Melachim Alef 9:12-19 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

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.
