2 Chronicles 8:1-6

1Solomon was building the Lord's temple and the king's palace for 20 years.

2After that, he built again the towns that King Hiram had given to him. He sent Israelites to live in them.

3Then Solomon went to Hamath-Zobah and he took it for Israel.

4He made the buildings in Tadmor strong again. That was a town in the wilderness. He did the same thing for the towns that he had built in Hamath region to store things.

5He built again Higher Beth-Horon and Lower Beth-Horon. He made those cities strong. He built walls around them with strong gates.

6He also made Baalath strong, and all his cities where he stored things, as well as all the cities where he kept his chariots and horses. He built everything that he wanted to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon and everywhere in his kingdom.
