1 Kings 9:9-20
New American Standard Bible
10Now it came about at the end of twenty years in which Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the Lord and the king’s house
11(Hiram king of Tyre had supplied Solomon with cedar and juniper timber and gold, satisfying all his desire), that King Solomon then gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
12So Hiram left Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him, and they did not please him.
13And he said, 'What are these cities which you have given me, my brother?' So they have been called the land of Cabul to this day.
14And Hiram sent to the king 120 talents of gold.
15Now this is the account of the forced labor which King Solomon conscripted to build the house of the Lord, his own house, the Millo, the wall of Jerusalem, Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
16For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and overthrown Gezer and burned it with fire, and killed the Canaanites who lived in the city; and he had given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.
17So Solomon rebuilt Gezer and the lower Beth-horon,
18and Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land of Judah,
19and all the storage cities which Solomon had, that is, the cities for his chariots and the cities for his horsemen, and everything that it pleased Solomon to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land under his rule.
20As for all the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the sons of Israel,
King James Version
Chapter 9
9And they shall answer, Because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the Lord brought upon them all this evil. 10And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the Lord, and the king's house, 11(Now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire,) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee. 12And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not. 13And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul unto this day. 14And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.
15And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised; for to build the house of the Lord, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
16For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for a present unto his daughter, Solomon's wife.
17And Solomon built Gezer, and Bethhoron the nether,
18And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,
19And all the cities of store that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
20And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel,
Christian Standard Bible
10At the end of twenty years during which Solomon had built the two houses, the Lord’s temple and the royal palace —
11King Hiram of Tyre having supplied him with cedar and cypress logs and gold for his every wish —King Solomon gave Hiram twenty towns in the land of Galilee.
12So Hiram went out from Tyre to look over the towns that Solomon had given him, but he was not pleased with them.
13So he said, "What are these towns you’ve given me, my brother?" So he called them the Land of Cabul, as they are still called today.
14Now Hiram had sent the king nine thousand pounds of gold.
15This is the account of the forced labor that King Solomon had imposed to build the Lord’s temple, his own palace, the supporting terraces, the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
16Pharaoh king of Egypt had attacked and captured Gezer. He then burned it, killed the Canaanites who lived in the city, and gave it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.
17Then Solomon rebuilt Gezer, Lower Beth-horon,
18Baalath, Tamar in the Wilderness of Judah,
19all the storage cities that belonged to Solomon, the chariot cities, the cavalry cities, and whatever Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, or anywhere else in the land of his dominion.
New Living Translation
10It took Solomon twenty years to build the Lord’s Temple and his own royal palace. At the end of that time,
11he gave twenty towns in the land of Galilee to King Hiram of Tyre. (Hiram had previously provided all the cedar and cypress timber and gold that Solomon had requested.)
12But when Hiram came from Tyre to see the towns Solomon had given him, he was not at all pleased with them.
13What kind of towns are these, my brother?' he asked. So Hiram called that area Cabul (which means 'worthless'), as it is still known today.
14Nevertheless, Hiram paid Solomon 9,000 pounds of gold.
15This is the account of the forced labor that King Solomon conscripted to build the Lord’s Temple, the royal palace, the supporting terraces, the wall of Jerusalem, and the cities of Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
16(Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, had attacked and captured Gezer, killing the Canaanite population and burning it down. He gave the city to his daughter as a wedding gift when she married Solomon.
17So Solomon rebuilt the city of Gezer.) He also built up the towns of Lower Beth-horon,
18Baalath, and Tamar in the wilderness within his land.
19He built towns as supply centers and constructed towns where his chariots and horses could be stationed. He built everything he desired in Jerusalem and Lebanon and throughout his entire realm.

11and Hiram king of Tyre had supplied Solomon with cedar and cypress timber and gold, as much as he desired, King Solomon gave to Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
12But when Hiram came from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him, they did not please him.
13Therefore he said, "What kind of cities are these that you have given me, my brother?" So they are called the land of Cabul to this day.
14Hiram had sent to the king 120 talents of gold.
15And this is the account of the forced labor that King Solomon drafted to build the house of the Lord and his own house and the Millo and the wall of Jerusalem and Hazor and Megiddo and Gezer
16(Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and captured Gezer and burned it with fire, and had killed the Canaanites who lived in the city, and had given it as dowry to his daughter, Solomon 's wife;
17so Solomon rebuilt Gezer) and Lower Beth-horon
18and Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land of Judah,
19and all the store cities that Solomon had, and the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and whatever Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
20All the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the people of Israel —
New International Version
10At the end of twenty years, during which Solomon built these two buildings—the temple of the Lord and the royal palace—
11King Solomon gave twenty towns in Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, because Hiram had supplied him with all the cedar and juniper and gold he wanted.
12But when Hiram went from Tyre to see the towns that Solomon had given him, he was not pleased with them.
13"What kind of towns are these you have given me, my brother?" he asked. And he called them the Land of Kabul, a name they have to this day.
14Now Hiram had sent to the king 120 talents of gold.
15Here is the account of the forced labor King Solomon conscripted to build the Lord’s temple, his own palace, the terraces, the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, Megiddo and Gezer.
16(Pharaoh king of Egypt had attacked and captured Gezer. He had set it on fire. He killed its Canaanite inhabitants and then gave it as a wedding gift to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.
17And Solomon rebuilt Gezer.) He built up Lower Beth Horon,
18Baalath, and Tadmor in the desert, within his land,
19as well as all his store cities and the towns for his chariots and for his horses —whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon and throughout all the territory he ruled.
New King James Version
10Now it happened at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the Lord and the king’s house
11(Hiram the king of Tyre had supplied Solomon with cedar and cypress and gold, as much as he desired), that King Solomon then gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
12Then Hiram went from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him, but they did not please him.
13So he said, “What kind of cities are these which you have given me, my brother?” And he called them the land of Cabul, as they are to this day.
14Then Hiram sent the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold.
15And this is the reason for the labor force which King Solomon raised: to build the house of the Lord, his own house, the Millo, the wall of Jerusalem, Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
16(Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and taken Gezer and burned it with fire, had killed the Canaanites who dwelt in the city, and had given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.)
17And Solomon built Gezer, Lower Beth Horon,
18Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land of Judah,
19all the storage cities that Solomon had, cities for his chariots and cities for his cavalry, and whatever Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
