1 Kings 5:13-18

13 And king Solomon lifteth up a tribute out of all Israel, and the tribute is thirty thousand men, 14 and he sendeth them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month, by changes, a month they are in Lebanon, two months in their own house; and Adoniram is over the tribute. 15 And king Solomon hath seventy thousand bearing burdens, and eighty thousand hewing in the mountain, 16 apart from the heads of the officers of Solomon, who are over the work, three thousand and three hundred, those ruling over the people who are working in the business. 17 And the king commandeth, and they bring great stones, precious stone, to lay the foundation of the house, hewn stones; 18 and the builders of Solomon, and the builders of Hiram, and the Giblites hew, and prepare the wood and the stones to build the house.

2 Chronicles 2:17-18

17 And Solomon numbereth all the men, the sojourners who are in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his father numbered them, and they are found a hundred and fifty thousand, and three thousand, and six hundred; 18 and he maketh of them seventy thousand burden-bearers, and eighty thousand hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers, to cause the people to work.
