1 Kings 9:15-28 - Solomon's Accomplishments
15 And this is the sum of the tribute, which king Solomon raised to build the house of the LORD and his own house, and Mello and the walls of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer. 16 For Pharaoh, king of Egypt, went up and took Gezer and burnt it with fire, and slew the Cananites that dwelt in the city, and gave it for a present unto his daughter that was Solomon's wife. 17 And Solomon built Gezer and Bethhoron the nether; 18 and Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness that is in the land; 19 and all the store cities that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen and all that his lust was to build in Jerusalem and Lebanon and in all the land of his kingdom.
20 And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel, 21 the children of the said nations that were left in the land, because the children of Israel were not able to destroy them, did Solomon make tributaries unto this day. 22 And of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen. But they were men of war and his servants and his lords and Captains and rulers of his chariots and of his Horsemen. 23 And these many lords that oversaw the work, had Solomon five hundred and fifty, which ruled the people that wrought in the work.
24 And Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David unto the house which Solomon had built for her. And after that he built Mello.
25 And thrice a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he had built unto the LORD, to burn the fat thereon: which altar is before the LORD. And when king Solomon had made the house perfect,
26 he made ships in Eziongeber which is beside Eloth, on the brink of the reed sea, in the land of Edom. 27 And Hiram sent by ship also of his servants, that were shipmen and expert in the sea, with the servants of Solomon. 28 And they went to Ophir and fetched from thence gold, to the sum of four hundred and twenty two talents, and brought it to Solomon.
