What does 2 Chronicles 8:2 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
2Ch 8:1-6. Solomon's Buildings. 2. cities which Huram had restored ... Solomon built them, &c.--These cities lay in the northwest of Galilee. Though included within the limits of the promised land, they had never been conquered. The right of occupying them Solomon granted to Huram, who, after consideration, refused them as unsuitable to the commercial habits of his subjects (see on 1Ki 9:11). Solomon, having wrested them from the possession of the Canaanite inhabitants, repaired them and filled them with a colony of Hebrews.
