But as applied to Beth-boron, etc; "built" probably means enlarged, strength ened] and Beth-horon the nether [mentioned in connexion with Gezer, Joshua 16:3 (cf. Joshua 10:10 ).

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 9:19

And all the cities of store that Solomon had [cities where the produce of the land was stored for the use of the troops or household, or against a season of scarcity ( Genesis 41:35 ; Exodus 1:11 ), or possibly (Ewald) they were emporiums for the development of trade.

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 9:22

But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen [see however 1 Kings 5:13 , 1 Kings 5:18 . This service, though compulsory, was not servile. Bondage was forbidden Le 25:39.
