¹⁷ So Solomon rebuilt Gezer and the lower Beth-horon
¹⁸ and Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land of Judah,
¹⁹ and all the storage cities which Solomon had, even the cities for his chariots and the cities for his horsemen, and all that it pleased Solomon to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land under his rule.
