1 Kings 9:19-21
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
19 and 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. 20 All the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Per′izzites, the Hivites, and the Jeb′usites, who were not of the people of Israel— 21 their descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the people of Israel were unable to destroy utterly—these Solomon made a forced levy of slaves, and so they are to this day.

19 as well as all his store cities(A) and the towns for his chariots(B) and for his horses[a]—whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon and throughout all the territory he ruled.
20 There were still people left from the Amorites, Hittites,(C) Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites(D) (these peoples were not Israelites). 21 Solomon conscripted the descendants(E) of all these peoples remaining in the land—whom the Israelites could not exterminate[b](F)—to serve as slave labor,(G) as it is to this day.
