ThomsonAND when king Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and every design which it was his pleasure to execute,

BrentonAnd it came to pass when Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all the work of Solomon, whatever he wished to perform,

GreekΚαὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς συνετέλεσε Σαλωμὼν οἰκοδομεῖν τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου, καὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν πραγματείαν Σαλωμὼν, ὅσα ἠθέλησε ποιῆσαι,

Thomsonthe Lord appeared to Solomon a second time as He appeared at Gabaon and said to him,

Brentonthat the Lord appeared to Solomon a second time, as he appeared in Gabaon.

Greekκαὶ ὤφθη Κύριος τῷ Σαλωμὼν δεύτερον, καθὼς ὤφθη ἐν Γαβαών.

ThomsonI have heard thy prayer and thy supplication which thou hast made before Me, and have done for thee according to all thy prayer. I have hallowed this house which thou hast built to put My name there forever, and My eyes and My heart shall be there continually.

BrentonAnd the Lord said to him, I have heard the voice of thy prayer, and thy supplication which thou madest before me: I have done for thee according to all thy prayer: I have hallowed this house which thou hast built to put my name there for ever, and mine eyes and my heart shall be there always.

GreekΚαὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν Κύριος, ἤκουσα τῆς φωνῆς τῆς προσευχῆς σου, καὶ τῆς δεήσεώς σου ἧς ἐδεήθης ἐνώπιόν μου· πεποίηκά σοι κατὰ πᾶσαν τὴν προσευχήν σου· ἡγίακα τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον ὃν ᾠκοδόμησας τοῦ θέσθαι τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, καὶ ἔσονται οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου ἐκεῖ καὶ ἡ καρδία μου πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας.

ThomsonAnd if thou wilt walk before Me, as thy father David did, with integrity of heart and with uprightness, and do according to all that I commanded him, and keep My statutes and My commandments,

BrentonAnd if thou wilt walk before me as David thy father walked, in holiness of heart and uprightness, and so as to do according to all that I commanded him, and shalt keep my ordinances and my commandments:

GreekΚαὶ σὺ ἐὰν πορευθῇς ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ, καθὼς ἐπορεύθη Δαυὶδ ὁ πατήρ σου, ἐν ὁσιότητι καρδίας καὶ ἐν εὐθύτητι, καὶ τοῦ ποιεῖν κατὰ πάντα ἃ ἐνετειλάμην αὐτῷ, καὶ τὰ προστάγματά μου καὶ τὰς ἐντολάς μου φυλάξῃς,

ThomsonI will establish the throne of thy kingdom in Israel for this age, as I promised thy father David, saying, There shall not fail thee a man ruling in Israel.

Brentonthen will I establish the throne of thy kingdom in Israel for ever, as I spoke to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to rule in Israel.

Greekκαὶ ἀναστήσω τὸν θρόνον τῆς βασιλείας σου ἐν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, καθὼς ἐλάλησα Δαυὶδ πατρί σου, λέγων, οὐκ ἐξαρθήσεταί σοι ἀνὴρ ἡγούμενος ἐν Ἰσραήλ.

ThomsonBut if you and your children turn aside from Me, and do not keep My commandments and My statutes, which Moses hath laid before you, but go and serve strange gods and worship them;

BrentonBut if ye or your children do in any wise revolt from me, and do not keep my commandments and my ordinances, which Moses set before you, and ye go and serve other gods, and worship them:

GreekἘὰν δὲ ἀποστραφέντες ἀποστραφῆτε ὑμεῖς καὶ τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ μὴ φυλάξητε τὰς ἐντολάς μου καὶ τὰ προστάγματά μου ἃ ἔδωκε Μωυσῆς ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν, καὶ πορευθῆτε καὶ δουλεύσητε θεοῖς ἑτέροις καὶ προσκυνήσητε αὐτοῖς,

ThomsonI will assuredly remove Israel from the land which I gave them, and cast out of My sight this house which I have hallowed for My name; and Israel shall be a desolation and a byword among all peoples;

Brentonthen will I cut off Israel from the land which I have given them, and this house which I have consecrated to my name I will cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a desolation and a by-word to all nations.

Greekκαὶ ἐξαρῶ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ἧς ἔδωκα αὐτοῖς, καὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον ὃν ἡγίασα τῷ ὀνόματί μου ἀποῤῥίψω ἐκ προσώπου μου· καὶ ἔσται Ἰσραὴλ εἰς ἀφανισμὸν καὶ εἰς λάλημα εἰς πάντας τοὺς λαούς.

Thomsonand this stately house shall be reduced to such a condition that everyone who passeth by it will be astonished and will, with expressions of pity, say, Why hath the Lord dealt thus with this land and with this house?

BrentonAnd this house, which is high, shall be so that every one that passes by it shall be amazed, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Wherefore has the Lord done thus to this land, and to this house?

GreekΚαὶ ὁ οἶκος οὗτος ἔσται ὁ ὑψηλὸς, πᾶς ὁ διαπορευόμενος διʼ αὐτοῦ ἐκστήσεται καὶ συριεῖ, καὶ ἐροῦσιν, ἕνεκεν τίνος ἐποίησε Κύριος οὕτως τῇ γῇ ταύτῃ καὶ τῷ οἴκῳ τούτῳ;

ThomsonTo which answer will be made, Because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought their fathers out of Egypt—out of the house of bondage; and in His stead chose strange gods, and worshipped and served them, therefore the Lord hath brought upon them this calamity.

BrentonAnd men shall say, Because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought out their fathers from Egypt, out of the house of bondage, and they attached themselves to strange gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore the Lord has brought this evil upon them.

GreekΚαὶ ἐροῦσιν, ἀνθʼ ὧν ἐγκατέλιπον Κύριον Θεὸν αὐτῶν, ὃς ἐξήγαγε τοὺς πατέρας αὐτῶν ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, ἐξ οἴκου δουλείας, καὶ ἀντελάβοντο θεῶν ἀλλοτρίων καὶ προσεκύνησαν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐδούλευσαν αὐτοῖς, διὰ τοῦτο ἐπήγαγε Κύριος ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς τὴν κακίαν ταύτην.

Thomson—

BrentonThen Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharao out of the city of David into his house which he built for himself in those days.

GreekΤότε ἀνήγαγε Σαλωμὼν τὴν θυγατέρα Φαραὼ ἐκ πόλεως Δαυὶδ εἰς οἶκον αὐτοῦ, ὃν ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐαυτῷ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις.

ThomsonThen Solomon brought Pharao’s daughter up out of the city of David to the house which he had built for himself. In those days, during the twenty years in which Solomon was building the two houses, the house of the Lord and the king’s house,

BrentonDuring twenty years in which Solomon was building the two houses, the house of the Lord, and the house of the king,

GreekΕἴκοσι ἔτη ἐν οἷς ᾠκοδόμησε Σαλωμὼν τοὺς δύο οἴκους, τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου καὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως,

ThomsonChiram, king of Tyre, supplied Solomon with cedar timber and pine trees, and with gold and whatever he desired; therefore the king then gave Chiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

BrentonChiram king of Tyre helped Solomon with cedar wood, and fir wood, and with gold, and all that he wished for: then the king gave Chiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

GreekΧιρὰμ βασιλεὺς Τύρου ἀντελάβετο τοῦ Σαλωμὼν ἐν ξύλοις κεδρίνοις, καὶ ἐν ξύλοις πευκίνοις, καὶ ἐν χρυσίῳ, καὶ ἐν χρυσίῳ, καὶ ἐν παντὶ θελήματι αὐτοῦ· τότε ἔδωκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Χιρὰμ εἴκοσι πόλεις ἐν τῇ γῇ τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ.

ThomsonBut when Chiram came from Tyre and went to Galilee to see the cities which Solomon gave him, they did not please him; therefore he said,

BrentonSo Chiram departed from Tyre, and went into Galilee to see the cities which Solomon gave to him; and they pleased him not. And he said,

GreekΚαὶ ἐξήλθε Χιρὰμ ἐκ Τύρου, καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν τοῦ ἰδεῖν τὰς πόλεις ἃς ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Σαλωμών· καὶ οὐκ ἤρεσαν αὐτῷ.

ThomsonWhat are these cities, my brother, which thou hast given me? And he called them Little Mount, which is now their name.

BrentonWhat are these cities which thou hast given me, brother? And he called them Boundary until this day.

GreekΚαὶ εἶπε, τί αἱ πόλεις αὗται ἃς ἔδωκάς μοι ἀδελφέ; καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὰς Ὅριον ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.

ThomsonNevertheless Chiram brought Solomon a hundred and twenty talents of gold.

BrentonAnd Chiram brought to Solomon a hundred and twenty talents of gold,

GreekΚαὶ ἤνεγκε Χιρὰμ τῷ Σαλωμὼν ἑκατὸν καὶ εἴκοσι τάλαντα χρυσίου.

ThomsonFor on board the fleet which king Solomon built at Gasion-Gaber, and which was then at Ailath, on the border of the farther sea in the land of Edom—

Brentoneven that for which king Solomon built a ship in Gasion Gaber near Ælath on the shore of the extremity of the sea in the land of Edom.

GreekΚαὶ ναῦν ὑπὲρ οὗ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν ἐν Γασίων Γαβὲρ τὴν οὖσαν ἐχομένην Αἰλὰθ ἐπὶ τοῦ χείλους τῆς ἐσχάτης θαλάσσης ἐν γῇ Ἐδώμ.

Thomsonin this fleet Chiram sent some of his servants who were seamen and skilled in the navigation of that sea, along with the servants of Solomon,

BrentonAnd Chiram sent in the ship together with the servants of Solomon servants of his own, mariners to row, men acquainted with the sea.

GreekΚαὶ ἀπέστειλε Χιρὰμ ἐν τῇ νηῒ τῶν παίδων αὐτοῦ ἄνδρας ναυτικοὺς ἐλαύνειν εἰδότας θάλασσαν μετὰ τῶν παίδων Σαλωμών.

Thomsonand they went to Sophira and took thence a hundred and twenty talents of gold and brought it to king Solomon.

BrentonAnd they came to Sophira, and took thence a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.

GreekΚαὶ ἦλθον εἰς Σωφιρὰ, καὶ ἔλαβον ἐκεῖθεν χρυσίου ἑκατὸν καὶ εἴκοσι τάλαντα, καὶ ἤνεγκαν τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμών.
