1 Kings 9:15-22

15And this is the reasonH1697 of the levyH4522 which kingH4428 SolomonH8010 raisedH5927; for to buildH1129 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, and his own houseH1004, and MilloH4407, and the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389, and HazorH2674, and MegiddoH4023, and GezerH1507. 16For PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 had gone upH5927, and takenH3920 GezerH1507, and burntH8313 it with fireH784, and slainH2026 the CanaanitesH3669 that dweltH3427 in the cityH5892, and givenH5414 it for a presentH7964 unto his daughterH1323, Solomon’sH8010 wifeH802. 17And SolomonH8010 builtH1129 GezerH1507, and Beth–horonH1032 the netherH8481, 18And BaalathH1191, and TadmorH8412 in the wildernessH4057, in the landH776, 19And all the citiesH5892 of storeH4543 that SolomonH8010 had, and citiesH5892 for his chariotsH7393, and citiesH5892 for his horsemenH6571, and thatH2837 which SolomonH8010 desiredH2836 to buildH1129 in JerusalemH3389, and in LebanonH3844, and in all the landH776 of his dominionH4475.1 20And all the peopleH5971 that were leftH3498 of the AmoritesH567, HittitesH2850, PerizzitesH6522, HivitesH2340, and JebusitesH2983, which were not of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, 21Their childrenH1121 that were leftH3498 afterH310 them in the landH776, whom the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 also were not ableH3201 utterly to destroyH2763, upon those did SolomonH8010 levyH5927 a tributeH4522 of bondserviceH5647 unto this dayH3117. 22But of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did SolomonH8010 makeH5414 no bondmenH5650: but they were menH582 of warH4421, and his servantsH5650, and his princesH8269, and his captainsH7991, and rulersH8269 of his chariotsH7393, and his horsemenH6571.
