1 Kings 9:12-19 English Standard Version (ESV)

12. But when Hiram came from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him, they did not please him.

13. Therefore he said, “What kind of cities are these that you have given me, my brother?” So they are called the land of Cabul to this day.

14. Hiram had sent to the king 120 talents of gold.

15. And this is the account of the forced labor that King Solomon drafted to build the house of the Lord and his own house and the Millo and the wall of Jerusalem and Hazor and Megiddo and Gezer

16. (Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and captured Gezer and burned it with fire, and had killed the Canaanites who lived in the city, and had given it as dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife;

17. so Solomon rebuilt Gezer) and Lower Beth-horon

18. and Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land of Judah,

19. and all the store cities that Solomon had, and the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and whatever Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
