International Standard Version

Work on the Temple is Completed

¹⁶ And so Solomon completed all of the work, from the day that the foundation stone of the Lord’s Temple was laid^[a] until the Lord’s Temple was completely finished. ¹⁷ After this, Solomon visited Ezion-geber and Elath at the seashore in the land of Edom. ¹⁸ Hiram sent Solomon^[b] ships and servants who were expert mariners, and they sailed with Solomon’s servants to Ophir,^[c] where they brought back 450 talents^[d] of gold for Solomon.
