1 Kings 9:20 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Kings 9:20

18 ^aBaalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land of Judah,

19 all the storage cities that Solomon had, cities for ^ahis chariots and cities for his ^bcavalry, and whatever Solomon ^cdesired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

20 ^aAll the people who were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel—

21 that is, their descendants ^awho were left in the land after them, ^bwhom the children of Israel had not been able to destroy completely—^cfrom these Solomon raised ^dforced labor, as it is to this day.

22 But of the children of Israel Solomon ^amade no forced laborers, because they were men of war and his servants: his officers, his captains, commanders of his chariots, and his cavalry.

23 Others were chiefs of the officials who were over Solomon’s work: ^afive hundred and fifty, who ruled over the people who did the work.
