*
And it came to pass ,
at the end of twenty years ,
when Solomon had built the two houses ,
the house of Yahweh ,
and the house of the king ;
*
Hiram king of Tyre having supplied Solomon with timber of cedar ,
and with timber of fir ,
and with gold ,
according to all his desire ,
that ,
then ,
King Solomon gave unto Hiram twenty cities ,
in the land of Galilee .
*
And Hiram came out from Tyre to view the cities which ,
Solomon ,
had given him ,
and they were not pleasing in his eyes .
*
So he said What cities are these which thou hast given me ,
my brother ?
And he called them ,
Unfruitful Land ,
unto this day .
*
Now Hiram had sent to the king ,
a hundred and twenty talents of gold .
*
Now ,
the following ,
is an account of the tax which King Solomon raised ,
for building the house of Yahweh and his own house ,
and Millo ,
and the wall of Jerusalem ,
and Hazor and Megiddo ,
and Gezer .
*
Pharaoh king of Egypt ,
had gone up and captured Gezer ,
and burned it with fire ,
the Canaanites also who were dwelling in the city ,
had he slain ,
and had given it as a dowry ,
to his daughter ,
wife of Solomon .
*
So then Solomon built Gezer ,
and Beth-horon ,
the nether ,
*
and Baalath and Tadmor in the wilderness ,
in the land ;
*
also all the store cities ,
which Solomon had ,
and the cities for chariots ,
and the cities for horsemen ,
and the desire that he was pleased to build in Jerusalem ,
and in Lebanon ,
and in all the land that he ruled over .
*
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 ,
who were left after them in the land ,
whom the sons of Israel were not able to devote to destruction ,
Solomon levied them for a toiling labour-band unto this day .
*
But ,
of the sons of Israel ,
Solomon devoted none to bond-service ,
but ,
they ,
were men of war ,
and his servants ,
and his generals ,
and his heroes ,
and captains of his chariots ,
and his horsemen .
*
These ,
were the chiefs of the officers ,
who were over the work ,
for Solomon ,
five hundred and fifty ,
who ruled over the people that wrought in the work .
*
Scarcely had Pharaohs daughter come up out of the city of David ,
into her own house ,
which he had built for her ,
when he built Millo .
*
And Solomon used to offer ,
three times a year ,
ascending-sacrifices and peace-offerings ,
upon the altar which he had built unto Yahweh ,
and to offer incense at the altar which was before Yahweh ,
thus Solomon gave completeness unto the house .
*
A fleet also ,
did King Solomon build in Ezion-geber ,
which is beside Eloth on the shore of the Red Sea ,
in the land of Edom .
*
And Hiram sent in the fleet his servants ,
seamen ,
having knowledge of the sea ,
with the servants of Solomon ;
*
and they came to Ophir ,
and fetched from thence ,
gold ,
four hundred and twenty talents ,
and brought it to King Solomon .
