Foreign Affairs and Building Projects After twenty years, during which Solomon built the LORD’s temple and the royal palace,
King Solomon gave King Hiram of Tyre twenty cities in the region of Galilee, because Hiram had supplied Solomon with cedars, evergreens, and all the gold he wanted.
When Hiram went out from Tyre to inspect the cities Solomon had given him, he was not pleased with them.
Hiram asked,“Why did you give me these cities, my friend?” He called that area the region of Cabul, a name which it has retained to this day.
Hiram had sent to the king 120 talents of gold.
Here are the details concerning the work crews King Solomon conscripted to build the LORD’s temple, his palace, the terrace, the wall of Jerusalem, and the cities of Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
(Pharaoh, king of Egypt, had attacked and captured Gezer. He burned it and killed the Canaanites who lived in the city. He gave it as a wedding present to his daughter, who had married Solomon.)
