- 1And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house,וַיְהִ֞י מִקֵּ֣ץ עֶשְׂרִ֣ים שָׁנָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר בָּנָ֧ה שְׁלֹמֹ֛ה אֶת בֵּ֥ית יְהוָ֖ה וְאֶת בֵּיתֽוֹ
- 2That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.וְהֶעָרִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֨ר נָתַ֤ן חוּרָם֙ לִשְׁלֹמֹ֔ה בָּנָ֥ה שְׁלֹמֹ֖ה אֹתָ֑ם וַיּ֥וֹשֶׁב שָׁ֖ם אֶת בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
- 3And Solomon went to Hamathzobah, and prevailed against it.וַיֵּ֤לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹה֙ צוֹבָ֔ה וַיֶּחֱזַ֖ק עָלֶֽיהָ
- 4And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath.וַיִּ֥בֶן אֶת תַּדְמֹ֖ר בַּמִּדְבָּ֑ר וְאֵת֙ כָּל עָרֵ֣י הַֽמִּסְכְּנ֔וֹת אֲשֶׁ֥ר בָּנָ֖ה בַּחֲמָֽת
- 5Also he built Bethhoron the upper, and Bethhoron the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, and bars;וַיִּ֜בֶן אֶת חוֹרוֹן֙ הָֽעֶלְי֔וֹן וְאֶת חוֹר֖וֹן הַתַּחְתּ֑וֹן עָרֵ֣י מָצ֔וֹר חוֹמ֖וֹת דְּלָתַ֥יִם וּבְרִֽיחַ
- 6And Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion.וְאֶֽת בַּעֲלָ֗ת וְאֵ֨ת כָּל עָרֵ֤י הַֽמִּסְכְּנוֹת֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הָי֣וּ לִשְׁלֹמֹ֔ה וְאֵת֙ כָּל עָרֵ֣י הָרֶ֔כֶב וְאֵ֖ת עָרֵ֣י הַפָּרָשִׁ֑ים וְאֵ֣ת כָּל חֵ֣שֶׁק שְׁלֹמֹ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֤ר חָשַׁק֙ לִבְנ֤וֹת בִּירֽוּשָׁלִַ֨ם֙ וּבַלְּבָנ֔וֹן וּבְכֹ֖ל אֶ֥רֶץ מֶמְשַׁלְתּֽוֹ
- 7As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which were not of Israel,כָּל הָ֠עָם הַנּוֹתָ֨ר מִן הַחִתִּ֜י וְהָאֱמֹרִ֤י וְהַפְּרִזִּי֙ וְהַחִוִּ֣י וְהַיְבוּסִ֔י אֲשֶׁ֛ר לֹ֥א מִיִּשְׂרָאֵ֖ל הֵֽמָּה
- 8But of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until this day.מִן בְּנֵיהֶ֗ם אֲשֶׁ֨ר נוֹתְר֤וּ אַחֲרֵיהֶם֙ בָּאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא כִלּ֖וּם בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיַּעֲלֵ֤ם שְׁלֹמֹה֙ לְמַ֔ס עַ֖ד הַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה
- 9But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots and horsemen.וּמִן בְּנֵי֙ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֲ֠שֶׁר לֹא נָתַ֧ן שְׁלֹמֹ֛ה לַעֲבָדִ֖ים לִמְלַאכְתּ֑וֹ כִּי הֵ֜מָּה אַנְשֵׁ֤י מִלְחָמָה֙ וְשָׂרֵ֣י שָׁלִישָׁ֔יו וְשָׂרֵ֥י רִכְבּ֖וֹ וּפָרָשָֽׁיו
- 10And these were the chief of king Solomon's officers, even two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over the people.וְאֵ֨לֶּה שָׂרֵ֤י הנציבים הַנִּצָּבִ֛ים אֲשֶׁר לַמֶּ֥לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹ֖ה חֲמִשִּׁ֣ים וּמָאתָ֑יִם הָרֹדִ֖ים בָּעָֽם
- 11And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, whereunto the ark of the LORD hath come.וְאֶת בַּת פַּרְעֹ֗ה הֶעֱלָ֤ה שְׁלֹמֹה֙ מֵעִ֣יר דָּוִ֔יד לַבַּ֖יִת אֲשֶׁ֣ר בָּֽנָה כִּ֣י אָמַ֗ר לֹא תֵשֵׁ֨ב אִשָּׁ֥ה בְּבֵית֙ דָּוִ֣יד מֶֽלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל כִּי קֹ֣דֶשׁ הֵ֔מָּה אֲשֶׁר בָּֽאָ֥ה אֲלֵיהֶ֖ם אֲר֥וֹן יְהוָֽה
- 12Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch,אָ֣ז הֶעֱלָ֧ה שְׁלֹמֹ֛ה עֹל֖וֹת לַיהוָ֑ה עַ֚ל מִזְבַּ֣ח יְהוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר בָּנָ֖ה לִפְנֵ֥י הָאוּלָֽם
- 13Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.וּבִדְבַר י֣וֹם בְּי֗וֹם לְהַעֲלוֹת֙ כְּמִצְוַ֣ת מֹשֶׁ֔ה לַשַּׁבָּתוֹת֙ וְלֶ֣חֳדָשִׁ֔ים וְלַמּ֣וֹעֲד֔וֹת שָׁל֥וֹשׁ פְּעָמִ֖ים בַּשָּׁנָ֑ה בְּחַ֧ג הַמַּצּ֛וֹת וּבְחַ֥ג הַשָּׁבֻע֖וֹת וּבְחַ֥ג הַסֻּכּֽוֹת
- 14And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise and minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required: the porters also by their courses at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded.וַיַּעֲמֵ֣ד כְּמִשְׁפַּ֣ט דָּֽוִיד אָ֠בִיו אֶת מַחְלְק֨וֹת הַכֹּהֲנִ֜ים עַל עֲבֹדָתָ֗ם וְהַלְוִיִּ֣ם עַל מִ֠שְׁמְרוֹתָם לְהַלֵּ֨ל וּלְשָׁרֵ֜ת נֶ֤גֶד הַכֹּֽהֲנִים֙ לִדְבַר י֣וֹם בְּיוֹמ֔וֹ וְהַשּׁוֹעֲרִ֥ים בְּמַחְלְקוֹתָ֖ם לְשַׁ֣עַר וָשָׁ֑עַר כִּ֣י כֵ֔ן מִצְוַ֖ת דָּוִ֥יד אִישׁ הָאֱלֹהִֽים
- 15And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.וְלֹ֣א סָרוּ֩ מִצְוַ֨ת הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ עַל הַכֹּהֲנִ֧ים וְהַלְוִיִּ֛ם לְכָל דָּבָ֖ר וְלָאֹצָרֽוֹת
- 16Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected.וַתִּכֹּן֙ כָּל מְלֶ֣אכֶת שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה עַד הַיּ֛וֹם מוּסַ֥ד בֵּית יְהוָ֖ה וְעַד כְּלֹת֑וֹ שָׁלֵ֖ם בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה
- 17Then went Solomon to Eziongeber, and to Eloth, at the sea side in the land of Edom.אָז֩ הָלַ֨ךְ שְׁלֹמֹ֜ה גֶּ֧בֶר וְאֶל אֵיל֛וֹת עַל שְׂפַ֥ת הַיָּ֖ם בְּאֶ֥רֶץ אֱדֽוֹם
- 18And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.וַיִּֽשְׁלַֽח חוּרָ֨ם בְּיַד עֲבָדָ֜יו אוניות אֳנִיּ֗וֹת וַעֲבָדִים֮ י֣וֹדְעֵי יָם֒ וַיָּבֹ֜אוּ עִם עַבְדֵ֤י שְׁלֹמֹה֙ אוֹפִ֔ירָה וַיִּקְח֣וּ מִשָּׁ֔ם אַרְבַּע מֵא֥וֹת וַחֲמִשִּׁ֖ים כִּכַּ֣ר זָהָ֑ב וַיָּבִ֖יאוּ אֶל הַמֶּ֥לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹֽה

Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
Lexical definitions describe possible word ranges, not automatic interpretations of a verse. See the concordance guide, gematria method, and source policy.
