They would be a month in Lebanon and two months at home. ^sAdoniram was in charge of the draft. 15 Solomon also ^thad 70,000 burden-bearers and 80,000 stonecutters in the hill country, 16 besides Solomon’s 3,300 ^uchief officers who were over the work, ^vwho had charge of the people who carried on the work. 17 At the king’s command ^wthey quarried out great, costly stones in order to lay the foundation of the house with dressed stones. 18 So Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders and ^xthe men of Gebal did the cutting and prepared the timber and the stone to build the house.
