1 Kings 5:12-18
-
12 And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.
-
13 And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
-
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.
-
15 And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains;
-
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.
-
17 And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
-
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.
