15 nxa kungaba njalo kumele libe leqiniso lokuthi libeka inkosi ekhethwe nguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.+ Kumele likhethe inkosi phakathi kwabafowenu, lingakhethi umuntu wesinye isizwe ongasimfowenu ukuthi alibuse. 16 Inkosi leyo akumelanga ibe lamabhiza amanengi+ kumbe ithume abantu ukuthi babuyele eGibhithe ukuze bayezuza amabhiza amanengi khonale+ ngoba uJehova walitshela wathi, ‘Akumelanga liphinde libuyele eGibhithe.’

24 Abantu bonke emhlabeni babefisa ukumbona uSolomoni ukuze bazizwele ngezabo inhlakanipho eyayifakwe nguNkulunkulu enhliziyweni yakhe.+ 25 Babebuya lezipho, izitsha zesiliva lezegolide, lezigqoko, lezikhali, lamafutha ebhalisamu, lamabhiza lezimbongolo.* Lokhu kwakusenzakala minyaka yonke.

26 USolomoni waqhubeka engezelela izinqola zempi lamabhiza.* Wayelezinqola zempi ezingu-1 400 lamabhiza angu-12 000.*+ Wayekugcina emadolobheni ezinqola zempi laseduze lalapho ayehlala khona eJerusalema.+

14 njalo waqhubeka engezelela izinqola zempi lamabhiza.*+ Wayelezinqola zempi ezingu-1 400, lamabhiza angu-12 000.* Wayekugcina emadolobheni+ ezinqola zempi laseduze lalapho ayehlala khona eJerusalema.+

17 EGibhithe inqola ngayinye yayithengwa ngenhlamvu zesiliva ezingu-600, ibhiza elilodwa lizinhlamvu zesiliva ezingu-150. Babesithi bangawathenga, labo bawathengisele wonke amakhosi amaHithi lamakhosi eSiriya.
