1 Kings 9:11-27

11(Now HiramH2438 the kingH4428 of TyreH6865 had furnishedH5375 SolomonH8010 with cedarH730 treesH6086 and firH1265 treesH6086, and with goldH2091, according to all his desireH2656,) that thenH227 kingH4428 SolomonH8010 gaveH5414 HiramH2438 twentyH6242 citiesH5892 in the landH776 of GalileeH1551. 12And HiramH2438 came outH3318 from TyreH6865 to seeH7200 the citiesH5892 which SolomonH8010 had givenH5414 him; and they pleasedH3474H5869 him not.1 13And he saidH559, What citiesH5892 are these which thou hast givenH5414 me, my brotherH251? And he calledH7121 them the landH776 of CabulH3521 to this dayH3117.2 14And HiramH2438 sentH7971 to the kingH4428 one hundred and twentyH3967H6242 talentsH3603 of goldH2091.

15And this is the reasonH1697 of the forced labourH4522 which kingH4428 SolomonH8010 raisedH5927; 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 to his daughterH1323, Solomon’sH8010 wifeH802. 17And SolomonH8010 builtH1129 GezerH1507, and BethhoronH1032 the lowerH8481, 18And BaalathH1191, and TadmorH8412 in the wildernessH4057, in the landH776, 19And all the storeH4543 citiesH5892 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 dominionH4475.3 20And all the peopleH5971 that were leftH3498 of the AmoritesH567, HittitesH2850, PerizzitesH6522, HivitesH2340, and JebusitesH2983, who 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 raiseH5927 forced labourH4522H5647 to this dayH3117. 22But of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did SolomonH8010 makeH5414 no slavesH5650: but they were menH582 of warH4421, and his servantsH5650, and his princesH8269, and his captainsH7991, and rulersH8269 of his chariotsH7393, and his horsemenH6571. 23These were the chiefH8269 of the officersH5324 that were over Solomon’sH8010 workH4399, fiveH2568 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572, who bore ruleH7287 over the peopleH5971 that wroughtH6213 in the workH4399. 24But Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323 came upH5927 from the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 to her houseH1004 which Solomon had builtH1129 for her: then he builtH1129 MilloH4407. 25And threeH7969 timesH6471 in a yearH8141 did SolomonH8010 offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 and peace offeringsH8002 upon the altarH4196 which he builtH1129 to the LORDH3068, and he burnt incenseH6999 upon the altarH4196 that was beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. So he finishedH7999 the houseH1004.4 26And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 madeH6213 a navy of shipsH590 in EziongeberH6100, which is beside ElothH359, on the shoreH8193 of the RedH5488 seaH3220, in the landH776 of EdomH123.5 27And HiramH2438 sentH7971 in the navyH590 his servantsH5650, sailorsH582H591 that had knowledgeH3045 of the seaH3220, with the servantsH5650 of SolomonH8010.
