1 Kings 9:24-26
New English Translation

24 Solomon built the terrace as soon as Pharaoh’s daughter moved up from the City of David[a] to the palace Solomon built for her.[b]

25 Three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings[c] on the altar he had built for the Lord, burning incense along with them before the Lord. He made the temple his official worship place.[d]

26 King Solomon also built ships[e] in Ezion Geber, which is located near Elat in the land of Edom, on the shore of the Red Sea.
