15 Now this is the account of those conscripted for forced labor+ that King Solʹo·mon levied to build the house of Jehovah+ and his own house and the Mound*+ and the wall+ of Jerusalem and Haʹzor+ and Me·gidʹdo+ and Geʹzer.+

24 However, Pharʹaoh’s daughter+ herself came up out of the City of David+ to her own house that he had built for her. It was then that he built the Mound.+

27 And this is the reason why he lifted up his hand against the king: Solʹo·mon himself had built the Mound.*+ He had closed up the gap of the City of David his father.+

8 And he began to build the city all around, from the Mound even to the parts round about, but Joʹab himself brought to life+ the rest of the city.

5 Furthermore, he took courage and built up all the broken-down wall+ and raised towers+ upon it, and on the outside another wall,+ and repaired the Mound*+ of the City of David, and made missiles+ in abundance and shields.+
