2 Chronicles 8

1  And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of Jehovah, and his own house,

2  That the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.

3  And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, and prevailed against it.

4  And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store-cities, which he built in Hamath.

5  Also he built Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars;

6  And Baalath, and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

7  As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, that were not of Israel;

8  Of their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, of them did Solomon raise a levy `of bondservants' unto this day.

9  But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.

10  And these were the chief officers of king Solomon, even two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over the people.
