24. Lonke ihlabathi laye lifuna ubuso bukaSolomon, ukuba live ubulumko bakhe, awayebubeke entliziyweni yakhe uThixo.
25. Bazisa elowo umnikelo wakhe; iimpahla zesilivere, neempahla zegolide, nezambatho, nezikrweqe, nobulawu, namahashe, noondlebende, into yeminyaka ngeminyaka.
26. USolomon wahlanganisa iinqwelo zokulwa namahashe akhwelwayo, waba newaka elinamakhulu amané eenqwelo zokulwa, namawaka alishumi elinamabini amahashe akhwelwayo; wazibeka ezo zinto emizini yeenqwelo zokulwa, nakukumkani eYerusalem.
27. Ukumkani wayenza isilivere yanjengamatye eYerusalem, nemisedare* wayenza yanjengemithombe esesihlanjeni, ukuba mininzi.
28. Amahashe abenawo uSolomon avela eYiputa; laza iqela labathengela ukumkani lalithabatha iqela ngalinye ngenani elithile.
29. Kwenyuka kwaphuma inqwelo yokulwa eYiputa ngamakhulu amathandathu eeshekele* zesilivere, nehashe ngekhulu elinamanci mahlanu; benjenjalo bona ngokwabo ukubathuthela ookumkani bonke bamaHeti, nookumkani bama-Aram.*
