New Testament

2 Chronicles 8:7-11 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

7. All the people who were left of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites who were not Israelites—

8. those of their descendants who were left in the land and whom the Israelites had not destroyed—Solomon conscripted as forced laborers, as they are to this day.

9. But Solomon made none of the Israelites forced laborers for his works, for they were his fighting force, commanders, adjutants, chariot officers, and cavalry.

10. They were also King Solomon’s two hundred and fifty overseers who directed the people.

11. Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the house which he had built for her, for he said, “No wife of mine shall dwell in the house of David, king of Israel, for the places where the ark of the Lord has come are holy.”
