1 Kings 5:13-16

13And king Solomon raised forced labour out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.1 14And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram was over the forced labour. 15And Solomon had seventy thousand that bore burdens, and eighty thousand hewers in the mountains; 16Besides the chief of Solomon’s officers who were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, who ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
