1 Kings 9:15-19

Solomon Builds Cities and Ships

15 Now this is the account of the forced labor which King Solomon ^araised up to build the house of Yahweh, his own house, the ¹^bMillo, the wall of Jerusalem, ^cHazor, ^dMegiddo, and ^eGezer. 16 For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and captured Gezer and burned it with fire, and killed the ^aCanaanites who lived in the city, and had ^bgiven it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife. 17 So Solomon rebuilt Gezer and the lower ^aBeth-horon 18 and ^aBaalath and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land of Judah, 19 and all the storage cities which Solomon had, and ^athe cities for ¹his chariots, and the cities for ¹^bhis horsemen, and ²^call that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land ³under his rule.
