17. and Shelomoh built Gezer, and Lower Bĕyth Ḥoron,
18. and Ba‛alath, and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land of Yehuḏah,
19. and all the storage cities that Shelomoh had, and cities for his chariots and cities for his cavalry, and whatever Shelomoh desired to build in Yerushalayim, and in Leḇanon, and in all the land of his rule.
20. All the people who were left of the Amorites, the Ḥittites, the Perizzites, the Ḥiwwites, and the Yeḇusites, who were not of the children of Yisra’ĕl –
21. their descendants who were left in the land after them, whom the children of Yisra’ĕl had not been able to destroy completely – from these Shelomoh raised compulsory labour, as it is to this day.
22. But Shelomoh did not make slaves of the children of Yisra’ĕl, because they were men of battle, and his servants, and his rulers, and his officers, and commanders of his chariots, and his cavalry.
23. These were the chiefs of the officials who were over the work of Shelomoh: five hundred and fifty, who ruled over the people who did the work.
24. But the daughter of Pharaoh came up from the City of Dawiḏ to her house that he built for her. Then he built Millo.
25. And three times a year Shelomoh brought burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he had built for יהוה, and he burned incense with that which was before יהוה – thus gave completeness to the House.
26. And Sovereign Shelomoh built a fleet of ships at Etsyon Geḇer, which is near Ěyloth on the shore of the Sea of Reeds, in the land of Eḏom.
27. And Ḥiram sent his servants with the fleet, seamen who knew the sea, to work with the servants of Shelomoh.
