1
Now at the end of twenty years, in which time Solomon had put up the house of the Lord and a house for himself,
2
He took in hand the building up of the towns which Huram had given him, causing the children of Israel to make living-places for themselves there.
3
And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and overcame it.
4
And he put up the buildings of Tadmor in the waste land, and of all the store-towns in Hamath;
5
And of Beth-horon the higher and the lower, walled towns with walls and doorways and locks;
6
And of Baalath, and all the store-towns which Solomon had, and the towns where he kept his war-carriages and his horse men, and everything which it was his pleasure to put up in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land under his rule.
