9 2 The Lord appeareth the second time to Solomon. 11 Solomon giveth cities to Hiram. 20 The Canaanites become tributaries. 28 He sendeth forth a navy for gold.
1 When (A)Solomon had finished the building of the house of the Lord, and the King’s palace, and all that Solomon desired and minded to do,
2 Then the Lord appeared unto Solomon the second time, as he (B)appeared unto him at Gibeon.
3 And the Lord said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house (which thou hast built) to (C)put my Name there forever, and mine eyes, and my heart shall be there perpetually.
4 And [a]if thou wilt walk before me (as David thy father walked in pureness of heart and in righteousness) to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and keep my statutes, and my judgments,
5 Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel forever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, (D)Thou shalt not want a man upon the throne of Israel.
6 But if ye and your children turn away from me, and will [b]not keep my Commandments, and my statutes (which I have set before you) but go and serve other gods, and worship them,
7 Then will I cut off Israel from the land, which I have given them, and the house which I have hallowed (E)for my Name, will I cast out of my sight, and Israel shall be a [c]proverb, and a common talk among all people.
8 Even this high house shall be so: everyone that passeth by it, shall be astonied, and shall hiss, and they shall say, (F)Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land and to this house?
9 And they shall answer, Because they forsook the Lord their God, which brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them, therefore hath the Lord brought upon them all this evil.
10 (G)And at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the Lord, and the King’s palace,
11 (For the which Hiram the king of [d]Tyre had brought to Solomon timber of Cedar and fir trees, and gold, and whatsoever he desired) then king Solomon gave to Hiram twenty cities in the land of [e]Galilee.
12 And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him, and they pleased him not.
13 Therefore he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of [f]Cabul unto this day.
14 And Hiram had sent the King [g]sixscore [h]talents of gold.
15 ¶ And this is the cause of the tribute, why King Solomon raised tribute, to wit, to build the house of the Lord, and his own house, and [i]Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
16 Pharaoh king of Egypt had come up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slew the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and gave it for a present unto his daughter Solomon’s wife.
17 (Therefore Solomon built Gezer and Beth Horon the nether,
18 And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness of the land,
19 And all the cities [j]of store, that Solomon had, even cities for chariots, and cities for horsemen, and all that Solomon desired and would build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion)
20 All the people that were [k]left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel
21 To wit, their children that were left after them in the land whom the children of Israel were not able to destroy, those did Solomon make tributaries unto this day
22 But of the children of Israel did Solomon (H)make no bondmen: but they were men of war and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots and his horsemen.
23 These were the princes of the officers, that were over Solomon’s work: even [l]five hundred and fifty, and they ruled the people that wrought in the work.
24 ¶ And Pharaoh’s daughter came up from the city of David unto the house which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Millo.
25 And thrice a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he built unto the Lord: and he burnt incense upon the altar that was before the Lord, when he had finished the house.
26 Also king Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezion Geber, which is beside Elath, and the brink of the red sea, in the land of Edom.
27 And Hiram sent with the navy, his servants, that were mariners, and had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
28 And they came to Ophir, and fet from thence [m]four hundred and twenty talents of gold, and brought it to king Solomon.
6 1 He showeth the duties of children, 5 servants, 9 and masters: 10 Then he speaketh of the fierce battle that the faithful have, 12 and what weapons we must use in the same: 21 In the end he commendeth Tychicus.
1 Children, (A)[a]obey your parents [b]in the [c]Lord: [d]for this is right.
2 (B)[e]Honor thy father and mother ([f]which is the first commandment with [g]promise)
3 That it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest live long on earth.
4 [h]And ye, fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in instruction and [i]information of the Lord.
5 (C)[j]Servants, be obedient unto them that are your masters, [k]according to the flesh, with [l]fear and trembling in singleness of your hearts, as unto Christ,
6 Not with service to the eye, as men pleasers, but as the servants of Christ, [m]doing the will of God from the heart.
7 With good will, serving the [n]Lord, and not men.
8 [o]And know ye that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, that same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free,
9 [p]And ye masters, do the same things unto them, putting away threatening: and know that even your master also is in heaven, neither is there (D)[q]respect of person with him.
10 ¶ [r]Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the assaults of the devil.
12 [s]For we wrestle not against flesh and [t]blood, but against (E)[u]principalities, against powers, and against the worldly governors, the princes of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness, which are in the high places.
13 [v]For this cause take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to resist in the [w]evil day, and having finished all things, stand fast.
14 Stand therefore, and your loins girded about with verity, and having on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 And your feet shod with the [x]preparation of the Gospel of peace.
16 Above all, take the shield of Faith, wherewith ye may quench all the fiery darts of the wicked,
17 And take the helmet of Salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray always with all manner prayer and supplication in the [y]spirit: and watch thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all Saints,
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly to publish the secret of the Gospel,
20 Whereof I am the ambassador in bonds, that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
21 ¶ [z]But that ye may also know mine affairs, and what I do, Tychicus my dear brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall show you of all things.
22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know mine affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
23 Peace be with the brethren, and love with faith from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Grace be with all them which love our Lord Jesus Christ, to their [aa]immortality, Amen.
¶ Written from Rome unto the Ephesians, and sent by Tychicus.
39 1 He showeth the destruction of Gog, and Magog. 11 The graves of Gog and his host. 17 They shall be devoured of birds and beasts. 23 Wherefore the house of Israel is captive. 24 Their bringing again from captivity is promised.
1 Therefore thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I come against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
2 And I will destroy thee [a]and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the North parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and I will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou [b]shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, and all thy bands and the people, that is with thee: for I will give thee unto the birds, and to every feathered fowl and beast of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.
6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell safely in the [c]isles, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
7 So will I make mine holy Name known in the midst of my people Israel, and I will not suffer them to pollute mine holy Name anymore, and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy one of Israel.
8 Behold, [d]it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord God: and this is the day whereof I have spoken.
9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall [e]go forth, and shall burn and set fire upon the weapons, and on the shields, and bucklers, upon the bows, and upon the arrows, and upon the staves in their hands, and upon the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years.
10 So that they shall bring no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests: for they shall burn the weapons with fire, and they shall rob those that robbed them, and spoil those that spoiled them, saith the Lord God.
11 And at the same time will I give unto Gog [f]a place there for burial in Israel, even the valley, whereby men go toward the East part of the sea: and it shall cause them that pass by, to stop their [g]noses, and there shall they bury Gog with all his multitude: and they shall call it the valley of [h]Hamon Gog.
12 [i]And seven months long shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them, and they shall have a name, when I shall be glorified, saith the Lord God.
14 And they shall choose out men to go continually through the [j]land with them that travail, to bury those that remain upon the ground, to cleanse it: they shall search to the end of seven months.
15 And the travelers that pass through the land, if any see a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon Gog.
16 And also the name of the city shall be [k]Hamonah: thus shall they cleanse the land.
17 And thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God, Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to all the beasts of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come: [l]gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice: for I do sacrifice a great sacrifice for you upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the valiant, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of the weathers, of the lambs, and of the goats, and of bullocks, even of all fat beasts of Bashan.
19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken of my sacrifice, which I have sacrificed for you.
20 Thus you shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with valiant men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord God.
21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment, that I have executed, and mine hand, which I have laid upon them.
22 So the house of Israel shall know, that I am the Lord their God from that day and so forth.
23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for [m]their iniquity, because they trespassed against me: therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
24 According to their uncleanness, and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
25 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have compassion upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for mine holy Name,
26 After that they have borne their shame, and all their transgression, whereby they have transgressed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and without fear of any.
27 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am (A)sanctified in them in the sight of many nations,
28 Then shall they know, that I am the Lord their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them anymore there,
29 Neither will I hide my face anymore from them: for I have poured out my Spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord God.
90 1 Moses in his prayer setteth before us the eternal favor of God toward his, 3 who are neither admonished by the brevity of their life, 7 nor by his plagues to be thankful, 12 therefore Moses prayeth God to turn their hearts, and continue his mercies toward them and their posterity forever.
A prayer of Moses, [a]the man of God.
1 Lord, thou hast been our [b]habitation from generation to generation.
2 Before the [c]mountains were made, and before thou hadst formed the earth, and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting thou art our God.
3 Thou [d]turnest man to destruction: again thou sayest, Return ye sons of Adam.
4 [e]For a thousand years in thy sight are as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Thou hast [f]overflowed them, they are as a sleep, in the morning he groweth like the grass:
6 In the morning it flourisheth and groweth, but in the evening it is cut down and withereth.
7 For we are [g]consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, and our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9 For all our days are past in thine anger: we have [h]spent our years as a thought.
10 The time of our life is threescore years and ten, and if they be of strength, [i]fourscore years: yet their strength is but labor and sorrow: for it is cut off quickly, and we flee away.
11 [j]Who knoweth the power of thy wrath? for according to thy fear is thine anger.
12 Teach us so to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto [k]wisdom.
13 Return (O Lord, [l]how long?) and be [m]pacified toward thy servants.
14 Fill us with thy mercy in the morning: so shall we rejoice and be glad all our days?
15 Comfort us according to the days that thou hast afflicted us, and according to the years that we have seen evil.
16 [n]Let thy work be seen toward thy servants, and thy glory upon their [o]children.
17 And let the [p]beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and [q]direct thou the work of our hands upon us, even direct the work of our hands.
