21 Ngokuba ukumkani ubeneenqanawa eziya eTarshishe ndawonye nabakhonzi bakaHiram; zeza kanye ngeminyaka emithathu iinqanawa ezo zaseTarshishe, zithwele igolide, nesilivere, neempondo zeendlovu, neentsimango, neepikoko.
22 Wakhula ke ukumkani uSolomon ngaphezu kookumkani bonke bomhlaba ngobutyebi nangobulumko.
23 Bonke ookumkani bomhlaba bafuna ubuso bukaSolomon, ukuba beve ubulumko bakhe, awayebubeke entliziyweni yakhe uThixo.
24 Bazìsa elowo umnikelo wakhe, iimpahla zesilivere neempahla zegolide, nezambatho, nezikrweqe, nobulawu, namahashe, noondlebende, into yeminyaka ngeminyaka.
25 USolomon wayenamawaka amané emikhombe yezitali zamahashe neenqwelo, neshumi elinamabini amawaka amahashe akhwelwayo; wawabeka emizini yeenqwelo, nakukumkani eYerusalem.
26 Ubelawula ookumkani bonke, ethabathela kuwo uMlambo,* azise ezweni lamaFilisti, ezisa nasemdeni waseYiputa.
27 Ukumkani wayenza isilivere yanjengamatye eYerusalem, nemisedare* wayenza yanjengemithombe esezihlanjeni, ukuba mininzi.
