1 Twenty years passed, after Solomon had built the Lord’s temple and his own palace; 2 then he set about fortifying the towns which Hiram had made over to him, and establishing Israelite inhabitants there.[1] 3 He marched against Emath Suba, and took possession of it, 4 fortified Palmyra, out in the desert, and other fastnesses in the Emath country. 5 He rebuilt Bethoron, upper and lower, making two walled cities there, bolted and barred against attack; 6 Baalath, too, and all those other fortress-cities which bear Solomon’s name, cities where he stationed his chariots and his horsemen. In Jerusalem, on Lebanon, all through his kingdom Solomon built whatever he had the whim to design. 7 Some of the old population was still left, Hethites, Amorrhites, Pherezites, Hevites, Jebusites, that were no true breed of Israel, 8 but came down from the stock which had been spared by the invaders; these king Solomon made into bondservants, as they are to this day. Among the Israelites, 9 he would have no man enslaved to the royal service; it was from these he drew his warriors and his courtiers, the commanders of his chariots and his horsemen. 10 Five hundred and fifty captains king Solomon had, that issued his commands to the people at large. 11 He must build a new house, too, for Pharao’s daughter, so that she might dwell in David’s Keep no longer. I will not house wife of mine, said he, in David’s home, that was king of Israel; the ark of the Lord has found its way there, and it is hallowed ground now. |
1 Expletis autem viginti annis postquam ædificavit Salomon domum Domini et domum suam, 2 civitates quas dederat Hiram Salomoni, ædificavit, et habitare ibi fecit filios Israël. 3 Abiit quoque in Emath Suba, et obtinuit eam. 4 Et ædificavit Palmyram in deserto, et alias civitates munitissimas ædificavit in Emath. 5 Exstruxitque Bethoron superiorem, et Bethoron inferiorem, civitates muratas habentes portas et vectes et seras: 6 Balaath etiam et omnes urbes firmissimas quæ fuerunt Salomonis, cunctasque urbes quadrigarum, et urbes equitum. Omnia quæcumque voluit Salomon atque disposuit, ædificavit in Jerusalem, et in Libano, et in universa terra potestatis suæ. 7 Omnem populum qui derelictus fuerat de Hethæis, et Amorrhæis, et Pherezæis, et Hevæis, et Jebusæis, qui non erant de stirpe Israël, 8 de filiis eorum, et de posteris, quos non interfecerant filii Israël, subjugavit Salomon in tributarios, usque in diem hanc. 9 Porro de filiis Israël non posuit ut servirent operibus regis: ipsi enim erant viri bellatores, et duces primi, et principes quadrigarum et equitum ejus. 10 Omnes autem principes exercitus regis Salomonis fuerunt ducenti quinquaginta, qui erudiebant populum. 11 Filiam vero Pharaonis transtulit de civitate David in domum quam ædificaverat ei. Dixit enim rex: Non habitabit uxor mea in domo David regis Israël, eo quod sanctificata sit: quia ingressa est in eam arca Domini. |
