1 Kings 5:13-16
13King Solomon levied forced laborers from all Israel; and the forced laborers numbered 30,000 men.
14He sent them to Lebanon, 10,000 a month in shifts; one month they were in Lebanon and two months at home. Adoniram was in charge of the forced laborers.
15Solomon had 70,000 burden bearers (transporters) and 80,000 stonemasons in the hill country [of Judah],
16besides Solomon’s 3,300 chief deputies who were in charge of the project and who were in charge of the people doing the work.
