1 It ^acame to pass at the end of ^btwenty years, when Solomon had built the house of the Lord and his own house,

2 that the cities which¹ Hiram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them; and he settled the children of Israel there.

3 And Solomon went to Hamath Zobah and seized it.

4 ^aHe also built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the storage cities which he built in ^bHamath.

5 He built Upper Beth Horon and ^aLower Beth Horon, fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars,

6 also Baalath and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities and the cities of the cavalry, and all that Solomon ^adesired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

7 ^aAll the people who were left of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, who were not of Israel—

8 that is, their descendants who were left in the land after them, whom the children of Israel did not destroy—from these Solomon raised forced labor, as it is to this day.
