I Kings 5:26-6:13.
This week's haftorah describes the construction of the Holy Temple under the direction of King Solomon, echoing this week's Torah portion which discusses the construction of the Desert Tabernacle.
The haftorah discusses the manpower -- both Jewish and non-Jewish -- that Solomon recruited for the building of the Holy Temple.
Also discussed are the hewing and transportation of the stone, the laying of the foundation, as well as the
dimensions of the Holy Temple, its components and materials.
The haftorah ends with G‑d's word to King Solomon: "This house which you are building, if you walk in My statutes, and execute My ordinances, and keep all My commandments to walk in them; then will I establish My word with you, which I spoke to David your father. And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake My people, Israel."
