Focus Passage: 2 Chronicles 8:1-6 (The Message)
1-6 At the end of twenty years, Solomon had quite a list of accomplishments. He had:
- built The Temple of God and his own palace;
- rebuilt the cities that Hiram had given him and colonized them with Israelites;
- marched on Hamath Zobah and took it;
- fortified Tadmor in the desert and all the store-cities he had founded in Hamath;
- built the fortress cities Upper Beth Horon and Lower Beth Horon, complete with walls, gates, and bars;
- built Baalath and store-cities;
- built chariot-cities for his horses.
Solomon built impulsively and extravagantly—whenever a whim took him. And in Jerusalem, in Lebanon—wherever he fancied.
