And it came to pass at the end of twenty years,.... See Gill on Kg1 9:10. . 2 Chronicles 8:2 ch2 8:2 ch2 8:2 ch2 8:2That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon,.... Which Solomon first gave to him, but he not liking them, returned them to him, Kg1 9:12, Solomon built them; or rebuilt them, being very much out of repair, which might be one reason of Huram's not accepting them: and caused the children of Israel to dwell there; they being inhabited by others, the remains of the Canaanitcs perhaps; see Ch2 8:7.
