2 Chronicles 8:1-6 ▼

1 It took Solomon 20 years to build the LORD's house and his own house.

2 He rebuilt the cities Huram gave him, and he had Israelites live in them.

3 Then Solomon went to Hamath Zobah and conquered it.

4 He rebuilt Tadmor in the desert and built all the storage cities in Hamath.

5 He rebuilt Upper Beth Horon and Lower Beth Horon into cities fortified with walls, double-door gates, and bars.

6 [He also rebuilt] Baalath and all the storage cities that he owned. He built all the cities for his chariots, all the cities for his war horses, and whatever [else] he wanted to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, or the entire territory that he governed.
