* And it happened at the end of twenty years , Solomon had built the two houses , the house of the LORD and the king 's house . * Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees , and with gold , according to all his desires . Then King Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee . * And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him . And they did not please him . * And he said , What cities [are ] these which you have given me , my brother ? And he 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 which King Solomon raised to build the house of the LORD and his own house , and Millo , and the wall of Jerusalem , and Hazor , and Megiddo , and Gezer . * For Pharaoh , king of Egypt , had gone up and had taken Gezer and had burned it with fire , and had slain the Canaanites who lived in the city . And he had given it [for ] a present to his daughter , Solomon 's wife . * And Solomon built Gezer , and Beth-horon the lower , * and Baalath , and Tadmor in the wilderness , in the land . * And he built all the store-cities which 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 . * And all the people [who were ] left of the Amorites , Hittites , Perizzites , Hivites , and Jebusites , who [were ] not of the sons of Israel , * their sons who were left after them in the land , whom the sons of Israel also were not able to destroy completely , on those Solomon laid a tribute of bond-service to this day . * But Solomon did not make any slave out of the sons of Israel . But they [were ] men of war , and his servants , and his rulers , and his commanders , and rulers of his chariots , and his horsemen . * These [were ] the chief of the officers who [were ] over Solomon 's work , five hundred and fifty who ruled over the people who labored in the work . * But Pharaoh 's daughter came up from the city of David to her house which had been built for her . And he built Millo . * And three times in a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he had built to the LORD , and he burned incense on the altar which [was ] before the LORD . And he finished the house . * And King Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezion-geber , which [is ] beside Eloth , on the shore of the Red Sea , in the land of Edom . * And Hiram sent in the navy his servants , shipmen who had knowledge of the sea , with the servants of Solomon . * And they came to Ophir , and brought gold from there , four hundred and twenty talents , and brought [it ] to king Solomon .
