Solomon’s Labor Force

Then King Solomon conscripted a labor force of 30,000 men from all Israel. 14 He 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.

Solomon had 70,000 {} porters and 80,000 {} stonecutters in the mountains, 16 not including his 3,300 {} foremen who supervised the workers

And the king commanded them to quarry large, costly stones to lay the foundation of the temple with dressed stones. 18 So 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. 6
