2 Chronicles 8:1-6

1 At the end of twenty years, during which time Shlomo had built the house of ADONAI and his own palace,
2 Shlomo built up the cities which Huram had given to Shlomo and had the people of Isra'el live there.
3 Then Shlomo attacked Hamat-Tzovah and defeated it.
4 He built Tadmor in the desert and all the cities for storing supplies that he built in Hamat.
5 He also built Upper Beit-Horon and Lower Beit-Horon, fortified cities with walls, gates and bars;
6 Ba'alat; and all the cities that Shlomo had for storing supplies, all the cities for his chariots, the cities for his horsemen, and all the other buildings Shlomo wanted to build in Yerushalayim, in the L'vanon and throughout the land he ruled.
