15 ^aSolomon had seventy thousand who carried burdens, and eighty thousand who quarried stone in the mountains,

16 besides three thousand¹ three hundred from the ^achiefs of Solomon’s deputies, who supervised the people who labored in the work.

17 And the king commanded them to quarry large stones, costly stones, and ^ahewn stones, to lay the foundation of the¹ temple.

18 So Solomon’s builders, Hiram’s builders, and the Gebalites quarried them; and they prepared timber and stones to build the¹ temple.
