1 Kings 9:15-22

15And this is the account of the levy which kingH4428 SolomonH8010 raised, to buildH1129 the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and his own houseH1004, and MilloH4407, and the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389, and HazorH2674, and MegiddoH4023, and GezerH1507.

16— PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 had goneH5927 up and takenH3920 GezerH1507, and burnedH8313 it with fireH784, and slainH2026 the CanaanitesH3669 that dweltH3427 in the cityH5892, and givenH5414 it as a dowry to his daughterH1323, Solomon's wifeH802.

17— And SolomonH8010 builtH1129 GezerH1507, and lower Beth-horonH1032,

18and BaalathH1191, and Tadmor in the wildernessH4057, in the landH776,

19and all the store-cities that SolomonH8010 had, and citiesH5892 for chariotsH7393, and citiesH5892 for the horsemenH6571, and that which SolomonH8010 desired to buildH1129 in JerusalemH3389, and on LebanonH3844, and in all the landH776 of his dominionH4475.

20All the peopleH5971 that were leftH3498 of the AmoritesH567, the HittitesH2850, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children of IsraelH3478,

21their children that were leftH3498 after them in the landH776, whom the children of IsraelH3478 were not ableH3201 utterly to destroyH2763, upon them did SolomonH8010 impose a tribute of bondservice until this dayH3117.

22But of the children of IsraelH3478 did SolomonH8010 makeH5414 no bondmen; but they were menH376 of warH4421, and his servantsH5650, and his chiefsH8269, and his captains, and captains of his chariotsH7393, and his horsemenH6571.
