Solomon & The Temple

So King Salomon excelled all the Kings of the earth in riches and wisedome.

And all the Kings of the earth sought the presence of Salomon, to heare his wisedome that God had put in his heart.

And they brought euery man his present, vessels of siluer, and vessels of golde, and raiment, armour, and sweet odours, horses, and mules, from yeere to yeere.

And Salomon had foure thousand stalles of horses, and charets, and twelue thousand horsmen, whom he bestowed in the charet cities, and with the King at Ierusalem.

And he reigned ouer all the Kings from the Riuer euen vnto the land of the Philistims, and to the border of Egypt.

And the King gaue siluer in Ierusalem, as stones, and gaue cedar trees as the wilde fig trees, that are aboundant in the plaine.

And they brought vnto Salomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all landes.

Concerning the rest of the actes of Salomon first and last, are they not written in the booke of Nathan the Prophet, and in the prophecie of Ahiiah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Ieedo the Seer against Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat?

And Salomon reigned in Ierusalem ouer all Israel fourtie yeeres.

And Salomon slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the citie of Dauid his father: and Rehoboam his sonne reigned in his steade.
