Forsooth when twenty years were [ful]filled, after that Solomon had builded the house of the Lord, and his own house,
2
he builded the cities, which Hiram had given to Solomon; and he made the sons of Israel to dwell there. (he rebuilt the cities, which Hiram had given to Solomon; and he ordered the Israelites to live there.)
3
Also he went into Hamath of Zobah, and got it.
4
And he builded Palmyra in (the) desert, and he builded other full strong cities in Hamath.
5
And he builded the higher Bethhoron and the lower Bethhoron, walled cities, having gates, and locks, and bars;
6
also he builded Baalath, and all the strong cities that were of Solomon; and all the cities of carts, and the cities of knights (and all the cities for the chariots, and the cities for the horsemen), (and) king Solomon builded, and disposed all things, whichever he would, in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his power.
