1 Kings 5:12-18

12The Lord gave Solomon wisdom, as he had promised him. There was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty.

13Then King Solomon drafted forced laborers from all Israel; the labor force numbered thirty thousand men.

14He sent ten thousand to Lebanon each month in shifts; one month they were in Lebanon, two months they were at home. Adoniram was in charge of the forced labor.

15Solomon had seventy thousand porters and eighty thousand stonecutters in the mountains,

16not including his thirty-three hundred deputies in charge of the work. They supervised the people doing the work.

17The king commanded them to quarry large, costly stones to lay the foundation of the temple with dressed stones.

18So Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders, along with the Gebalites, quarried the stone and prepared the timber and stone for the temple’s construction.
