| 1. | 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; |

| 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. |

| 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. |
