1 Kings 9:21-23
1599 Geneva Bible
21 To wit, their children that were left after them in the land whom the children of Israel were not able to destroy, those did Solomon make tributaries unto this day
22 But of the children of Israel did Solomon (A)make no bondmen: but they were men of war and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots and his horsemen.
23 These were the princes of the officers, that were over Solomon’s work: even [a]five hundred and fifty, and they ruled the people that wrought in the work.
