1 Kings 9:17-28

17And Solomon built Gezer, and Bethhoron the lower, 18And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land, 19And all the store cities that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.1 20And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel, 21Their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did Solomon raise forced labour to this day. 22But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no slaves: but they were men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots, and his horsemen. 23These were the chief of the officers that were over Solomon’s work, five hundred and fifty, who bore rule over the people that wrought in the work. 24But Pharaoh’s daughter came up from the city of David to her house which Solomon had built for her: then he built Millo. 25And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he built to the LORD, and he burnt incense upon the altar that was before the LORD. So he finished the house.2 26And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom.3 27And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, sailors that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon. 28And they came to Ophir, and obtained from there gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
