1 Kings 9:10-23

101Now it cameH1961 aboutH1961 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 juniperH1265 timberH6086 and goldH2091, 3satisfying allH3605 his desireH2656), that KingH4428 SolomonH8010 thenH227 gaveH5414 HiramH2438 twentyH6242 citiesH5892 in the landH776 of GalileeH1551. 12So HiramH2438 leftH3318 TyreH6865 to seeH7200 the citiesH5892 whichH834 SolomonH8010 had givenH5414 him, and they 4did not pleaseH3474H5869 him. 13And he saidH559, “WhatH4100 are theseH428 citiesH5892 whichH834 you have givenH5414 me, my brotherH251?” So 5they have been calledH7121 the landH776 of 67CabulH3521 to thisH2088 dayH3117. 148And HiramH2438 sentH7971 to the kingH4428 9120H3967H6242 talentsH3603 of goldH2091.

15Now thisH2088 is the accountH1697 of the forcedH4522 laborH4522 whichH834 KingH4428 SolomonH8010 10conscriptedH5927 to buildH1129 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, his own houseH1004, the 1112MilloH4407, the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389, 13HazorH2674, 14MegiddoH4023, and 15GezerH1507. 16For PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 had goneH5927 upH5927 and overthrownH3920 GezerH1507 and burnedH8313 it with fireH784, and killedH2026 the 16CanaanitesH3669 who livedH3427 in the cityH5892; and he had 17givenH5414 it as a dowryH7964 to his daughterH1323, Solomon’sH8010 wifeH802. 17So SolomonH8010 rebuiltH1129 GezerH1507 and the lowerH8481 18Beth-horonH1032, 18and 19BaalathH1191 and TamarH8559 in the wildernessH4057, in the landH776 of Judah, 19and allH3605 the storageH4543 citiesH5892 whichH834 SolomonH8010 hadH1961, that is, 20the citiesH5892 for 21his chariotsH7393 and the citiesH5892 for 2223his horsemenH6571, and 2425everythingH2837 that it pleasedH2836H2837 SolomonH8010 to buildH1129 in JerusalemH3389, in LebanonH3844, and in allH3605 the landH776 26under 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, 2127their descendantsH1121 whoH834 were leftH3498 afterH310 them in the landH776, 28whomH834 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 wereH3201 unableH3808H3201 to completelyH2763 eliminateH2763, 29from them SolomonH8010 conscriptedH5927 30forcedH4522 laborersH5647H4522, as they are to thisH2088 dayH3117. 22But SolomonH8010 31did not makeH5414 slavesH5650 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; for they were menH376 of warH4421, his servantsH5650, his commandersH8269, his charioteersH7991, his chariotH7393 commandersH8269, and his horsemenH6571.

23TheseH428 were the 3233chiefH8269 officersH5324 whoH834 were inH5921 chargeH5921 ofH5921 Solomon’sH8010 workH4399, 550H2568H3967H2572, 34who ruledH7287 over the peopleH5971 doingH6213 the workH4399.
