And this was the reason why he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breach of the city of David his father.

The way in which his hand came to be lifted up against the king was this: Solomon was building the Millo and making good the damaged parts of the town of his father David;

Αυτη δε ητο η αιτια, δια την οποιαν εσηκωσε χειρα κατα του βασιλεως· ο Σολομων ωκοδομει την Μιλλω και εκλεισε το χαλασμα της πολεως Δαβιδ του πατρος αυτου·

And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breaches of the city of David his father.
