The verses around it, from 1 Kings 9.

12 So Hiram went out from Tyre to inspect the towns that Solomon had given him, but he was not pleased with them.
13 “What are these towns you have given me, my brother?” asked Hiram, and he called them the Land of Cabul, as they are called to this day.

18 Baalath, and Tamar in the Wilderness of Judah,
19 as well as all the store cities that Solomon had for his chariots and horses—whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout the land of his dominion.
