1 Kings 9:25-27

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁵ Three times every year Solomon offered burnt offerings and friendship offerings as sacrifices to the Lord. He did this on the altar that he had built for the Lord. With these offerings, he also burned incense to worship the Lord. So the temple became the place to worship the Lord.

²⁶ King Solomon also built ships at Ezion-Geber. This place is near Elath in Edom, on the shore of the Red Sea. ²⁷ Hiram had sailors who knew how to sail ships on the sea. He sent some of these men to work with Solomon's sailors.
