2 Chronicles 8

• 1. And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house,
• 2. That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
• 3. And Solomon went to Hamathzobah, and prevailed against it.
• 4. And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath.
• 5. Also he built Bethhoron the upper, and Bethhoron the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, and bars;
• 6. And Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion.
• 7. As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which were not of Israel,
• 8. But of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until this day.
• 9. But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots and horsemen.
• 10. And these were the chief of king Solomon's officers, even two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over the people.
• 11. And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, whereunto the ark of the LORD hath come.
• 12. Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch,
• 13. Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.
• 14. And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise and minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required: the porters also by their courses at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded.
• 15. And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.
• 16. Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected.
• 17. Then went Solomon to Eziongeber, and to Eloth, at the sea side in the land of Edom.
• 18. And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.

3 John 1

• 1. The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
• 2. Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
• 3. For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
• 4. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
• 5. Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;
• 6. Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well:
• 7. Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
• 8. We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.
• 9. I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
• 10. Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.
• 11. Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
• 12. Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true.
• 13. I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:
• 14. But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.

Habakkuk 3

• 1. A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.
• 2. O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.
• 3. God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
• 4. And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.
• 5. Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.
• 6. He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.
• 7. I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
• 8. Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of salvation?
• 9. Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.
• 10. The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high.
• 11. The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.
• 12. Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.
• 13. Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, even for salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah.
• 14. Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.
• 15. Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, through the heap of great waters.
• 16. When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.
• 17. Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
• 18. Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
• 19. The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.
