1 Reyes 5:15 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 5:15

And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens,
&c.] Seventy thousand to carry the stones from the mountains out of which they were dug, and which were near Jerusalem, to the city; these were strangers in Israel, as were those that follow:

and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains:
eighty thousand that dug the stones out of the quarries, and squared them; these, with the others, made 150,000, see ( 2 Chronicles 2:17 ) ; according to Jacob Leon F7, the number of workmen at the temple for seven years was 163,600, and some make them more.

13 El rey Salomón impuso una leva a todo Israel, y la leva fue de treinta mil hombres.
14 Y los envió al Líbano, en relevos de diez mil cada mes; y se quedaban un mes en el Líbano y dos meses en su casa. Y Adoniram estaba al frente de la leva.
15 Salomón tenía setenta mil hombres que llevaban las cargas, y ochenta mil canteros en las montañas,
16 además de los tres mil trescientos oficiales de Salomón que estaban al frente de la obra y que gobernaban la gente que hacía el trabajo.
17 Entonces el rey dio órdenes, y sacaron grandes piedras, piedras costosas, para echar los cimientos de la casa con piedras labradas.
