OET interlinear 1 KI 6:14

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

וַ⁠יִּ֧בֶן שְׁלֹמֹ֛ה אֶת־הַ⁠בַּ֖יִת וַ⁠יְכַלֵּֽ⁠הוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_built Shəlomoh/(Solomon) DOM the,house and,he,finished_it )

The author interrupted his account of the construction of the temple in 6:11–13 to report what Yahweh told Solomon. He is now resuming that account where he left off at 6:10, with the outer walls and roof in place but nothing on the interior of the walls. Use a word, phrase, or other method here that is natural in your language for reminding readers where a story has left off. If you have already translated the book of 1 Samuel, see what you did in the similar case of 1 Samuel 29:1, where the biblical author similarly resumes a story after an interruption. Alternate translation: [Now Solomon’s workers had finished building the temple walls and roof]
