Compare the marginal reference. Solomon was not satisfied that Pharaohs daughter should remain in the palace of David, which was on Mount Zion, in the immediate vicinity of the temple, because he regarded the whole vicinity of the temple as made holy by the presence of the ark of God. His own palace was on the other (western) hill, probably directly opposite to the temple, the valley of the Tyropoeum running between them.

24, 25. three times in ayearnamely, at the passover, pentecost, and feast oftabernacles (2Ch 8:13; 2Ch 31:3).The circumstances mentioned in these two verses form a properconclusion to the record of his buildings and show that his design inerecting those at Jerusalem was to remedy defects existing at thecommencement of his reign (see 1Ki3:1-4).

But Pharaoh’s daughter came up out of the city of David,…. Where he placed her when he first married her, until he had finished his buildings, 1Ki 3:1, which being done he brought her from thence unto her house, which Solomon had built for her; the reason of which is given, not only because it was the house of David, but because it was holy by the ark being there for some time; and therefore he did not judge it proper that his wife, an Egyptian woman, and sometimes in her impurity, should dwell there; see 2Ch 8:11,
then did he build Millo: this being particularly repeated from 1Ki 9:15, and following upon what is said of Pharaoh’s daughter, has led many Jewish writers to conclude her house was built at Millo; and indeed, without supposing this, it is hard to conceive why it should be observed here; the Targum on 2Ch 8:11 calls her name Bithiah.

(24) Pharaohs daughter came up . . .In 2Ch. 8:11 a reason is assigned for this removal: My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy whereunto the ark of the Lord hath come. In this passage the notice of her withdrawal is evidently connected with the building of the Millo described in 1Ki. 9:15, which perhaps trenched on her former quarters in the city of David.

24. Pharaoh’s daughter out of the city of David Hence it is clear that Solomon’s palace was not in the city of David, or on Zion, but (as we have argued in note introductory to chap. vii) on the same mountain as the temple, but at a lower elevation. Her transfer to her new abode is spoken of, like that of the ark and the tabernacle, as a going up. See note on 1Ki 8:4.
Unto her house A department of his own new palace. See on 1Ki 7:8.
Then did he build Millo That is, after he had removed his Egyptian wife to her new home, he repaired this fortress. This passage merely specifies the time of the work referred to in 1Ki 9:15.

1Ki 9:24. Pharaohs daughter came up, &c. In 2Ch 8:11, we learn the reason why she did not continue in the house where David had dwelt; which was because it was a kind of holy place, where it was not fit she should remain, the ark of God having dwelt there.

Solomon’s house for Pharaoh’s daughter 9:24
Solomon was able to provide lavishly for his Egyptian wife, but he probably should not have married her in the first place (cf. 1Ki 11:1-2).
