“That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.”
Solomon rebuilt the cities that Huram had given to him, and settled the people of Israel in them — Huram (the Tyrian king) had granted Solomon certain cities (עָרִים אֲשֶׁר־נָתַן־לוֹ חוּרָם). Solomon rebuilt (וַיַּשִּׁבֵם) and resettled them with Israelites (וַיִּשְׁכֹּן בָּהֶם אֶת־בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל). The restoration and settlement of these cities expanded Solomon's territorial control and administrative network.
