1 Kings 5:12-18

12So the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon, just as he had promised. And Hiram and Solomon made a formal alliance of peace.

13Then King Solomon conscripted a labor force of 30,000 men from all Israel.

14He sent them to Lebanon in shifts, 10,000 every month, so that each man would be one month in Lebanon and two months at home. Adoniram was in charge of this labor force.

15Solomon also had 70,000 common laborers, 80,000 quarry workers in the hill country,

16and 3,600 foremen to supervise the work.

17At the king’s command, they quarried large blocks of high-quality stone and shaped them to make the foundation of the Temple.

18Men from the city of Gebal helped Solomon’s and Hiram’s builders prepare the timber and stone for the Temple.
