1 Kings 9:15-24

15 And this is the account of ^athe forced labor that King Solomon drafted to build the house of the Lord and his own house and ^bthe Millo and the wall of Jerusalem and ^cHazor and ^dMegiddo and Gezer 16 (Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and captured Gezer and burned it with fire, and had killed ^ethe Canaanites who lived in the city, and had given it as dowry to ^fhis daughter, Solomon’s wife; 17 so Solomon rebuilt Gezer) and ^gLower Beth-horon 18 and Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land of Judah, ^{▼▼Hebrew lacks of Judah} 19 and all the store cities that Solomon had, and ⁱthe cities for his chariots, and the cities for ^jhis horsemen, and whatever Solomon ^kdesired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion. 20 All the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the people of Israel— 21 ^ltheir descendants who were left after them in the land, ^mwhom the people of Israel were unable to devote to destruction ^{▼▼That is, set apart ( devote) as an offering to the Lord (for destruction)}— ^othese Solomon drafted to be ^pslaves, and so they are to this day. 22 But ^qof the people of Israel Solomon made no slaves. They were the soldiers, they were his officials, his commanders, his captains, his chariot commanders and his horsemen.

23 These were the chief officers who were over Solomon’s work: ^r550 ^swho had charge of the people who carried on the work.

24 But ^tPharaoh’s daughter went up from the city of David to ^uher own house that Solomon had built for her. ^vThen he built ^wthe Millo.
