Conscription of Laborers
13 Now (A)King Solomon [a]conscripted forced laborers from all Israel; and the forced laborers numbered thirty thousand men. 14 Then he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month in shifts; they were in Lebanon for a month, and two months at home. And (B)Adoniram was in charge of the forced laborers. 15 Now (C)Solomon had seventy thousand porters, and eighty thousand stonemasons in the mountains, 16 (D)besides Solomon’s 3,300 chief deputies who were in charge of the [b]project and ruled over the people who were doing the work.
