¹⁴ Hiram had sent the king 9,000 pounds of gold.

¹⁵ This is the record of the forced laborers whom King Solomon drafted to build the Lord’s house, his own house, the Millo,^[a] the walls of Jerusalem, and ⌞the cities of⌟ Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer. ¹⁶ (The king of Egypt captured Gezer, burned it down, and killed the Canaanites living there. Then he gave it to his daughter, Solomon’s wife, as a wedding present.)
