1 Kings 5:13-15

The Voice

¹³ King Solomon assembled forced laborers from all over Israel—30,000 men in all. ¹⁴ He sent them to Lebanon in cycles—10,000 men per month. They stayed in Lebanon for an entire month, then they were able to return home for two months. Adoniram was the head administrator of the workers.

¹⁵ Solomon enlisted 70,000 men to transport the materials and 80,000 stonecutters to quarry, carve, and dress stone from the mountains.
