Solomon’s Labor Force

Solomon’s Labor Force


13Then King Solomon conscripted a labor force of 30,000 men from all Israel. 14He sent them to Lebanon in monthly shifts of 10,000 men, so that they would spend one month in Lebanon and two months at home. And Adoniram was in charge of the forced labor.


15Solomon had 70,000 porters and 80,000 stonecutters in the mountains, 16not including his 3,300 [fn] foremen who supervised the workers.


17And the king commanded them to quarry large, costly stones to lay the foundation of the temple with dressed stones. 18So Solomon’s and Hiram’s builders, along with the Gebalites, quarried the stone and prepared the timber and stone for the construction of the temple.


5:16 Hebrew; some LXX manuscripts 3,600; see 2 Chronicles 2:18.
