12. And the Lord gave Solomon wisdom as he promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two made a covenant together.

13. And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel, and the levy was thirty thousand men,

14. whom he sent to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses; they were a month in Lebanon and two months at home; and Adoniram was over the levy.

15. And Solomon had seventy thousand that bore burdens and eighty thousand hewers in the mountains;

16. besides Solomon’s chief officers who were over the work, there were three thousand three hundred who ruled over the people that did the work.

17. And the king commanded that they bring great stones, costly stones, for the foundation of the house, and hewed stones.

18. And Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders hewed them, and the stonesquarers; so they prepared timber and stones to build the house.
