1 Kings 9:17-28

17— And Solomon built Gezer, and lower Beth-horon, 18and Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land, 19and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and cities for chariots, and cities for the horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and on Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion. 20All the people that were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel, 21their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able utterly to destroy, upon them did Solomon impose a tribute of bondservice until this day. 22But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen; but they were men of war, and his servants, and his chiefs, and his captains, and captains of his chariots, and his horsemen. 23These were the chief superintendents that were over Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, that ruled over the people that wrought in the work. 24But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David to her house which he had built for her: then he built Millo. 25And three times in the year did Solomon offer up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings upon the altar that he had built to Jehovah, and he burned incense upon that which was before Jehovah. So he finished the house. 26And king Solomon made a fleet of ships in Ezion-Geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom. 27And Hiram sent in the fleet his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon; 28and they went to Ophir, and fetched thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
