1 Könige 9:19 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 9:19

And all the cities of store that Solomon had
In which were his magazines of corn, arms, and ammunition; and these were built in Hamath, ( 2 Chronicles 8:4 )

and cities for his chariots;
chariots of war, iron chariots, which were kept in times of peace, in case of necessity, of which Solomon had 1400, ( 1 Kings 10:26 ) ,

and cities for his horsemen;
of which he had 12,000, a standing cavalry:

and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem;
besides the temple and his own palace before mentioned; see ( Ecclesiastes 2:4 ) ,

and in Lebanon;
the house of the forest of Lebanon, which Junius on ( 1 Kings 7:2 ) thinks he built after he had taken Hamathzobah, a royal city of Lebanon; see ( 2 Chronicles 8:3 2 Chronicles 8:6 ) or fortresses on Mount Lebanon, which was the northern border of his kingdom:

and in all the land of his dominions;
where he might repair or fortify cities, or erect new forts for the safety of his kingdom; now for the doing of all this was the levy both of men and money raised, and of whom next follows.

1 Könige 9:19 In-Context

17 Also baute Salomo Geser und das niedere Beth-Horon
18 und Baalath und Thamar in der Wüste im Lande
19 und alle Städte der Kornhäuser, die Salomo hatte, und alle Städte der Wagen und die Städte der Reiter, und wozu er Lust hatte zu bauen in Jerusalem, im Libanon und im ganzen Lande seiner Herrschaft.
20 Und alles übrige Volk von den Amoritern, Hethitern, Pheresitern, Hevitern und Jebusitern, die nicht von den Kindern Israel waren,
21 derselben Kinder, die sie hinter sich übrigbleiben ließen im Lande, die die Kinder Israel nicht konnten verbannen: die machte Salomo zu Fronleuten bis auf diesen Tag.
