1 After 20 years, King Solomon finished God’s house and his own house. ⛪⌛ 2 Solomon fixed the towns Huram gave back, and he put Israel people to live there. ️️ 3 Solomon went to Hamath-Zobah and won that place. ️⚔️ 4 He built Tadmor in the wild land and made many store towns in Hamath. ️ 5 He built Upper Beth-horon and Lower Beth-horon. He made walls, gates, and bars. 6 He built Baalath, more store towns, chariot towns, horse towns, and all he wanted in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all his land. ️ 7 Some people were not from Israel: Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. 8 Solomon made those people do hard work for the king. This kept going a long time. ️ 9 Solomon did not make Israel people slaves. Israel men were soldiers, leaders, and chariot and horse men. ️⚔️ 10 Solomon had 250 boss men to lead the people. 11 Solomon moved Pharaoh’s daughter from the City of David to her new house. He said his wife would not live in David’s house, because that place was very special to God, where God’s special box came. ➡️♀️✨ 12 Then Solomon gave gifts on fire to God on the big stone table he made. 13 He gave gifts each day. He did what Moses said. He did this on rest days, on new moon days, and at three big God parties: Bread Week, Weeks, and Tents. ⛺ 14 He set the jobs like his dad David said: priests, Levi helpers, singers, and gate guards at each gate. 15 They did what the king told the priests and Levi helpers to do, even with money and stuff. ✅ 16 From the first day to the last day, the work was set and done. God’s house was all done. ️➡️✅⛪ 17 Solomon went to Ezion-geber and Eloth by the sea, in the land of Edom. ♂️️ 18 Huram sent ships and sea men. They went with Solomon’s men to Ophir. They got much gold, 450, and brought it to the king.
