¶ The .viii. Chaptr.
¶ The cyties, that Salomon buylded after that
the house of God was fynyshed.
A And note it fortuned, that after .xx. yeare,
when Salomon had buylt the house
of the Lorde and hys awne house: he
buylte the cyties that Hiram gaue him, and
put of the chyldren of Israell in them. And
Salomon went to Hamath Zoba, and str&ebar;gthed
it. And he buylt Thadmor in the wyldernesse,
and repayred all the store cyties
which were in Hamath. And he buylt Bethhoron
the vpper and Bethhoron the nether,
stronge cyties, hauynge walles, gates and
barres.
B And Baalah and all the stoare cyties
that Salom&obar; had, and al the charet cyties,
&abar;d the cyties of the horsem&ebar;, and euery
pleasaunt place, that Salomon had lust to
buylde in Ierusalem and Libanon, and thorowe
out all the lande of his dominion.
And all the people that were lefte of the
Hethites, Amorites, Pheresytes, Heuites ∧
Iebusites, which were not of the children of
Israel: but were the children of them, which
were lefte after them in the lande, and were
not consumed of the children of Israel, them
dyd Salomon make to paye trybute vnto
this daye. But of the children of Israel dyd
Salomon make no bondm&ebar; for his worke:
but they were men of warre and rulers and
great Lordes with hym, &abar;d captaynes ouer
his charetes and horsemen. And kyng Salomons
offycers that ouersawe and ruled
the people, were two hundred and fyftye.
C And Salomon brought the daughter of
Pharao out of the cytie of Dauid, into the
house that he had buylded for her. For he
sayd: my wyfe shall not dwel in the house of
Dauid kyng of Israel, for it is holy, because
that the Arcke of the Lorde is come vnto it.
Then Salomon offered burnt offeringes
vnto the Lorde, on the aulter of the Lorde
which he had buylt before the porche, doyng
euery thynge in his due tyme and offerynge
accordynge to the commaundement of Moses,
in the sabbothes, newmoones, and solempne
feastes, note thre tymes in the yeare,
that is to saye, in the feast of swete bread, in
the feast of weakes, and in the feast of tabernacles.
And Salomon set the sortes of preastes
to their offyces, as Dauid his father had ordered
th&ebar;, and the Leuites in theyr watches
for to prayse ∧ ministre before the preastes
daye by daye, and the porters by course at
euery gate. noteFor so had Dauid the man of
God commaunded.
D And they omytted not
the commaundement of the kynge vnto the
preastes and the Leuytes, concernynge eny
maner of thynge, and concernynge the treasures.
For Salomon made prouisi&obar; for the
charges, from the fyrst daye that the foundacion
of the house of the Lorde was layde:
tyll it was fynished, that the house of the
Lorde was perfecte. Then went kyng Salomon
to Ezion Gaber, and to Eloth at the
(reed) see syde in the lande of Edom. And
Hiram sent him by the hande of his seruauntes,
shyppes &abar;d seruauntes that had knowledge
of the see: and they came with the seruauntes
of Salomon to Ophir, and caryed
thence foure hundred and fyftye talentes of
golde, and brought it to kynge Salomon.
