1 Kings 9:10-23

101It cameH1961 about 2at the endH7097 of twentyH6242 yearsH8141 in whichH834 SolomonH8010 had builtH1129 the twoH8147 housesH1004, the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 and the king’sH4428 houseH1004 11(HiramH2438 kingH4428 of TyreH6865 had suppliedH5375 SolomonH8010 with cedarH730 and cypressH1265 timberH6086 and goldH2091 according to allH3605 his desireH2656), thenH227 KingH4428 SolomonH8010 gaveH5414 HiramH2438 twentyH6242 citiesH5892 in the landH776 of GalileeH1551. 12So HiramH2438 cameH3318 out from TyreH6865 to seeH7200 the citiesH5892 whichH834 SolomonH8010 had givenH5414 him, and they 3did not pleaseH3474H5869 him. 13He saidH559, “WhatH4100 are theseH428 citiesH5892 whichH834 you have givenH5414 me, my brotherH251?” So 4they were calledH7121 the landH776 of 56CabulH3521 to thisH2088 dayH3117. 147And HiramH2438 sentH7971 to the kingH4428 120H3967H6242 talentsH3603 of goldH2091.

15Now thisH2088 is the accountH1697 of the forcedH4522 laborH4522 whichH834 KingH4428 SolomonH8010 8leviedH5927 to buildH1129 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, his own houseH1004, the 910MilloH4407, the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389, 11HazorH2674, 12MegiddoH4023, and 13GezerH1507. 16For PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 had goneH5927 up and capturedH3920 GezerH1507 and burnedH8313 it with fireH784, and killedH2026 the 14CanaanitesH3669 who livedH3427 in the cityH5892, and had 15givenH5414 it as a dowryH7964 to his daughterH1323, Solomon’sH8010 wifeH802. 17So SolomonH8010 rebuiltH1129 GezerH1507 and the lowerH8481 16Beth-horonH1032 18and 17BaalathH1191 and TamarH8559 in the wildernessH4057, in the landH776 of Judah, 19and allH3605 the storageH4543 citiesH5892 whichH834 SolomonH8010 hadH1961, even 18the citiesH5892 for 19his chariotsH7393 and the citiesH5892 for 2021his horsemenH6571, and 2223allH2837 that it pleasedH2836H2837 SolomonH8010 to buildH1129 in JerusalemH3389, in LebanonH3844, and in allH3605 the landH776 24under his ruleH4475. 20As for allH3605 the peopleH5971 who were leftH3498 of the AmoritesH567, the HittitesH2850, the PerizzitesH6522, the HivitesH2340 and the JebusitesH2983, whoH834 were not of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, 2125their descendantsH1121 whoH834 were leftH3498 afterH310 them in the landH776 26whomH834 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 were unableH3808H3201 to destroyH2763 utterlyH2763, 27from them SolomonH8010 leviedH5927 28forcedH4522 laborersH5647H4522, evenH5704 to thisH2088 dayH3117. 22But SolomonH8010 29did not makeH5414 slavesH5650 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; for they were menH376 of warH4421, his servantsH5650, his princesH8269, his captainsH7991, his chariotH7393 commandersH8269, and his horsemenH6571.

23TheseH428 were the 3031chiefH8269 officersH5324 whoH834 were overH5921 Solomon’sH8010 workH4399, fiveH2568 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572, 32who ruledH7287 over the peopleH5971 doingH6213 the workH4399.
