1 Kings 9:21-23

International Standard Version

²¹ and whose descendants had survived them and continued to live in the land because the Israelis were unable to completely eliminate them, Solomon placed under conscripted labor, a situation that remains in effect to this day. ²² However, Solomon did not force Israelis into conscripted labor, but they did serve as his soldiers, servants, princes, captains, chariot commanders, and cavalry. ²³ There were 550 chief officers who supervised Solomon’s activities and managed the staff that was doing the work.
