And 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: 'No wife of mine shall dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, whereunto the ark of HaShem hath come.'
12
Then Solomon offered burnt-offerings unto HaShem on the altar of HaShem, which he had built before the porch,
13
even as the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the appointed seasons, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.
14
And he appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise, and to minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required; the doorkeepers also by their courses at every gate; for so had David the man of G-d commanded.
15
And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.
16
So all the work of Solomon was set in order from the day of the foundation of the house of HaShem, and until it was finished. So the house of HaShem was perfected.
17
Then went Solomon to Ezion-geber, and to Eloth, on the sea-shore in the land of Edom.
18
And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they came with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and fetched from thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.
