2 Chronicles 8:7-9
Names of God Bible
7 The Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites had been left in the land because the Israelites had not been able to destroy them.[a] They were not Israelites, 8 but they had descendants who were still in the land. Solomon drafted them for slave labor. (They are still slaves today.) 9 But Solomon didn’t make any of the Israelites slaves for his projects. Instead, they were the soldiers, officers, generals, and commanders of his chariot and cavalry units.
