1 Kings 9:15
Ver. 15. And this is the reason of the levy which King Solomon raised,.... Both of men to work, 1Ki 5:13, and of money to defray the expense:
it was for to build the house of the Lord; the temple:
and his own house; or palace:
and Millo; which he repaired: See Gill on "1Sa 5:9".
and the wall of Jerusalem; which, as Abarbinel says, was a large building, there being three walls one within another:
and Hazor; a city in the tribe of Naphtali, and which had been a royal city with the Canaanites; see Jos 11:1
and Megiddo; which was in the tribe of Manasseh, Jos 17:11
and Gezer; which was in the tribe of Ephraim, and formerly a royal city of the Canaanites, Jos 10:33.
