Contextual Overview

1 And it happened, at the end of twenty years, Solomon built the house of Jehovah, and his own house. 2 As to the cities that Hiram had given to Solomon, Solomon had built them, and he caused the sons of Israel to live there. 3 And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and prevailed over it. 4 And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities that he built in Hamath. 5 And he built Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the lower, as fortified cities, with walls, two leaved doors, and bars; 6 and Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and all the desire of Solomon that he wanted to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion. 7 All the people who were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel, 8 (they were of their sons who were left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel had not exterminated) Solomon caused them to go for forced labor to this day. 9 And none of the sons of Israel did Solomon make slaves for his work, but they were men of war, and commanders of his officers, and commanders of his chariots, and his horsemen. 10 And these were the commanders of the deputies King Solomon had, two hundred and fifty who were rulers among the people.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon,.... Which Solomon first gave to him, but he not liking them, returned them to him, 1 Kings 9:12,

Solomon built them; or rebuilt them, being very much out of repair, which might be one reason of Huram's not accepting them:

and caused the children of Israel to dwell there; they being inhabited by others, the remains of the Canaanitcs perhaps; see 2 Chronicles 8:7.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The cities which Huram had restored to Solomon - These cities had not been mentioned previously by the writer of Chronicles, who, however, seems to assume that the fact of their having been given by Hiram to Solomon is known to his readers. See 1 Kings 9:11-13.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 8:2. The cities which Huram had restored1 Kings 9:11.
