Kwathi ekupheleni kweminyaka emashumi mabini, abesakhe ngayo uSolomon indlu kaYehova neyakhe indlu,
2 imizi uHiram abeyinike uSolomon wayakha uSolomon, wababeka khona oonyana bakaSirayeli.
3 Waya uSolomon eHamati-tsobha, wayeyisa.
4 Wakha iTademore entlango, nemizi yonke engoovimba, awayakhayo eHamati.
5 Wakha neBhete-horon engasentla neBhete-horon engasezantsi, imizi enqatyisiweyo leyo, ineendonga neengcango nemivalo;
6 neBhahalati, nemizi yonke engoovimba abenayo uSolomon, nemizi yonke yeenqwelo zokulwa, nemizi yabamahashe, nokulangazelela konke kukaSolomon, awakulangazelelayo ukwakha eYerusalem, naseLebhanon, nasezweni lonke lolawulo lwakhe.
7 Bonke abantu abaseleyo kumaHeti, nama-Amori, namaPerizi, namaHivi, namaYebhusi, ababe bengengabakwaSirayeli;
8 koonyana babo abasala emva kwabo ezweni, abo babengagqitywanga ngoonyana bakaSirayeli, uSolomon wabanyula ukuba bafakwe uviko, unanamhla.
9 Koonyana bakaSirayeli uSolomon akenzanga makhoboka omsebenzi wakhe; ngokuba babengamadoda okulwa, nabathetheli bakhe, nababusi bakhe, nabathetheli beenqwelo zakhe zokulwa, nabamahashe bakhe.
10 Abo bathetheli babengabongameli awayenabo ukumkani uSolomon; bebengamakhulu amabini anamanci mahlanu, ababenobukhosi ebantwini.
11 Ke kaloku uSolomon wayinyusa intombi kaFaro emzini kaDavide, wayisa endlwini abeyakhele; ngokuba ubesithi, Akayi kuhlala umfazi wam endlwini kaDavide, ukumkani wamaSirayeli; ngokuba kungcwele, apho kungene khona ityeya kaYehova.
12 Waza uSolomon wanyusa amadini anyukayo kuYehova esibingelelweni sikaYehova, abesakhele phambi kwevaranda;
13 ukuba kunyuswe into yemini ngangemini yayo ngokomthetho kaMoses, ngeesabatha, nasekuthwaseni kwenyanga, nangamaxesha amisiweyo, izihlandlo ezithathu ngomnyaka, emthendelekweni wezonka ezingenagwele, nasemthendelekweni weeveki, nasemthendelekweni weminquba.
14 Wawamisa ngokwesiko likaDavide uyise amaqela ababingeleli enkonzweni yawo; nabaLevi wabamisela ezigxineni zabo, ukuba badumise, balungiselele phambi kwababingeleli ngokwento yemini ngemini yayo, nabamasango ngokwamaqela abo kwisango ngesango; ngokuba ubunjalo umthetho kaDavide, umfo wakwaThixo.
15 Abatyeka emthethweni wokumkani kubabingeleli nakubaLevi ngemicimbi yonke nangobuncwane.
16 Walungiswa ke wonke umsebenzi kaSolomon, kwada kwayiloo mini yasekwa ngayo indlu kaYehova, kwasa nasekugqityweni kwayo; yafezwa indlu kaYehova.
17 Waza uSolomon waya e-Etsiyon-gebhere, nase-Eloti, elunxwemeni lolwandle ezweni lakwaEdom.
18 UHiram wathumela kuye ngabakhonzi bakhe iinqanawa, nabakhonzi ababelwazi ulwandle; baya kunye nabakhonzi bakaSolomon eOfire, bathabatha khona amakhulu amane anamanci mahlanu eetalente zegolide, bayizisa kukumkani uSolomon.
