Contextual Overview

¹⁵ 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. ¹⁶ (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.) ¹⁷ Solomon built up Gezer, lower Beth Horon, ¹⁸ Baalath, Tadmor in the wilderness, ¹⁹ all the storage cities that belonged to him, and the cities where chariots and horses were kept. He built whatever he wanted in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout his entire kingdom. ²⁰ Now several non-Israelite peoples were left in the land after the conquest of Joshua, including the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. ²¹ Their descendants remained in the land (the Israelites were unable to wipe them out completely). Solomon conscripted them for his work crews, and they continue in that role to this very day. ²² Solomon did not assign Israelites to these work crews; the Israelites served as his soldiers, attendants, officers, charioteers, and commanders of his chariot forces. ²³ These men were also in charge of Solomon's work projects; there were a total of 550 men who supervised the workers. ²⁴ Solomon built the terrace as soon as Pharaoh's daughter moved up from the City of David to the palace Solomon built for her.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Solomon built Gezer,.... Rebuilt it, it having been burnt, at least great part of it, by Pharaoh when he took it:

and Bethhoron the nether; and the upper also, 2 Chronicles 8:5, which belonged to the tribe of Ephraim, and were on the borders of it, between that and Benjamin, Joshua 16:3.
