1 Kings 9:14

12 Then Hiram went from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him, but they did not please him.

14 Then Hiram sent the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold.

15 And this is the reason for ^athe labor force which King Solomon raised: to build the house of the Lord, his own house,¹ the ^bMillo, the wall of Jerusalem, ^cHazor, ^dMegiddo, and ^eGezer.

16 (Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and taken Gezer and burned it with fire, ^ahad killed the Canaanites who dwelt in the city, and had given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.)
