11:009:014 And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.
11:009:015 And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised;
for to build the house of the LORD, and his own house, and
Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and
Gezer.
11:009:016 For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and
burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the
city, and given it for a present unto his daughter, Solomon's
wife.
11:009:017 And Solomon built Gezer, and Bethhoron the nether,
11:009:018 And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,
11:009:019 And all the cities of store 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.
11:009:020 And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites,
Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the
children of Israel,
11:009:021 Their 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 levy a tribute of bondservice unto this day.
11:009:022 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen: but
they were men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and
his captains, and rulers of his chariots, and his horsemen.
11:009:023 These were the chief of the officers that were over Solomon's
work, five hundred and fifty, which bare rule over the people
that wrought in the work.
