When King Toi of Hamath heard that David had defeated the whole army of Hadadezer,
Jehoshaphat grew steadily greater. He built fortresses and storage cities in Judah.
He also built Upper Beth-horon and Lower Beth-horon, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars,
Therefore they set taskmasters over them to oppress them with forced labor. They built supply cities, Pithom and Rameses, for Pharaoh.
