2 Chronicles 8:1-13
English Standard Version
Chapter 8
1At the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the house of the Lord and his own house, 2Solomon rebuilt the cities that Hiram had given to him, and settled the people of Israel in them.
3And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and took it.
4He built Tadmor in the wilderness and all the store cities that he built in Hamath.
5He also built Upper Beth-horon and Lower Beth-horon, fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars,
6and Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had and all the cities for his chariots and the cities for his horsemen, and whatever Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
7All the people who were left of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel,
8from their descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the people of Israel had not destroyed — these Solomon drafted as forced labor, and so they are to this day.
9But of the people of Israel Solomon made no slaves for his work; they were soldiers, and his officers, the commanders of his chariots, and his horsemen.
10And these were the chief officers of King Solomon, 250, who exercised authority over the people.
12Then Solomon offered up burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of the Lord that he had built before the vestibule,
13as the duty of each day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses for the Sabbaths, the new moons, and the three annual feasts — the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Booths.
