Contextual Overview

¹And it comes to pass at the end of twenty years that Solomon has built the house of YHWH and his own house. ²As for the cities that Huram has given to Solomon, Solomon has built them, and he causes the sons of Israel to dwell there. ³And Solomon goes to Hamath-Zobah, and lays hold on it;⁴and he builds Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the cities of store that he has built in Hamath. ⁵And he builds Beth-Horon the upper, and Beth-Horon the lower—cities of defense, with walls, double gates, and bar— ⁶and Ba‘alath, and all the cities of store that Solomon had, and all the cities of the chariot, and the cities of the horsemen, and all the desire of Solomon that he desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion. ⁷All the people who are left of the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, who are not of Israel— ⁸of their sons who have been left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel did not consume—Solomon lifts up a tribute to this day. ⁹And Solomon has made none of the sons of Israel servants for his work, but they [are] men of war, and heads of his captains, and heads of his charioteers, and of his horsemen; ¹⁰and these [are] heads of the officers whom King Solomon has, two hundred and fifty who are rulers 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.
