008:005 Also he built Beth Horon the upper, and Beth Horon the lower,
fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars;
008:006 and Baalath, and all the storage cities that Solomon had,
and all the cities for his chariots, and the cities for
his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his
pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land
of his dominion.
008:007 As for all the people who were left of the Hittites,
and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites,
and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel;
008:008 of their children who were left after them in the land,
whom the children of Israel didn't consume, of them did
Solomon conscripted forced labor to this day.
008:009 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for
his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains,
and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.
008:010 These were the chief officers of king Solomon, even two-hundred fifty,

008:016 Now all the work of Solomon was prepared to the day of the
foundation of the house of Yahweh, and until it was finished.
[So] the house of Yahweh was completed.
008:017 Then went Solomon to Ezion Geber, and to Eloth, on the seashore
in the land of Edom.
008:018 Huram sent him ships and servants who had knowledge of the sea
