it was for to build the house of the Lord;
the temple:

or palace:

a city in the tribe of Naphtali, and which had been a royal city with the Canaanites; see ( Joshua 11:1 ) ( 19:36 )
and Megiddo;
which was in the tribe of Manasseh, ( Joshua 17:11 )
and Gezer;
which was in the tribe of Ephraim, and formerly a royal city of the Canaanites, ( Joshua 10:33 ) ( 16:3 ) .
