1 Kings 9:24 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Kings 9:24

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.

24 But ^aPharaoh’s daughter came up from the City of David to ^bher house which Solomon had built for her. ^cThen he built the Millo.

25 ^aNow three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he had built for the Lord, and he burned incense with them on the altar that was before the Lord. So he finished the temple.

26 ^aKing Solomon also built a fleet of ships at ^bEzion Geber, which is near Elath on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.

27 ^aThen Hiram sent his servants with the fleet, seamen who knew the sea, to work with the servants of Solomon.
