2 Chronicles 8:6 — Meaning and Application

And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath.

Also he built Bethhoron the upper, and Bethhoron the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, and bars;

And Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion. {all that...: Heb. all the desire of Solomon which he desired to build}

{As for} all the people {that were} left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which {were} not of Israel,

{But} of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until this day.
