Solomon addressed all Israel, including those who commanded units of a thousand and a hundred, the judges, and all the leaders of all Israel who were heads of families.

You must serve me as your father David did. Do everything I commanded and obey my rules and regulations.

These were their divisions by families: There were a thousand officers from Judah. Adnah the commander led 300,000 skilled warriors,

Jehochanan the commander led 280,000,

He commanded them: "Carry out your duties with respect for the Lord, with honesty, and with pure motives.

They commanded an army of 307,500 skilled and able warriors who were ready to defend the king against his enemies.

I will not make Israel again leave the land I gave to their ancestors, provided that they carefully obey all I commanded them, the whole law, the rules and regulations given to Moses."

Slaughter the Passover lambs, consecrate yourselves, and make preparations for your countrymen to do what the Lord commanded through Moses."
