18 aBaalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land of Judah,
19 all the storage cities that Solomon had, cities for ahis chariots and cities for his bcavalry, and whatever Solomon cdesired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
20 aAll the people who were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel—
21 that is, their descendants awho were left in the land after them, bwhom the children of Israel had not been able to destroy completely—cfrom these Solomon raised dforced labor, as it is to this day.
22 But of the children of Israel Solomon amade no forced laborers, because they were men of war and his servants: his officers, his captains, commanders of his chariots, and his cavalry.
23 Others were chiefs of the officials who were over Solomon’s work: afive hundred and fifty, who ruled over the people who did the work.
