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

¹³ And king Solomon raised forced labor out of all Israel; and the forced labor was thirty thousand men. ¹⁴ And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by shifts: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram was over the forced labor. ¹⁵ And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bore burdens, and fourscore thousand quarried stone in the mountains; ¹⁶ Besides the chief of Solomon's officers who were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, who ruled over the people that labored in the work. ¹⁷ And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewn stones, to lay the foundation of the house. ¹⁸ And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did hew them, and the men of Gebal: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house.

¹⁷ And Solomon numbered all the sojourners that were in the land of Israel, according to the census by which David his father had numbered them; and there were found a hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred. ¹⁸ And he set threescore and ten thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and fourscore thousand to quarry in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to make the people work.
