Easton
(1Ki 4:6, R.V.; 1Ki 5:13), forced service. The service of tributaries was often thus exacted by kings. Solomon raised a "great levy" of 30,000 men, about two per cent. of the population, to work for him by courses on Lebanon. Adoram (1Ki 12:18) presided over this forced labour service (Ger. Frohndienst; Fr. corvee).
