15 And this is the account of (A)the forced labor that King Solomon drafted to build the house of the Lord and his own house and (B)the Millo and the wall of Jerusalem and (C)Hazor and (D)Megiddo and Gezer 16 (Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and captured Gezer and burned it with fire, and had killed (E)the Canaanites who lived in the city, and had given it as dowry to (F)his daughter, Solomon's wife; 17 so Solomon rebuilt Gezer) and (G)Lower Beth-horon 18 and Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land of Judah,[a] 19 and all the store cities that Solomon had, and (H)the cities for his chariots, and the cities for (I)his horsemen, and whatever Solomon (J)desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
