13. Wabuya ke uSolomon esigangeni esibe siseGibheyon, weza eYerusalem, esuka phambi kwentente yokuhlangana, waba ngukumkani kumaSirayeli.
14. USolomon wahlanganisa iinqwelo zokulwa namahashe akhwelwayo; waba newaka elinamakhulu amané eenqwelo zokulwa, namawaka alishumi elinamabini amahashe akhwelwayo; wazibeka emizini yeenqwelo, nakukumkani eYerusalem.
15. Ukumkani wayenza isilivere negolide yaninzi njengamatye eYerusalem, nemisedare* wayenza yanjengemithombe esesihlanjeni, ukuba mininzi.
16. Ukuphuma kwamahashe abengakaSolomon eYiputa, lathi igqiza labathengela ukumkani, lathabatha igqiza lawo ngenani elithile.
17. Baphuma nenqwelo eYiputa, bayithenga ngamakhulu amathandathu eeshekele zesilivere,* nehashe ngekhulu elinamanci mahlanu. Benjenjalo ke bona ngokwabo ukubathuthela amahashe ookumkani bonke bamaHeti nookumkani bama-Aram.*
