1 Kings, chapter 9 1 Kings 9 1 Kings 8 chapter 8 1 Kings 10 chapter 10 First book of Kings Old Testament 11 Nevi'im 4 Former Prophets Leningrad-codex-09-kings.pdf 250px The pages containing the Books of Kings (1 & 2 Kings) Leningrad Codex (1008 CE). 1 Kings 9 is the ninth chapter of the Books of Kings in the Hebrew Bible or the First Book of Kings in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.Halley 1965 191Collins 2014 288 The book is a compilation of various annals recording the acts of the kings of Israel and Judah by a Deuteronomic compiler in the seventh century BCE, with a supplement added in the sixth century BCE.McKane 1993 324 This chapter belongs to the section focusing on the reign of Solomon over the unified kingdom of Judah and Israel (1 Kings 1 to 11).Dietrich 2007 234 The focus of this chapter is Solomon's achievements.Dietrich 2007 238–239 Text This chapter was originally written in the Hebrew language and since the 16th century is divided into 28 verses. Textual witnesses Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text tradition, which includes the Codex Cairensis (895), Aleppo Codex (10th century), and Codex Leningradensis (1008).Würthwein 1995 35-37 There is also a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint, made in the last few centuries BCE. Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; B; 4th century) and Codex Alexandrinus (A; A; 5th century).Würthwein 1995 73-74The whole book of 1 Kings is missing from the extant Codex Sinaiticus.Codex Sinaiticus Old Testament references 1 Kings 9:1–9 9: 2 Chronicles 7:11–22 91 Kings 9, Berean Study Bible 1 Kings 9:10–28 9: 2 Chronicles 8:1–18 9 God's response to Solomon (9:1–9) With the completion of the Temple, God did not need to appear to Solomon in Gibeon (verse 2) but in Jerusalem, assuring Solomon of the continuation of his dynasty and the temple, as long as God's laws were kept.Dietrich 2007 239 The destruction of the Temple and the loss of land are predicted here, as well as the possibility of return, so this section contains two things: 'an explanation for woe and an offer of salvation'.Dietrich 2007 239 The tribute to Tyre (9:10–14) Several times 1 Kings 9–10 overlaps with 1 Kings 3:1 9–1 Kings 4:34 9, bracketing the construction of the temple.Dietrich 2007 239 After paying Hiram I of Tyre with agricultural products (1 Kings 5:25 9), Solomon gave a strip of land in Galilee (at the Bay of Akko), but Hiram was not satisfied with this gift. However, in 2 Chronicles 8:2 it is asserted that Hiram also gave Solomon some cities as a present.Dietrich 2007 239 Verse 14 Then Hiram sent the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold.1 Kings 9:14 NKJV NKJV "120 talents": about 41 2 tons, or 4 metric tons.Note on 1 Kings 9:14 in MEV One talent was about 75 pounds or 34 kilograms.Note on 1 Kings 9:14 in ESV Construction of towns and forced labor (9:15–28) This section parallels the narrative in 1 Kings 5:13–18, emphasizing that Israelites were not employed as forced labor, but 'only' Canaanites, for the construction of various cities outside Jerusalem.Dietrich 2007 239 Currently, there are archaeological excavation of the cities in the list, in particular of Gezer, Megiddo, and Hazor.Dietrich 2007 239 In Jerusalem, Solomon expanded the construction of 'Millo' (verse 15), a term which is probably related to the meaning of 'to fill', referring to a substructure designed to secure the sloping terrain of the palace grounds (cf 2 Samuel 5:9; 1 Kings 11:27; 2 Kings 12:20).Dietrich 2007 240 Pharaoh's daughter (verse 16) moved to her own palace (verse 24).Dietrich 2007 240 Solomon's triannual sacrificial feasts at the temple was mentioned in verse 25, followed by a report of Solomon's shipping expedition from Red Sea (or 'Reed Sea, cf. Exodus 14), to Ophir, a place that could be near Aden or on the Horn of Africa.Dietrich 2007 240 Verse 15 thumb|right|180px|Stepped stone structure/millo with the House of Ahiel to the left Israel Israel relief location map-blank.jpg 200 right Israel Cities fortified by Solomon. yes blank Israel 32.585278 35.184444 Blue_pog.svg 6 Megiddo 60 top Israel 33.016667 35.566944 Blue_pog.svg 6 Hazor 60 left Israel 31.859 34.919 Blue_pog.svg 6 Gezer 60 top Israel 31.783 35.21667 Blue_pog.svg 6 Jerusalem 60 right And this is the account of the forced labor that King Solomon drafted to build the house of the Lord and his own house and the Millo and the wall of Jerusalem and Hazor and Megiddo and Gezer1 Kings 9:15 ESV ESV "Millo" (he המלוא): a structure in Jerusalem first mentioned as a part of the city of David in 2 Samuel 5:9 KJV (parallels in 1 Chronicles 11:8 NKJV), and in the Books of Kings (this verse), previously seeming to have been a rampart built by the Jebusites prior to Jerusalem's being conquered by the Israelites.Blank, W., Bible Study – The Millo https://web.archive.org/web/20140226221304/http://www.keyway.ca/htm2003/20030728.htm 2014-02-26 , accessed 9 October 2017 "Hazor" (he תל חצור), also Chatsôr (he חָצוֹר), translated in LXX as Hasōr (grc Άσώρ)Gauthier Henri Dictionnaire des Noms Géographiques Contenus dans les Textes Hiéroglyphiques Vol. 4 1927 24 https://archive.org/details/Gauthier1927/page/n15Wallis Budge E.
