2 Chronicles 8

¹And after twentie yeere when Salomon had built the house of the Lord, and his owne house,

²Then Salomon built the cities that Huram gaue to Salomon, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.

³And Salomon went to Hamath Zobah, and ouercame it.

⁴And he built Tadmor in the wildernesse, and repayred all the cities of store which hee built in Hamath.

⁵And he built Beth-horon the vpper, and Beth-horon the nether, cities defensed with walles, gates and barres:

⁶Also Baalath, and al the cities of store that Salomon had, and all the charet cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and euery pleasant place that Salomon had a minde to builde in Ierusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the lande of his dominion.

⁷And all the people that were left to ye Hittites, and ye Amorites, and Perizzites, and the Hiuuites, and the Iebusites, which were not of Israel,

⁸But of their children which were left after them in the lande, whome the children of Israel had not consumed, euen them did Salomon make tributaries vntill this day.

⁹But of the children of Israel did Salomon make no seruantes for his worke: for they were men of warre, and his chiefe princes, and the captaines of his charets and of his horsemen.

¹⁰So these were the chiefe of the officers which Salomon had, euen two hundreth and fiftie that bare rule ouer the people.

¹¹Then Salomon brought vp the daughter of Pharaoh out of the citie of Dauid, into the house that he had built for her: for he saide, My wife shall not dwel in the house of Dauid King of Israel: for it is holy, because that the Arke of the Lord came vnto it.
