1 Kings 9:12-21 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

12. And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him, and they did not please him.

13. And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And they called them the land of Cabul unto this day.

14. And Hiram had sent the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold.

15. And this is the account of the levy which King Solomon raised to build the house of the Lord and his own house and Millo and the wall of Jerusalem and Hazor and Megiddo and Gezer.

16. For Pharaoh, king of Egypt, had gone up and taken Gezer and burnt it with fire and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city and given it for a gift unto his daughter, Solomon’s wife.

17. And Solomon built Gezer and Bethhoron, the lower,

18. and Baalath and Tadmor in the land of the wilderness,

19. likewise all the cities of store that Solomon had and cities for his chariots and cities for his horsemen and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land of his dominion.

20. And all the peoples that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the sons of Israel,

21. their children that were left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel were not able utterly to destroy, upon those Solomon levied a tribute of bondservice unto this day.
