1 Kings 5:10-18

10So 1Hiram 2gave Solomon all that he wished of the cedar and juniper timber. 113Solomon then gave 4Hiram 5twenty thousand kors of wheat as food for his household, and 6twenty kors of pure oil; this is what Solomon would give Hiram year by year. 12And 7the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon, just as He 8promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a covenant.

13Now 9King Solomon 10conscripted forced laborers from all Israel; and the forced laborers numbered thirty thousand men. 14Then he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month in shifts; they were in Lebanon for a month, and two months at home. And 11Adoniram was in charge of the forced laborers. 15Now 12Solomon had seventy thousand porters, and eighty thousand stonemasons in the mountains, 1613besides Solomon’s 3,300 chief deputies who were in charge of the 14project and ruled over the people who were doing the work. 17Then 15the king issued orders, and they quarried large stones, valuable stones, to lay the foundation of the house with cut stones. 18So Solomon’s builders and 16Hiram’s builders and 17the Gebalites 18cut the stones, and they prepared the timbers and the stones to build the house.
