1 Kings 9:24

Solomon's Accomplishments

²³ There were 550 chief officers who supervised Solomon's activities and managed the staff that was doing the work. ²⁴ As soon as Pharaoh's daughter arrived from the City of David to live in her house that Solomon had built for her, then he fortified the terrace ramparts in the City of David. ²⁵ Three times every year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar that he had built to the LORD, burning incense with the offerings in the presence of the Lord. This concludes the record of the Temple construction.
