I Do Not Appreciate, as a Matter of Fact I Hate

And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD, and the king's house, (Now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire,) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee. And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not. And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul unto this day.-1 Kings 9:10-13***After David became the 2nd king to reign over all the Israelites in the Promised Land, he began living in a fortress that was captured from idol worshiping Jebusite inhabitants. The fortress became known as the City of David and underwent improvements and expansions. The surrounding area, Jerusalem, was developed and became the royal city. King Hiram (Huram), ruler of Tyre, sent workers and wood to David, and Hiram's men built David a palace. Solomon was the 2nd child born to David and Bathsheba. After Solomon became the 3rd king to reign over all of the Israelites, Hiram sent messengers to Solomon and learned that Solomon was going to build the temple of the Lord that David had wanted to build. Thus, Solomon sent Hiram's men back with a request that he be given wood and skilled workers. Hiram assured Solomon that he would send a constant flow of timber, and Hiram asked Solomon to feed the workers that were sent. After 7 years, the temple was built. Solomon's other building projects, including a royal residence for him and a royal residence for the Egyptian princess he married, took 13 years to build. Over 900 years after Rehoboam, the son born to Solomon and Naamah, became the 4th king to reign over all of the Israelites, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah, the tribe of David and his descendants, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings 1:1-14:31, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles 1:1-12:16, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
