Contextual Overview
1 At the end of twenty years, during which time Shlomo had built the house of Adonai and his own palace, 2 Shlomo built up the cities which Huram had given to Shlomo and had the people of Isra'el live there. 3 Then Shlomo attacked Hamat-Tzovah and defeated it. 4 He built Tadmor in the desert and all the cities for storing supplies that he built in Hamat. 5 He also built Upper Beit-Horon and Lower Beit-Horon, fortified cities with walls, gates and bars; 6 Ba‘alat; and all the cities that Shlomo had for storing supplies, all the cities for his chariots, the cities for his horsemen, and all the other buildings Shlomo wanted to build in Yerushalayim, in the L'vanon and throughout the land he ruled. 7 As for all the people still left from the Hitti, Emori, P'rizi, Hivi, and Y'vusi, who were not part of Isra'el, 8 from their descendants remaining after them in the land, whom the people of Isra'el did not exterminate — from them Shlomo levied [his forced laborers], as it is to this day. 9 But Shlomo did not raise any of his slaves from the people of Isra'el; rather, these were the soldiers, his chief commanders, and the officials in charge of his chariots and horsemen. 10 King Shlomo had 250 chief officers in charge of the people.
