Exegesis
The relative clause asher banah bachamat {אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה בַּחֲמָת | ʾăšer bānâ baḥāmat} ‘which he had built in Hamath’ postpositively modifies the store-cities, clarifying their prior establishment. English renders the sequence as simple past, preserving the Hebrew’s emphasis on sequential accomplishment and geographic specificity.
