Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 9:16

9:14 Sent - And this seems to be here added, both to declare thequantity of the gold sent, which had been only named before, ver.#11|,and as the reason why he resented Solomon's action, because so greata sum required a better recompense.

9:15 Raised - Both the levy of men; of which, chap.#5:13|, and thelevy of money upon his people and subjects. He raised this levy, bothto pay what he owed to Hiram, and to build the works following.
