Contextual Overview
1 It took Solomon twenty years to build the house of the Lord and his own house. At the end of that time, 2 he built again the cities which Huram had given to him. And he had the people of Israel live in them. 3 Then Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, and took it. 4 He built Tadmor in the desert and all his store-cities in Hamath. 5 He built upper Beth-horon and lower Beth-horon. He made the city strong with walls, gates, and long pieces of iron. 6 Solomon built Baalath and all the store-cities he had. He built all the cities for his war-wagons, and the cities for his horsemen. He built whatever he wanted to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and in all the land under his rule. 7 There were people who were left of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel. 8 They were the children of those who were left in the land, whom the people of Israel had not destroyed. Solomon made all of these people do hard work, as they do to this day. 9 But he did not make the people of Israel do hard work. They were soldiers, leaders, captains of war-wagons, and his horsemen. 10 These were the head leaders of King Solomon. There were 250 who ruled over the people.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon,.... Which Solomon first gave to him, but he not liking them, returned them to him, 1 Kings 9:12,
Solomon built them; or rebuilt them, being very much out of repair, which might be one reason of Huram's not accepting them:
and caused the children of Israel to dwell there; they being inhabited by others, the remains of the Canaanitcs perhaps; see 2 Chronicles 8:7.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The cities which Huram had restored to Solomon - These cities had not been mentioned previously by the writer of Chronicles, who, however, seems to assume that the fact of their having been given by Hiram to Solomon is known to his readers. See 1 Kings 9:11-13.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 8:2. The cities which Huram had restored — 1 Kings 9:11.
