1 Kings 9:14-16

Modern English Version

¹⁴ Hiram sent to the king one hundred and twenty talents^[a] of gold.

¹⁵ This is the account of the forced labor which King Solomon conscripted to build the house of the Lord and his own house, Millo, the wall of Jerusalem, Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer. ¹⁶ For Pharaoh, king of Egypt, had gone up against and conquered Gezer and burned it with fire and slain the Canaanites that lived in the city and given it as a present to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.
