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

¹³ And king Solomon raised a tribute throughout all Israel. And the tribute was thirty thousand men, ¹⁴ which he sent to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by course, so that they were one month in Lebanon and two months at home. And Adoniram was over the tribute. ¹⁵ And Solomon had three score and ten thousand that bare burdens, and three score and ten thousand that hewed in the mountains ¹⁶ besides the lords he had to oversee the work, in number three thousand and three hundred, which ruled the people that wrought in the work. ¹⁷ And at the commandment of the king, they brought great stones, and that free stones, and hewed thereto, to lay in the foundation of the house. ¹⁸ And Solomon's masons and the masons of Hiram did hew them, with them of the borders. And so they prepared both in timber and stone to build the house.

¹⁷ And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the time his father David had numbered them. And they were found a hundred and eighty thousand and six hundred. ¹⁸ And he set eighty thousand of them to bear burdens, and eighty thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred to courage and to set the people a work.
