* And it happened , at the end of twenty years Solomon had built the two houses , the house of Jehovah and the house of the king . * Hiram the king of Tyre had lifted Solomon with cedar trees and with fir trees , and with gold , according to all his desire ; then king Solomon gave to Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee . * And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given to him , and they were not right in his eyes . * And he said , What are these cities that you have given to me , my brother ? And one called them the land of Cabul to this day . * And Hiram sent to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold . * And this is the reason of the labor force that king Solomon raised , to build the house of Jehovah , and his own house , and Millo , and the wall of Jerusalem , and Hazor , and Megiddo , and Gezer . * (Pharaoh the king of Egypt had gone up and had captured Gezer , and had burned it with fire . And he killed the Canaanites who lived in the city , and gave it as a dowry to his daughter , the wife of Solomon .) * and Solomon built Gezer , and Beth-horon the lower , * and Baalath , and Tadmor in the wilderness , in the land ; * and all the store cities which Solomon had , and the cities for his chariots , and the cities of the horsemen , and the desire of Solomon that he desired to build in Jerusalem , and in Lebanon , and in all the land of his dominion . * All the people that were left of the Amorites , the Hittites , the Perizzites , the Hivites , and the Jebusites who were not of the sons of Israel , * their sons left behind them in the land , whom the sons of Israel had not been able to exterminate , Solomon even caused to go on them a burden of forced labor to this day . * But Solomon did not choose a slave out of the sons of Israel , for they were the men of war , and his servants , and his rulers , and his commanders , and the commanders of his chariots , and his horsemen . * These were the commanders of the officers who were over the work of Solomon : five hundred and fifty , those ruling among the people who were laboring in the work . * But the daughter of Pharaoh went up out of the city of David to her house that he built for her ; then he built Millo . * And three times in a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar that he built to Jehovah , and he burned incense on the altar before Jehovah , and finished the house . * And king Solomon built a navy in Ezion-geber , which is beside Eloth , on the lip of the Sea of Reeds , in the land of Edom . * And Hiram sent his servants in the navy , shipmen who knew the sea , with the servants of Solomon ; * and they came to Ophir and took gold from there , four hundred and twenty talents , and brought it in to king Solomon .
