1 Kings 5:13-18 - Solomon's Work Force

¹³ And King Solomon raised a labour-band, out of all Israel, - and it came to pass that, the labour-band, was thirty thousand men. ¹⁴ And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month, by courses, a month, were they in Lebanon, two months, at home, - and, Adoniram, was over the levy. ¹⁵ And it came to pass that, Solomon, had seventy thousand bearers of burdens, - and eighty thousand hewers in the mountain; ¹⁶ besides the chiefs of Solomon's officers, who were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, - who ruled over the people that wrought in the work. ¹⁷ And the king commanded, and they quarried great stones, costly stones, to found the house with hewn stones. ¹⁸ And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders with the Gebalites wrought them, - thus made they ready the timber and the stones, for building the house.

¹⁷ So Solomon numbered all the men that were sojourners, who were in the land of Israel, after the numbering, wherewith David his father had numbered them, - and they were found to be - a hundred and fifty-three thousand and six hundred. ¹⁸ And he made up from among them - seventy thousand, to bear burdens, and eighty thousand to hew in the mountain, - and three thousand and six hundred, as overseers, to keep the people at work.
