At the end of twenty years, Solomon had quite a list of accomplishments. He had:built The Temple of God and his own palace;rebuilt the cities that Hiram had given him and colonized them with Israelites;marched on Hamath Zobah and took it;fortified Tadmor in the desert and all the store-cities he had founded in Hamath;built the fortress cities Upper Beth Horon and Lower Beth Horon, complete with walls, gates, and bars;built Baalath and store-cities;built chariot-cities for his horses.Solomon built impulsively and extravagantly—whenever a whim took him. And in Jerusalem, in Lebanon—wherever he fancied.
