1 Kings 9:13-15

Expanded Bible

¹³ He asked, “What ·good are these towns [kinds of towns have] you have given me, my brother?” So he named them the Land of ·Cabul [^Cmeaning “worthless”], and they are still called that today. ¹⁴ Hiram had sent Solomon ·about nine thousand pounds [^L120 talents] of gold.

¹⁵ This is the account of the forced labor Solomon ·used [conscripted] to build the ·Temple [^Lhouse] and ·the palace [^Lhis own house]. He had them fill in the ·land [terraces; ^Lthe Millo; ^Ca fortification of uncertain type] and build the ·wall [fortifications] around Jerusalem. He also had them rebuild the cities of Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
