SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:17

Restauró pues Salomón a Gezer, y a la baja Bet-horón,

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 17. And Solomon built Gezer , etc.] Rebuilt it, it having been burnt, at least great part of it, by Pharaoh when he took it: and Bethhoron the nether ; and the upper also, ( 2 Chronicles 8:5), which belonged to the tribe of Ephraim, and were on the borders of it, between that and Benjamin, ( Joshua 16:3,5 18:13,14).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 15-28 - Here is a further account of Solomon's greatness. He began at the righ end, for he built God's house first, and finished that before he bega his own; then God blessed him, and he prospered in all his othe buildings. Let piety begin, and profit follow; leave pleasure to the last. Whatever pains we take for the glory of God, and to profi others, we are likely to have the advantage. Canaan, the holy land, the glory of all lands, had no gold in it; which shows that the bes produce is that which is for the present support of life, our own an others; such things did Canaan produce. Solomon got much by his merchandise, and yet has directed us to a better trade, within reach of the poorest. Wisdom is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold, Pr 3:14 __________________________________________________________________
