عهد الرب مع سليمان

1 وَبَعْدَ أَنْ أَتَمَّ سُلَيْمَانُ بِنَاءَ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ وَقَصْرِ الْمَلِكِ، وَكُلِّ مَا رَغِبَ أَنْ يُقِيمَهُ مِنْ مَبَانٍ أُخْرَى.

2 تَجَلَّى الرَّبُّ لِسُلَيْمَانَ ثَانِيَةً كَمَا تَجَلَّى لَهُ فِي جِبْعُونَ،

3 وَقَالَ لَهُ: «سَمِعْتُ صَلاتَكَ وَتَضَرُّعَكَ الَّذِي رَفَعْتَهُ أَمَامِي، لِهَذَا قَدَّسْتُ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلَ الَّذِي شَيَّدْتَهُ لأَضَعَ اسْمِي عَلَيْهِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، فَتَكُونُ عَيْنَايَ وَقَلْبِي هُنَاكَ كُلَّ الأَيَّامِ.

4 فَإِنْ سَلَكْتَ أَنْتَ أَمَامِي كَمَا سَلَكَ أَبُوكَ دَاوُدُ بِكَمَالِ الْقَلْبِ وَالاسْتِقَامَةِ، وَطَبَّقْتَ كُلَّ مَا أَمَرْتُكَ بِهِ، وَأَطَعْتَ فَرَائِضِي وَأَحْكَامِي،

5 فَإِنِّي أُثَبِّتُ كُرْسِيَّ مُلْكِكَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، كَمَا وَعَدْتُ دَاوُدَ أَبَاكَ قَائِلاً: لَا يَنْقَرِضُ مِنْ نَسْلِكَ مَنْ يَمْلِكُ عَلَى عَرْشِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

6 أَمَّا إِنِ انْحَرَفْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَوْ أَبْنَاؤُكُمْ عَنِ اتِّبَاعِي، وَلَمْ تُطِيعُوا وَصَايَايْ وَفَرَائِضِي الَّتِي سَنَنْتُهَا لَكُمْ، وَغَوَيْتُمْ عَابِدِينَ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى وَسَجَدْتُمْ لَهَا،

7 فَإِنِّي أُبِيدُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لَهُمْ، وَأَنْبِذُ الْهَيْكَلَ الَّذِي قَدَّسْتُهُ لاِسْمِي، فَيُصْبِحُ إِسْرَائِيلُ مَثَلاً وَمَثَارَ هُزْءٍ لِجَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ.

8 وَيُصْبِحُ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلُ عِبْرَةً يُثِيرُ عَجَبَ كُلِّ مَنْ يَمُرُّ بِهِ، فَيَصْفُرُ وَيَتَسَاءَلُ: لِمَاذَا صَنَعَ الرَّبُّ هَكَذَا بِهَذِهِ الأَرْضِ وَبِهَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ؟

9 فَيَأْتِيهُمُ الْجَوَابُ: لأَنَّهُمْ تَرَكُوا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُمُ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَ آبَاءَهُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، وَتَشَبَّثُوا بِآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَسَجَدُوا لَهَا وَعَبَدُوهَا، لِذَلِكَ جَلَبَ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ كُلَّ هَذَا الْبَلاءِ».

منجزات سليمان الأخرى

10 وَفِي نِهَايَةِ الْعِشْرِينَ عَاماً الَّتِي بَنَى سُلَيْمَانُ فِي أَثْنَائِهَا هَيْكَلَ الرَّبِّ وَقَصْرَ الْمَلِكِ

11 أَعْطَى سُلَيْمَانُ حِيرَامَ مَلِكَ صُورَ عِشْرِينَ مَدِينَةً فِي أَرْضِ الْجَلِيلِ، لأَنَّهُ أَمَدَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بِخَشَبِ أَرْزٍ وَخَشَبِ سَرْوٍ وَذَهَبٍ عَلَى قَدْرِ طَلَبِهِ.

12 فَجَاءَ حِيرَامُ مِنْ صُورٍ لِيَتَفَقَّدَ الْمُدُنَ الَّتِي أَعْطَاهَا سُلَيْمَانُ لَهُ، فَلَمْ تَرُقْ لَهُ،

13 فَتَسَاءَلَ: «مَا هَذِهِ الْمُدُنُ الَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَنِي إِيَّاهَا يَا أَخِي؟» وَدَعَاهَا«أَرْضَ كَابُولَ» (وَمَعْنَاهَا الأَرْضُ غَيْرُ الْمُثْمِرَةِ) إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.

14 وَكَانَ الذَّهَبُ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ حِيرَامُ إِلَى الْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ مِئَةً وَعِشْرِينَ وَزْنَةَ ذَهَبٍ (نَحْوَ أَرْبَعَةِ آلافٍ وَثَلاثِ مِئَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ كِيلُو جِرَاماً).

15 أَمَّا خِدْمَةُ التَّسْخِيرِ الَّتِي فَرَضَهَا سُلَيْمَانُ، فَكَانَتْ بِدَاعِي بِنَاءِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، وَقَصْرِ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَالْقَلْعَةِ، وَسُورِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَحَاصُورَ وَمَجِدُّو وَجَازَرَ.

16 وَكَانَ فِرْعَوْنُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ قَدْ هَاجَمَ جَازَرَ وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهَا وَأَحْرَقَهَا بِالنَّارِ، وَقَتَلَ أَهْلَهَا الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِيهَا، ثُمَّ وَهَبَهَا مَهْراً لاِبْنَتِهِ زَوْجَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ.

17 وَأَعَادَ سُلَيْمَانُ بِنَاءَ جَازَرَ وَبَيْتِ حُورُونَ السُّفْلَى،

18 وَبَعْلَةَ وَتَدْمُرَ فِي أَرْضِ الصَّحْرَاءِ،

19 وَبَنَى جَمِيعَ مُدُنِ مَخَازِنِ غَلّاتِهِ، وَمُدُناً لِمَرْكَبَاتِهِ، وَمُدُناً لإِقَامَةِ الْفُرْسَانِ. وَهَكَذَا بَنَى سُلَيْمَانُ كُلَّ مَا رَغِبَ فِيهِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَفِي لُبْنَانَ وَفِي جَمِيعِ أَرْجَاءِ سَلْطَنَتِهِ.

20 أَمَّا مَنْ تَبَقَّى مِنَ الأَمُورِيِّينَ وَالْحِثِّيِّينَ وَالْفَرِزِّيِّينَ وَالْحِوِّيِّينَ وَالْيَبُوسِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَنْتَمُونَ إِلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ،

21 مِنْ ذَرَارِي الأُمَمِ الَّتِي عَجَزَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ عَنْ إِفْنَائِهِمْ، فَقَدْ فَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلَيْمَانُ خِدْمَةَ التَّسْخِيرِ كَالْعَبِيدِ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.

22 أَمَّا أَبْنَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلَمْ يُسَخِّرْ سُلَيْمَانُ مِنْهُمْ أَحَداً، لأَنَّ مِنْهُمْ كَانَ يَتَأَلَّفُ جُنُودُهُ وَرِجَالُ حَاشِيَتِهِ وَأُمَرَاؤُهُ وَضُبَّاطُهُ وَقَادَةُ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَفُرْسَانُهُ،

23 وَكَانَ عَدَدُ الْمُوَكَّلِينَ عَلَى الإِشْرَافِ عَلَى خِدْمَةِ الْعُمَّالِ الْمُسَخَّرِينَ لِتَنْفِيذِ أَعْمَالِ سُلَيْمَانَ خَمْسَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ رَجُلاً.

24 وَبَعْدَ أَنِ انْتَقَلَتِ ابْنَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ إِلَى قَصْرِهَا الَّذِي بَنَاهُ لَهَا، عَمِلَ سُلَيْمَانُ عَلَى بِنَاءِ الْقَلْعَةِ.

25 وَأَخَذَ سُلَيْمَانُ يُقَرِّبُ مُحْرَقَاتٍ وَذَبَائِحَ سَلامٍ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ الَّذِي بَنَاهُ لِلرَّبِّ ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي السَّنَةِ، كَمَا كَانَ يُحْرِقُ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ الَّذِي أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ. وَهَكَذَا أَتَمَّ بِنَاءَ الْهَيْكَلِ.

26 وَشَرَعَ سُلَيْمَانُ فِي بِنَاءِ سُفُنٍ فِي عِصْيُونَ جَابَرَ الْمُجَاوِرَةِ لأَيْلَةَ عَلَى شَاطِئِ الْبَحْرِ الأَحْمَرِ فِي أَرْضِ أَدُومَ،

27 فَأَرْسَلَ حِيرَامُ بَحَّارَتَهُ الْمُتَمَرِّسِينَ بِمَسَالِكِ الْبَحْرِ فِي تِلْكَ السُّفُنِ مَعَ بَحَّارَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ،

28 فَبَلَغُوا أُوفِيرَ حَيْثُ جَلَبُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَزْنَةً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفاً وَمِئَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ كِيلُو جْراماً) مِنَ الذَّهَبِ، حَمَلُوهَا إِلَى الْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ.

The Lord Appears to Solomon

1 As soon as Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord and the king’s house and all that Solomon desired to build,

2 the Lord appeared to Solomon a second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.

3 And the Lord said to him, “I have heard your prayer and your plea, which you have made before me. I have consecrated this house that you have built, by putting my name there forever. My eyes and my heart will be there for all time.

4 And as for you, if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, with integrity of heart and uprightness, doing according to all that I have commanded you, and keeping my statutes and my rules,

5 then I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever, as I promised David your father, saying, ‘You shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.’

6 But if you turn aside from following me, you or your children, and do not keep my commandments and my statutes that I have set before you, but go and serve other gods and worship them,

7 then I will cut off Israel from the land that I have given them, and the house that I have consecrated for my name I will cast out of my sight, and Israel will become a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

8 And this house will become a heap of ruins.* Everyone passing by it will be astonished and will hiss, and they will say, ‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house?’

9 Then they will say, ‘Because they abandoned the Lord their God who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt and laid hold on other gods and worshiped them and served them. Therefore the Lord has brought all this disaster on them.’”

Solomon’s Other Acts

10 At the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the Lord and the king’s house,

11 and Hiram king of Tyre had supplied Solomon with cedar and cypress timber and gold, as much as he desired, King Solomon gave to Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

12 But when Hiram came from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him, they did not please him.

13 Therefore he said, “What kind of cities are these that you have given me, my brother?” So they are called the land of Cabul to this day.

14 Hiram had sent to the king 120 talents* of gold.

15 And this is the account of the forced labor that King Solomon drafted to build the house of the Lord and his own house and the Millo and the wall of Jerusalem and Hazor and Megiddo and Gezer

16 (Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and captured Gezer and burned it with fire, and had killed the Canaanites who lived in the city, and had given it as dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife;

17 so Solomon rebuilt Gezer) and Lower Beth-horon

18 and Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land of Judah,*

19 and all the store cities that Solomon had, and the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and whatever Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

20 All the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the people of Israel—

21 their descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the people of Israel were unable to devote to destruction*—these Solomon drafted to be slaves, and so they are to this day.

22 But of the people of Israel Solomon made no slaves. They were the soldiers, they were his officials, his commanders, his captains, his chariot commanders and his horsemen.

23 These were the chief officers who were over Solomon’s work: 550 who had charge of the people who carried on the work.

24 But Pharaoh’s daughter went up from the city of David to her own house that Solomon had built for her. Then he built the Millo.

25 Three times a year Solomon used to offer up burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar that he built to the Lord, making offerings with it* before the Lord. So he finished the house.

26 King Solomon built a fleet of ships at Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.

27 And Hiram sent with the fleet his servants, seamen who were familiar with the sea, together with the servants of Solomon.

28 And they went to Ophir and brought from there gold, 420 talents, and they brought it to King Solomon.
