Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 2 Chronicles 8:8
[But] of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until this day.
8. but of their children ] R.V. of their Children.
them did Solomon make to pay tribute ] R.V. of them did Solomon raise a levy of bondservants. The word “tribute” (A.V.) suggests payment in money, but, as may be seen from 2Ch 2:17-18, the subject peoples acknowledged their subjection otherwise, viz., by submitting to do task-work for Solomon.

2Ch 8:8 [But] of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until this day.
Ver. 8. Them did Solomon make to pay tribute. ] Not for a toleration of their heathenish superstitions – as our William Rufus dealt by the Jews here, nor to use them as the Pope still doth the Jews in his dominions, to suck from the meanest, and to be sucked – or rather squeezed as full sponges – by the greatest; but for state service, and haply to gain them to God.
