When Solomon had finished building the temple of the Lord and the royal palace, and had achieved all he had desired to do,

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

So Solomon finished building the Temple of the Lord, as well as the royal palace. He completed everything he had planned to do.

When Solomon finished building the temple of the LORD, the royal palace, and all that Solomon desired to do,

Now it came about when Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord and the king’s house, and all that Solomon desired to do,

And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord and the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he wanted to do,

And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of Jehovah, and the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he was pleased to do,

When Solomon finished building the temple of the Lord, the royal palace, and all that Solomon desired to do,

And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the LORD, and the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he was pleased to do,

After Solomon finished building the LORD’s temple, the royal palace, and all the other construction projects he had planned,

When Solomon had finished the building of Yahweh’s house, the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he was pleased to do,

He built up all the cities where he could store things. He also built up the towns for his chariots and horses. He built anything he wanted to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon and all the territory he ruled over.

Solomon finished the Lord’ s temple and the royal palace. He had done everything he had planned to do in the Lord’ s temple and his own palace.The Lord appeared to him at night. The Lord said,“ I have heard your prayer. I have chosen this place for myself. It is a temple where sacrifices will be offered.“ Suppose I close up the sky and there isn’t any rain. Suppose I command locusts to eat up the crops. And I send a plague among my people.But they make themselves humble in my sight. They pray and look to me. And they turn from their evil ways. Then I will listen to them from heaven. I will forgive their sin. And I will heal their land. After all, they are my people.Now my eyes will see them. My ears will pay attention to the prayers they offer in this place.I have chosen this temple. I have set it apart for myself. My Name will be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.“ But you must walk faithfully with me, just as your father David did. Do everything I command you to do. Obey my rules and laws.Then I will set up your royal throne. I made a covenant with your father David to do that. I said to him,‘ You will always have a son from your family line to rule over Israel.’“ But suppose all of you turn away from me. You refuse to obey the rules and commands I have given you. And you go off to serve other gods and worship them.Then I will remove Israel from my land. It is the land I gave them. I will turn my back on this temple. I will do it even though I have set it apart for my Name to be there. I will make all the nations hate it. They will laugh and joke about it.This temple will become a pile of stones. All those who pass by it will be shocked. They will say,‘ Why has the Lord done a thing like this to this land and temple?’People will answer,‘ Because they have deserted the Lord. He is the God of their people who lived long ago. He brought them out of Egypt. But they have been holding on to other gods. They’ve been worshiping them. They’ve been serving them. That’s why the Lord has brought all this horrible trouble on them.’ ”Solomon built the Lord’ s temple and his own palace. It took him 20 years to build them. After that,Solomon rebuilt the villages Hiram had given him. Solomon had Israelites make their homes in them.Then Solomon went to Hamath Zobah. He captured it.He also built up Tadmor in the desert. He built up all the cities in Hamath where he could store things.He rebuilt Upper Beth Horon and Lower Beth Horon. He put up high walls around them. He made their city gates secure with heavy metal bars.He rebuilt Baalath and all the cities where he could store things. He also rebuilt all the cities for his chariots and horses. Solomon built anything he wanted in Jerusalem, Lebanon and all the territory he ruled.

King Solomon gave 20 towns in Galilee to Hiram, the king of Tyre. That’s because Hiram had provided him with all the cedar and juniper logs he wanted. He had also provided Solomon with all the gold he wanted.

So I started some large projects. I built houses for myself. I planted vineyards.

The foundation of the Lord’ s temple was laid in Solomon’s fourth year. It was in the month of Ziv.The temple was finished in his 11th year. It was in the month of Bul. That was the eighth month. Everything was finished just as the plans required. Solomon had spent seven years building the temple.But it took Solomon 13 years to finish constructing his palace and the other buildings related to it.

I gave myself everything my eyes wanted. There wasn’t any pleasure that I refused to give myself. I took delight in everything I did. And that was what I got for all my work.

Being satisfied with what you have is better than always wanting more. That doesn’t have any meaning either. It’s like chasing the wind.

King Solomon finished all the work for the Lord’ s temple. Then he brought in the things his father David had set apart for the Lord. They included the silver and gold and all the other things for the Lord’ s temple. Solomon placed them with the other treasures that were there.
