Contextual Overview

¹ And it came to pass after twenty years, in which Solomon built the house of the Lord, and his own house, ² that Solomon rebuilt the cities which Chiram had given to Solomon, and caused the children of Israel to dwell in them. ³ And Solomon came to Baesoba, and fortified it. ⁴ And he built Thoedmor in the wilderness, and all the strong cities which he built in Emath. ⁵ And he built Baethoron the upper, and Baethoron the lower, strong cities, —they had walls, gates, and bars; ⁶ and Balaath, and all the strong cities which Solomon had, and all his chariot cities, and cities of horsemen, and all things that Solomon desired according to his desire of building, in Jerusalem, and in Libanus, and in all his kingdom. ⁷ As for all the people that was left of the Chettites, and the Amorites, and the Pherezites, and the Evites, and the Jebusites, who are not of Israel, ⁸ but were of the children of them whom the children Israel destroyed not, that were left after them in the land, even them did Solomon make tributaries to this day. ⁹ But Solomon did not make any of the children of Israel servants in his kingdom; for, behold, they were warriors and rulers, and mighty men, and captains of chariots and horsemen. ¹⁰ And these are the chiefs of the officers of king Solomon, two hundred and fifty overseeing the work among the people.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Solomon went to Hamathzobah,.... In an hostile manner, which is the only instance of any warlike expedition of Solomon's. This was Coelesyria, which though subdued in the times of David, perhaps rebelled, and now Solomon went forth to reduce it:

and prevailed against it; took it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Hamath-zobah - Usually identified with the “great Hamath” Amos 6:2; the capital of Coele-Syria; but probably a town of Zobah otherwise unknown, which revolted from Solomon, and was reduced to subjection.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 8:3. Hamath-zobah — "Emessa, on the river Orontes." - Calmet.
