10. And it came to pass at the end of esrim shanim, when Sh'lomo had built the two batim, the Beis Hashem, and the Bais HaMelech,
11. (Now Chiram Melech Tzor had furnished Sh'lomo with cedar trees and cypress trees, and with zahav, according to all his desire), that then HaMelech Sh'lomo gave Chiram esrim ir (twenty towns) in Eretz HaGalil.
12. And Chiram came out from Tzor (Tyre) to see the towns which Sh'lomo had given him; and they pleased him not.
13. And he said, What towns are these which thou hast given me, achi (my brother)? And he called them Eretz Kavul unto this day.
14. And Chiram sent to HaMelech 120 talents of zahav.
15. And this is the account of the mas (forced labor) which HaMelech Sh'lomo conscripted; to build the Beis Hashem, and his own Bais, and Millo, and the Chomat Yerushalayim, and Chatzor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
16. For Pharaoh Melech Mitzrayim had gone up, and captured Gezer, and burned it with eish, and slain the Kena'ani that dwelt in the ir, and given it for shilluchim (going-away presents) unto his bat eshet Sh'lomo.
17. And Sh'lomo rebuilt Gezer, and Lower Beit Choron,
18. And Baalat, and Tadmor in the midbar, in the land,
19. And all the storage cities that Sh'lomo had, and cities for his merkavot, and cities for his parashim (calvary), and that which Sh'lomo desired to build in Yerushalayim, and in Levanon, and in all the eretz of his memshalet.
20. And kol haAm that were left of HaEmori (the Amorites), HaChitti (Hittites), HaPerizzi (Perizzites), HaChivi (Hivites), and Yevusi (Jebusites), which were not of the Bnei Yisroel,
21. Their banim that were left after them in HaAretz, whom the Bnei Yisroel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did Sh'lomo conscript mas of oved (bondservice) unto this day.
22. But of the Bnei Yisroel did Sh'lomo make no eved; but they were anshei hamilchamah, and his avadim, and his sarim, and his shalishim (captains), and commanders of his merkavot, and his parashim.
23. These were the chief of the officials that were over the melakhah (work) of Sh'lomo five hundred and fifty, harodim (the ones supervising) the people that wrought in the melakhah.
