4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness and all the supply cities, which he built in Hamath.
5 He built Upper Beth-horon and Lower Beth-horon, fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars;
6 also Baalath, all the supply cities belonging to Solomon, and all the cities for the chariots, the cities for horses, and whatever else Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in the entire land under his dominion.
7 All the people who were left of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites who were not Israelites—
8 those of their descendants who were left in the land and whom the Israelites had not destroyed—Solomon conscripted as forced laborers, as they are to this day.
9 But Solomon made none of the Israelites forced laborers for his works, for they were his fighting force, commanders, adjutants, chariot officers, and cavalry.
10 They were also King Solomon’s two hundred and fifty overseers who directed the people.
