 I Kings 5

Preparations for building the temple

13 And king Solomon brought up a levy out of all Israel: and the levy went up thirty thousand men.
14 And he sent them into Lebanon every month ten thousand in turn: one month they were in Lebanon, and two months each in his house: and Adoniram was over the company.
15 Solomon also had seventy thousand who carried loads, and eighty thousand who cut in the mountains.
16 Besides the chief of Solomon's officers, who were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, who gave orders to the people who did the work.
17 And the king commanded that they bring great stones and precious stones, hewn stones, to found the house.
18 And the builders of Hiram and the Gibites plowed them, and prepared wood and stones to build the house.
