Zombo zochokera ku Ezioni-geberi zibweretsa golide, ndipo ntchito ya nyumba ya Atate wathu itha.

Chaputala 8.

Patatha zaka makumi awiri, zimene Solomoni anamanga nyumba ya Atate wathu ndi nyumba yake yaufumu, Solomoni anamanganso mizinda imene Huramu anampatsa, nakhazika Aisraeli m'menemo.

Ndipo Solomoni anapita kukathira nkhondo Hamati-zoba, naugonjetsa. Anamanga Tadimori m'chipululu, pamodzi ndi mizinda yonse yosungira katundu imene anamanga ku Hamati. Anamanganso Beti-horoni wakumtunda ndi Beti-horoni wakutsika kukhala mizinda yolimba, ya malinga, zipata, ndi mipiringidzo, ndi Baalati, ndi mizinda yonse yosungira katundu ya Solomoni, ndi mizinda ya magaleta ake ndi ya okwera akavalo, ndi zonse zimene anafuna kumanga mu Yerusalemu, ku Lebanoni, ndi m'dziko lake lonse.

Panali anthu amene anatsalira a mtundu wa Ahiti, Aamori, Aperezi, Ahivi, ndi Ayebusi, amene sanali Aisraeli. Zidzukulu zawo zimene zinatsalira m'dziko, zimene Aisraeli sanaziwononge, Solomoni anazisonkhanitsa kuti zizigwira ntchito yaukapolo, monga ziliri mpaka lero. Koma Aisraeli Solomoni sanawasandutse akapolo pa ntchito yake; iwo anali asilikali, atsogoleri a akuluakulu ake, ndi atsogoleri a magaleta ake ndi a okwera akavalo. Awa anali akuluakulu a mfumu Solomoni: anthu 250 amene ankayang'anira anthu.

Ndipo Solomoni anatenga mwana wamkazi wa Farao kuchokera ku Mzinda wa Davide, kumtengera ku nyumba imene anamumangira, nati, “Mkazi wanga asakhale m'nyumba ya Davide mfumu ya Israeli, pakuti malo alionse amene likasa la Atate wathu lalowamo ndi oyera.”

Ndipo Solomoni anapereka nsembe zopsereza kwa Atate wathu paguwa limene anamanga patsogolo pa khonde, monga mwa lamulo la tsiku ndi tsiku, malingana ndi lamulo la Mose: masabata, miyezi yatsopano, ndi zikondwerero zitatu za chaka—Chikondwerero cha Buledi Wopanda Chofufumitsa, Chikondwerero cha Masabata, ndi Chikondwerero cha Misasa.

Potsatira malamulo a atate wake Davide, anaika magulu a ansembe pa ntchito zawo, ndi magulu a Alevi kuti ayamike nautumikire patsogolo pa ansembe monga mwa ntchito ya tsiku ndi tsiku, ndi magulu a alonda pa chipata chilichonse, pakuti Davide munthu wa Atate wathu anali atalamula motero. Sanapatuke pa lamulo la mfumu kwa ansembe ndi Alevi pa chinthu chilichonse, ngakhale pa nkhani ya nyumba zosungiramo chuma.

Ntchito yonse ya Solomoni inakonzedwa, kuyambira tsiku limene maziko a nyumba ya Atate wathu anaikidwa mpaka itatha; motero nyumba ya Atate wathu inatheratu.

Ndipo Solomoni anapita ku Ezioni-geberi ndi ku Eloti m'mbali mwa nyanja m'dziko la Edomu. Ndipo Huramu anamtumizira sitima za pamadzi kudzera mwa antchito ake, pamodzi ndi oyendetsa sitima amene ankadziwa nyanja; iwo anayenda pamodzi ndi antchito a Solomoni kupita ku Ofiri, natenga golidi wokwana matani pafupifupi khumi ndi asanu ndi awiri, naubweretsa kwa mfumu Solomoni.
