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

¹³ And King Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel. And the labor force was thirty thousand men. ¹⁴ And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month, by courses. They were a month in Lebanon, and two months at home. And Adoniram was over the labor force. ¹⁵ And Solomon had seventy thousand who bore burdens, and eighty thousand woodcutters in the mountains, ¹⁶ besides the chief of Solomon's overseers who were over the work, thirty-three hundred, who ruled over the people who labored in the work. ¹⁷ And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, cut stones, to lay the foundation of the house. ¹⁸ And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Giblites cut out and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.

¹⁷ And Solomon numbered all the aliens in the land of Israel, according to the numbering with which David his father had numbered them. And they were found to be a hundred and fifty-three thousand and six hundred. ¹⁸ And he set seventy thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and eighty thousand to be cutters in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people to work.
