1 Amakhosi 5

¹UHiramu inkosi yaseTire wathuma izinceku zakhe kuSolomoni; ngoba wezwa ukuthi bamgcobile abe yinkosi endlini kayise, ngoba uHiramu wayethanda uDavida njalo.

²USolomoni wathumela kuHiramu wathi:

³Niyazi nina ukuthi ubaba uDavide wayengenakulakhela igama likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe indlu ngenxa yezimpi ezazimzungezile, uJehova waze wayibeka phansi kwamathe ezinyawo zakhe.

⁴Kodwa manje uJehova uNkulunkulu wami unginikile ukuphumula nxazonke, kangangokuthi akukho sitha noma okubi.

⁵Bheka, ngiqonde ukwakhela igama likaJehova uNkulunkulu wami indlu, njengalokho uJehova wakhuluma kuDavide ubaba ngokuthi: ‘Indodana yakho engiyayibeka esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi esikhundleni sakho iyokwakhela indlu yami igama.

⁶Yaleza manje ukuba bangigawulele imisedari eLebanoni; izinceku zami ziyakuba nezinceku zakho, futhi wena ngiyakukunika inkokhelo yezinceku zakho njengakho konke oyakumisayo; ngoba uyazi ukuthi kakho phakathi kwethu ongagawula imithi njengamaSidoni.

⁷UHiramu esezwile amazwi kaSolomoni wathokoza kakhulu, wathi: “Makabongwe uJehova namuhla omnike uDavide indodana ehlakaniphileyo phezu kwalesi sizwe esikhulu.

⁸UHiramu wayesethuma uSolomoni ukuthi: “Ngikubonile lokho ongithume kukho; ngizokwenza konke okufunayo ngemisedari nangokhuni lomsayipuresi.”

⁹Izinceku zami ziyakwehlisela eLebanoni ziyise olwandle; ngiyowawelisa ulwandle entanta, ngiwayise endaweni oyongibonisa yona, ngiwenze ageleze aphume lapho, wena uwamukele; futhi uzongiqedela. Isifiso, ngokupha abendlu yami ukudla.

¹⁰UHiramu wayesenika uSolomoni imisedari nemisayipuresi njengakho konke ukufisa kwakhe.

¹¹USolomoni wamnika uHiramu amakhora ayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili kakolweni abe ngukudla kwendlu yakhe namakhora angamashumi amabili amafutha acwengekileyo; kanjalo uSolomoni wanika uHiramu iminyaka ngeminyaka.

¹²UJehova wamnika uSolomoni ukuhlakanipha njengokumthembisa kwakhe, kwaba khona ukuthula phakathi kukaHiramu noSolomoni; benza isivumelwano bobabili.

¹³Inkosi uSolomoni yasibutha izisebenzi kuIsrayeli wonke; intela yayiyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu.

¹⁴Wabathuma eLebanoni, izinkulungwane eziyishumi ngenyanga ngezigaba; inyanga babe seLebanoni, izinyanga ezimbili behlala ekhaya; u-Adoniramu wayephethe izisebenzi.

¹⁵USolomoni wayenabagundi abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi ayisithupha nabagundi bezinwele eziyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi ayisishiyagalombili ezintabeni;

¹⁶ngaphandle kwezinduna zabaphathi bakaSolomoni ababephethe umsebenzi, izinkulungwane ezintathu namakhulu amathathu, ezazibusa phezu kwabantu abenza umsebenzi.

¹⁷Inkosi yayala ukuba balethe amatshe amakhulu, amatshe abizayo namatshe abaziweyo ukuze kubekwe isisekelo sendlu.

¹⁸Abakhi bakaSolomoni nabakhi bakaHiramu bawugawula nabakhihli bamatshe; balungisa izinkuni namatshe ukwakha indlu.
