
those dyd Salomon make trybutaries vnto
this daye. As for the children of Israel, Salomon
made no bondmen of them vnto his
worke, but they were men of warre, and chefe
captaynes, and ouer his charettes ∧ horsmen.
And the chefe of kynge Salomons officers
were two hundreth and fyftie, which
ruled the people.
And Salomon caused Pharaos doughter
to be fetched vp out of the cite of Dauid,
in to the house that he had bnylded for her:
for he sayde: My wyfe shall not dwell in the
house of Dauid the kynge of Israel, for it is
sanctifyed, in as moch as þe; Arke of the LORDE
is come in to it.
C Then offred Salomon burntofferynges
vnto the LORDE vpon the LORDES altare,
which he had buylded before the porche,
euery one vpon his daye to offre after the c&obar;maundement
of Moses, on the Sabbathes,
Newmones ∧ at the appoynted seasons of
the yeare, euen thre tymes, namely in þe; feast
of vnleuended bred, in the feast of wekes, ∧
in the feast of Tabernacles.
And he set the prestes in ordre to their ministracion
note acordynge as Dauid his father
had appoynted, and the Leuites in their offyces,
to geue thankes and to mynister in the
presence of the prestes, euery one vpon his
daye. And the dorekepers in their courses, euery
one at his dore, for so had Dauid the m&abar;
of God commaunded.
D And they departed not from the kynges
commaundement ouer the prestes and Leuites
in euery matter and in the treasures.
Thus was all Salomons busynesse made
ready, from the daye that the foundacion of
the LORDES house was layed, tyll it was fynished,
so that the house of the LORDE was
all prepared.
noteThen wente Salomon vnto Ezeon Geber,
and vnto Eloth by the See syde in the
londe of Edomea. And Hiram sent him shippes
by his seruauntes which had knowlege
of the See, and they wente with Salom&obar;s
seruauntes vnto Ophir, and fetched from
thence foure hundreth and fyftye talentes
of golde, and broughte it vnto kynge Salomon.
