2nd Chronicles 历代志下08

（单词翻译）

8At the end of twenty years, during which Solomon built the temple of the Lord and his own palace,
2Solomon rebuilt the villages that Hiram had given him, and settled Israelites in them.
3Solomon then went to Hamath Zobah and captured it.
4He also built up Tadmor in the desert and all the store cities he had built in Hamath.
5He rebuilt Upper Beth Horon and Lower Beth Horon as fortified¹ cities, with walls and with gates and bars,
6as well as Baalath and all his store cities, and all the cities for his chariots and for his horses -whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon and throughout all the territory he ruled.
7All the people left from the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites (these peoples were not Israelites),
8that is, their descendants remaining in the land, whom the Israelites had not destroyed-these Solomon conscripted for his slave labor² force, as it is to this day.
9But Solomon did not make slaves of the Israelites for his work; they were his fighting men, commanders of his captains, and commanders of his chariots and charioteers.
10They were also King Solomon's chief officials-two hundred and fifty officials supervising the men.
11Solomon brought Pharaoh's daughter up from the City of David to the palace he had built for her, for he said, "My wife must not live in the palace of David king of Israel, because the places the ark of the Lord has entered are holy."
12On the altar of the Lord that he had built in front of the portico³, Solomon sacrificed burnt offerings to the Lord ,
13according to the daily requirement for offerings commanded by Moses for Sabbaths, New Moons and the three annual feasts-the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks and the Feast of Tabernacles.
14In keeping with the ordinance⁴ of his father David, he appointed the divisions of the priests for their duties, and the Levites to lead the praise and to assist the priests according to each day's requirement. He also appointed the gatekeepers by divisions for the various gates, because this was what David the man of God had ordered.
15They did not deviate⁵ from the king's commands to the priests or to the Levites in any matter, including that of the treasuries⁶.
16All Solomon's work was carried out, from the day the foundation of the temple of the Lord was laid until its completion. So the temple of the Lord was finished.
17Then Solomon went to Ezion Geber and Elath on the coast of Edom.
18And Hiram sent him ships commanded by his own officers, men who knew the sea. These, with Solomon's men, sailed to Ophir and brought back four hundred and fifty talents of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
