1 Kings 5:13-18
Solomon’s Labor Force

13 And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.

13:

14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, [and] two months at home: and Adoniram [was] over the levy.

14:

15 And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains;

15:

16 Beside the chief of Solomon’s officers which [were] over the work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought in the work.

16:

17 And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, [and] hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.

17:

18 And Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders did hew [them], and the stonesquarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house.
