2 Chronicles 8:1-6

1 After twenty years of building the LORD's temple and his royal palace,

2 Solomon next rebuilt the cities Huram had given him, and he settled Israelites there.

3 Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and seized it.

4 He fortified Tadmor in the wilderness, along with all the storage cities he had built in Hamath.

5 Solomon also built Upper Beth-horon and Lower Beth-horon as fortress cities with walls, gates, and crossbars;

6 Baalath; all the cities he used for storage; and all the cities used for chariots and cavalry—along with everything else he wanted to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout his kingdom.
