11
(Hiram the king of Tyre had supplied Solomon with cedar and cypress and gold, as much as he desired), that King Solomon then gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
12
Then Hiram went from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him, but they did not please him.
13
So he said, "What kind of cities are these which you have given me, my brother?" And he called them the land of Cabul, as they are to this day.
14
Then Hiram sent the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold.
15
And this is the reason for the labor force which King Solomon raised: to build the house of the Lord, his own house, the Millo, the wall of Jerusalem, Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
16
(Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and taken Gezer and burned it with fire, had killed the Canaanites who dwelt in the city, and had given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon's wife.)
17
And Solomon built Gezer, Lower Beth Horon,
18
Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land of Judah,
19
all the storage cities that Solomon had, cities for his chariots and cities for his cavalry, and whatever Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
20
All the people who were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel--
21
that is, their descendants who were left in the land after them, whom the children of Israel had not been able to destroy completely--from these Solomon raised forced labor, as it is to this day.
