Imisebenzi yokwakha emizini kaSolomoni
1Kwathi ekupheleni kweminyaka engamashumi amabili uSolomoni eyakha indlu kaJehova nendlu yakhe;
2uSolomoni wakha imizi uHuramu ayibuyisela kuSolomoni, wavumela ukuba abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahlale khona.
3USolomoni waya eHamati Zoba, wayinqoba.
4Wakha iTadimori ehlane, nayo yonke imizi yokugcina impahla ayakha eHamati.
5Wakha neBeti Horoni laseNhla neBeti Horoni lasezansi, imizi ebiyelweyo enezindonga, namasango, nemigoqo;
6neBhahalati nayo yonke imizi yokugcina impahla uSolomoni ayenayo, nayo yonke imizi yempi, nemizi yabamahhashi, nakho konke uSolomoni ayethanda ukukwakha eJerusalema, naseLebanoni, nakulo lonke izwe lombuso wakhe.
7Bonke abantu ababesele kumaHeti, nama-Amori, namaPherizi, namaHivi, namaJebusi, ababengebona abakwa-Israyeli,
8Kodwa kubantwana babo abasala ngemva kwabo elizweni, abantwana bakoIsrayeli abangabaqedanga, bamkhokhisa uSolomoni intela kuze kube lamuhla.
9Kepha kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli uSolomoni akenzanga isigqila somsebenzi wakhe; kodwa babengamaqhawe nezinduna zezikhulu zakhe nezinduna zezinqola zakhe nabamahhashi bakhe.
10Izinduna zababonisi benkosi uSolomoni zazingamakhulu amabili namashumi ayisihlanu, ezazibusa phezu kwabantu.
11USolomoni wayikhuphula indodakazi kaFaro emzini kaDavide, wayiyisa endlini ayakhele yona; ngokuba wathi: “Umkami makangahlali endlini kaDavide, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, ngokuba izindawo ofike kuzo umphongolo kaJehova zingcwele.”
12USolomoni wanikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa kuJehova e-altare likaJehova ayelakha phambi kompheme,
13yebo ngokwesilinganiso esithile izinsuku zonke, umnikelo womyalo kaMose, ngamasabatha, nokuthwasa kwenyanga, nangemikhosi, kathathu ngomnyaka, ngomkhosi wesinkwa esingenamvubelo nangomkhosi. Lamasonto, nangomkhosi wamadokodo.
14Njengesimiso sikayise uDavide, wamisa izigaba zabapristi enkonzweni yabo, namaLevi ezikhulwini zabo ukuba badumise, bakhonze phambi kwabapristi njengenkonzo yezinsuku zonke, nabalindisango ngokwenkonzo yabo isevisi. Emigwaqweni kuwo onke amasango, ngokuba wamyala kanjalo uDavide umuntu kaNkulunkulu.
15Futhi abaphambukanga emyalezweni wenkosi kubapristi namaLevi nganoma iyiphi indaba noma ngengcebo.
16Wonke umsebenzi kaSolomoni walungiswa kwaze kwaba lusuku lokubekwa kwesisekelo sendlu kaJehova, yaze yaqedwa. Kanjalo indlu kaJehova yaphelela.
17USolomoni waya e-Eziyoni Geberi nase-Eloti ogwini lolwandle ezweni lakwa-Edomi.
18UHiramu wamthumelela imikhumbi ngesandla sezinceku zakhe nezinceku ezazilwazi ulwandle; bahamba nezinceku zikaSolomoni e-Ofiri, bathatha khona amatalenta angamakhulu amane namashumi ayisihlanu egolide, baliletha enkosini uSolomoni.
