12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD, and peace offerings upon 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 solemn feasts, three times in the year, in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of the fasting, 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; and the porters also by their courses, to guard the doors every day; for so had David the king of Israel, whom the LORD had made king, commanded. 15 And he did not depart from all that King David had commanded him concerning the priests and the Levites and concerning all the service of the house. 16 Thus all the work of Solomon was set in order from the day the foundations of the house of the LORD were laid until all its work was finished. 17 Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber, the town which is opposite Eloth, at the seaside in the land of Edom. 18 And Hiram sent his servants by ships, skilful mariners, who knew how to pilot ships in the sea, and they went with the servants of Solomon to the city of Ophir, and took from there four hundred talents of gold, and brought them to King Solomon. 2 Chronicles 8:12-18, Lamsa Bible.
