20As for all the peopleH5971 that were leftH3498 of the AmoritesH567, the HittitesH2850, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children of IsraelH3478; 21their children that were leftH3498 after them in the landH776, whom the children of IsraelH3478 were not ableH3201 utterly to destroyH2763, of them did SolomonH8010 raise a levy of bondservants unto this dayH3117. 22But of the children of IsraelH3478 did SolomonH8010 makeH5414 no bondservants; but they were the menH376 of warH4421, and his servantsH5650, and his princesH8269, and his captains, and rulers of his chariotsH7393 and of his horsemenH6571.

23These were the chiefH8269 officers that were over Solomon’s workH4399, fiveH2568 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572, who bare ruleH7287 over the peopleH5971 that wrought in the workH4399.
