10 Now all the leaders of the army of king Solomon were two hundred fifty, who were instructing the people.
11 Truly, he transferred the daughter of Pharaoh, from the City of David, to the house that he had built for her. For the king said: 'My wife shall not live in the house of David, king of Israel, for it has been sanctified. For the ark of the Lord has entered into it.'
12 Then Solomon offered holocausts to the Lord on the altar of the Lord, which he had constructed before the portico,
13 so that every day there would be an offering on it, in accord with the precept of Moses, on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and three times a year on the feast days, that is, on the solemnity of unleavened bread, and on the solemnity of weeks, and on the solemnity of tabernacles.
14 And he appointed, in accord with the plan of his father David, the offices of the priests in their ministries; and those of the Levites, in their orders, so that they might praise and minister before the priests according to the ritual of each day; and the porters, in their divisions, from gate to gate. For so had David, the man of God, instructed.
