⁹ Then David dwelt in the stronghold, and called it ^(A)the City of David. And David built all around from ^[a]the Millo and inward.

Solomon’s Additional Achievements^(A)

¹⁵ And this is the reason for ^(B)the labor force which King Solomon raised: to build the house of the Lord, his own house, ^[a]the ^(C)Millo, the wall of Jerusalem, ^(D)Hazor, ^(E)Megiddo, and ^(F)Gezer.

²⁴ But ^(A)Pharaoh’s daughter came up from the City of David to ^(B)her house which ^[a]Solomon had built for her. ^(C)Then he built the Millo.

²⁷ And this is what caused him to rebel against the king: ^(A)Solomon had built the Millo and ^[a]repaired the damages to the City of David his father.

²⁰ And ^(A)his servants arose and formed a conspiracy, and killed Joash in the house of ^[a]the Millo, which goes down to Silla.

⁸ And he built the city around it, from ^[a]the Millo to the surrounding area. Joab ^[b]repaired the rest of the city.
