所羅門建之、

所羅門為天主建殿、

至所羅門始為天主建殿。

But it was Solomon who built a house for him.

But it was Solomon who built the temple for God.

But it was Solomon who built a house for him.

But it was Solomon who actually built it.

It was Solomon, rather, who built him a house,

But it was Solomon who built a house for Him.

But Solomon built Him a house.

But Solomon built him a house.

But it was Solomon who built Him a house.

But Solomon built him an house.

But Solomon built a house for him.

Yahweh has established his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh promised, and have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

The foundation of Yahweh’s house was laid in the fourth year, in the month Ziv.In the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished throughout all its parts, and according to all its specifications. So he spent seven years building it.

He will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

Now Solomon decided to build a house for Yahweh’s name, and a house for his kingdom.Solomon counted out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, eighty thousand men who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred to oversee them.Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying,“ As you dealt with David my father, and sent him cedars to build him a house in which to dwell, so deal with me.Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of Yahweh my God, to dedicate it to him, to burn before him incense of sweet spices, for the continual show bread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts of Yahweh our God. This is an ordinance forever to Israel.

When David lived in his house, David said to Nathan the prophet,“ Behold, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of Yahweh’s covenant is in a tent.”

Then Solomon began to build Yahweh’s house at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where Yahweh appeared to David his father, which he prepared in the place that David had appointed, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the place of his father, and Hiram had always loved David.Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,“ You know that David my father could not build a house for the name of Yahweh his God because of the wars which were around him on every side, until Yahweh put his enemies under the soles of his feet.But now Yahweh my God has given me rest on every side. There is no enemy and no evil occurrence.Behold, I intend to build a house for the name of Yahweh my God, as Yahweh spoke to David my father, saying,‘ Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place shall build the house for my name.’Now therefore command that cedar trees be cut for me out of Lebanon. My servants will be with your servants; and I will give you wages for your servants according to all that you say. For you know that there is nobody among us who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians.”When Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly, and said,“ Blessed is Yahweh today, who has given to David a wise son to rule over this great people.”Hiram sent to Solomon, saying,“ I have heard the message which you have sent to me. I will do all your desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning cypress timber.My servants will bring them down from Lebanon to the sea. I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place that you specify to me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and you will receive them. You will accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.”So Hiram gave Solomon cedar timber and cypress timber according to all his desire.Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat for food to his household, and twenty cors of pure oil. Solomon gave this to Hiram year by year.Yahweh gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him. There was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty together.King Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.He sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses; for a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home; and Adoniram was over the men subject to forced labor.Solomon had seventy thousand who bore burdens, and eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains;besides Solomon’s chief officers who were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, who ruled over the people who labored in the work.The king commanded, and they cut out large stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with worked stone.Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders and the Gebalites cut them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.In the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build Yahweh’s house.The house which king Solomon built for Yahweh had a length of sixty cubits, and its width twenty, and its height thirty cubits.

King Solomon sent and brought Hiram out of Tyre.He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill, to work all works in bronze. He came to king Solomon, and performed all his work.For he fashioned the two pillars of bronze, eighteen cubits high apiece; and a line of twelve cubits encircled either of them.He made two capitals of molten bronze, to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits.There were nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital.So he made the pillars; and there were two rows around on the one network, to cover the capitals that were on the top of the pillars: and he did so for the other capital.The capitals that were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily work, four cubits.There were capitals above also on the two pillars, close by the belly which was beside the network. There were two hundred pomegranates in rows around the other capital.He set up the pillars at the porch of the temple. He set up the right pillar, and called its name Jachin; and he set up the left pillar, and called its name Boaz.On the top of the pillars was lily work: so the work of the pillars was finished.He made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in shape. Its height was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits encircled it.Under its brim around there were buds which encircled it for ten cubits, encircling the sea. The buds were in two rows, cast when it was cast.It stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was set on them above, and all their hindquarters were inward.It was a hand width thick. Its brim was worked like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily. It held two thousand baths.He made the ten bases of bronze. The length of one base was four cubits, four cubits its width, and three cubits its height.The work of the bases was like this: they had panels; and there were panels between the ledges;and on the panels that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and on the ledges there was a pedestal above; and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.Every base had four bronze wheels, and axles of bronze; and the four feet of it had supports. The supports were cast beneath the basin, with wreaths at the side of each.Its mouth within the capital and above was a cubit. Its mouth was round after the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its mouth were engravings, and their panels were square, not round.The four wheels were underneath the panels; and the axles of the wheels were in the base. The height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.The work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel. Their axles, and their rims, and their spokes, and their naves, were all of cast metal.There were four supports at the four corners of each base. Its supports were of the base itself.In the top of the base there was a round band half a cubit high; and on the top of the base its supports and its panels were the same.On the plates of its supports, and on its panels, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, each in its space, with wreaths all around.He made the ten bases in this way: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.He made ten basins of bronze. One basin contained forty baths; and every basin was four cubits; and on every one of the ten bases one basin.He set the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house. He set the sea on the right side of the house eastward and toward the south.Hiram made the pots, the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram finished doing all the work that he worked for king Solomon in Yahweh’s house:the two pillars; the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars;the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars;the ten bases; the ten basins on the bases;the one sea; the twelve oxen under the sea;the pots; the shovels; and the basins: even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in Yahweh’s house, were of burnished bronze.The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because there were so many of them. The weight of the bronze could not be determined.Solomon made all the vessels that were in Yahweh’s house: the golden altar and the table that the show bread was on, of gold;and the lamp stands, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;the cups, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and the fire pans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, of the temple, of gold.Thus all the work that king Solomon did in Yahweh’s house was finished. Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated, the silver, the gold, and the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of Yahweh’s house.

and speak to him, saying,‘ Yahweh of Armies says,“ Behold, the man whose name is the Branch: and he shall grow up out of his place; and he shall build Yahweh’s temple;even he shall build Yahweh’s temple; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on his throne; and he shall be a priest on his throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
