1 Kings, 9

1. When Solomon had finished building the Temple of Yahweh, the royal palace and everything else which Solomon had wanted to do,

1. When Solomon had finished building the house of the LORD and the king's house and all that Solomon desired to build,

2. Yahweh appeared to Solomon a second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.

2. the LORD appeared to Solomon a second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.

3. Yahweh said to him, 'I have heard your prayer and the entreaty which you have before me. I consecrate this temple which you have built: I place my name there for ever; my eyes and my heart will be there always.

3. And the LORD said to him, "I have heard your prayer and your supplication, which you have made before me; I have consecrated this house which you have built, and put my name there for ever; my eyes and my heart will be there for all time.

4. For your part, if you walk before me in innocence of heart and in honesty, like your father David, if you do everything that I command and keep my laws and my ordinances,

4. And as for you, if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, with integrity of heart and uprightness, doing according to all that I have commanded you, and keeping my statutes and my ordinances,

5. I shall make your royal throne secure over Israel for ever, as I promised your father David when I said, "You will never lack for a man on the throne of Israel."

5. then I will establish your royal throne over Israel for ever, as I promised David your father, saying, `There shall not fail you a man upon the throne of Israel.'

6. But if you turn away from me, either you or your descendants, and instead of keeping my commandments and laws which I have laid down for you, you go and serve other gods and worship them,

6. But if you turn aside from following me, you or your children, and do not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods and worship them,

7. then I shall banish Israel from the country which I have given them, and shall disown this Temple which I have consecrated for my name, and Israel will be a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

7. then I will cut off Israel from the land which I have given them; and the house which I have consecrated for my name I will cast out of my sight; and Israel will become a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

8. As for this once-exalted Temple, everyone who passes by will be appalled, and they will whistle and say, "Why has Yahweh treated this country and this Temple like this?"

8. And this house will become a heap of ruins; everyone passing by it will be astonished, and will hiss; and they will say, `Why has the LORD done thus to this land and to this house?'

9. And the answer will be, "Because they deserted Yahweh their God who brought their ancestors out of Egypt, and they adopted other gods and worshipped and served them; that is why Yahweh has brought all these disasters on them." '

9. Then they will say, `Because they forsook the LORD their God who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshiped them and served them; therefore the LORD has brought all this evil upon them.'"

10. At the end of the twenty years that it took Solomon to erect the two buildings, the Temple of Yahweh and the royal palace

19. and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and whatever Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

20. All the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Per'izzites, the Hivites, and the Jeb'usites, who were not of the people of Israel --

21. their descendants still remaining in the country on whom the Israelites had not been able to enforce the curse of destruction -- these Solomon levied as forced labourers, as is still the case today.

21. their descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the people of Israel were unable to destroy utterly -- these Solomon made a forced levy of slaves, and so they are to this day.

22. Solomon did not, however, impose forced labour on the Israelites; for they were soldiers, his officials, his administrators, his officers and his chariot and cavalry commanders.

Notas al pie:

9:1-3 - Dios se aparece a Salomón por segunda vez tras la finalización del Templo y el palacio. Reafirma su pacto, prometiendo bendiciones si Salomón y el pueblo obedecen, pero también advirtiendo de las consecuencias de la desobediencia. La fidelidad de Dios a sus promesas y advertencias es un tema constante (véanse también 2 Crónicas 7:12-16 y Salmo 132:13-14).

9:4-5 - Dios le promete a Salomón que si él y sus descendientes caminan delante de Él con integridad de corazón y rectitud, como lo hizo David, siempre habrá un descendiente en el trono de Israel. La importancia de la obediencia al pacto es fundamental para la prosperidad del reino (véase también 2 Samuel 7:12-16 y 1 Reyes 3:14).

9:6-9 - Dios advierte que si el pueblo de Israel se desvía y adora a otros dioses, el Templo será destruido e Israel se convertirá en una vergüenza para las naciones. Esta advertencia ilustra la naturaleza condicional de la bendición de Dios, que depende de la fidelidad del pueblo (véanse también Deuteronomio 28:15-68 y Jeremías 7:12-14).

9:10-14 - Salomón entrega veinte ciudades de Galilea a Hiram, rey de Tiro, a cambio de su ayuda en la construcción del Templo. Sin embargo, Hiram no está satisfecho con las ciudades. Este episodio refleja los aspectos diplomáticos del reinado de Salomón y sus complejas alianzas políticas (véanse también 2 Crónicas 8:1-2 y 2 Samuel 5:11).

9:26-28 - Salomón establece una flota en Ezión-geber, lo que aporta gran riqueza a Israel. Su éxito naval demuestra su dominio comercial y económico, fortaleciendo el reino mediante el comercio internacional (véanse también 2 Crónicas 9:21-22 y Salmo 72:10).

Versos relacionados con 1 Kings, 9:

1 Reyes capítulo 9 presenta la respuesta de Dios a la dedicación del Templo. ¿Qué promesas y advertencias ofrece Dios? Este significativo texto relata la segunda aparición de Dios a Salomón, reafirmando el pacto y advirtiendo contra la infidelidad. El capítulo también describe otros proyectos de construcción de Salomón y sus relaciones comerciales. 1 Reyes 9 destaca el equilibrio entre bendición y responsabilidad. Considere con nosotros cinco pasajes bíblicos que iluminan los principios de obediencia y las consecuencias presentes en este revelador capítulo.

2 Crónicas 7:12-14: "El Señor se apareció a Salomón de noche y le dijo: 'He oído tu oración y he elegido este lugar para mí como templo para los sacrificios. Cuando cierre el cielo para que no llueva, o envíe langostas para devorar la tierra, o envíe plagas sobre mi pueblo, si mi pueblo, que es llamado por mi nombre, se humilla y ora y busca mi rostro y se aleja. de sus malos caminos oiré desde el cielo, perdonaré sus pecados y sanaré su tierra.'" - Este pasaje complementa y amplía la respuesta de Dios a Salomón registrada en 1 Reyes 9:1-9.

Jeremías 7:4-7: "No confiéis en palabras engañosas, diciendo: '¡Éste es el templo del Señor, el templo del Señor, el templo del Señor!' Si verdaderamente cambiáis vuestros caminos y vuestras acciones, y os tratáis unos a otros con justicia, si no oprimís al extranjero, al huérfano y a la viuda, y no derramáis sangre inocente en este lugar, ni seguís a dioses ajenos para vuestra propia perdición, entonces los haré habitar en este lugar, en la tierra que di a sus padres desde el principio y para siempre." - Jeremías advierte contra la falsa confianza en el templo, haciéndose eco de las advertencias de Dios a Salomón en 1 Reyes 9:6-9.

Mateo 21:12-13: "Jesús entró en el templo y expulsó a todos los que allí compraban y vendían. Derribó las mesas de los cambistas y las sillas de los que vendían palomas, y les dijo: 'Escrito está: Mi casa será llamada casa de oración; pero vosotros la estáis convirtiendo en cueva de ladrones." - Jesús cita Isaías 56:7, que hace eco del propósito del templo establecido en 1 Reyes 9:3.

Hechos 7:46-50: "Encontró favor ante Dios y pidió que se le permitiera proporcionar una morada para el Dios de Jacob, pero fue Salomón quien le construyó una casa. Sin embargo, el Altísimo no habita en casas hechas por hombres. Como dice el profeta: 'El cielo es mi trono, y la tierra es el estrado de mis pies. ¿Qué tipo de casa me construirás? dice el Señor, ¿o dónde estaría el lugar de mi descanso? ¿No hicieron mis manos todas estas cosas?'" - Esteban hace referencia a la construcción del templo por parte de Salomón, pero recuerda que Dios no se limita a los edificios físicos, haciéndose eco de temas de 1 Reyes 9.

Hebreos 3:3-6: "Jesús fue considerado digno de mayor gloria que Moisés, así como el constructor de una casa tiene mayor honor que la casa misma. Porque cada casa es construida por alguien, pero Dios es el constructor de todo. Moisés fue fiel como siervo en toda la casa de Dios, dando testimonio de lo que se diría en el futuro. Cristo, sin embargo, es fiel como Hijo sobre la casa de Dios; y esta casa somos, si nos aferramos a la confianza y esperanza de que nos jactamos." - El autor de Hebreos compara a Jesús con Moisés e implícitamente con Salomón como constructores de la "casa de Dios", refiriéndose al templo físico y espiritual.
