1 Reyes 9:23 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 9:23

These were the chief of the officers over Solomon's work
In building the above houses and cities:

five hundred and fifty which bore rule over the people that wrought
in the work;
in ( 2 Chronicles 8:10 ) they are said to be but two hundred and fifty; now it may be observed, as is by the Jewish writers, that there were three sorts of those rulers; the lowest rank and order of them consisted of 3300, the next of three hundred which were over the 3300, and being numbered with them made 3600, ( 2 Chronicles 2:18 ) and the highest rank of them were two hundred and fifty, and the middlemost and highest being joined together, as they are here, made five hundred and fifty. Abarbinel reconciles the places thus, the two hundred and fifty were only over those that wrought in the temple; and the five hundred and fifty here were those that were over such that were employed in the various parts of the kingdom.

1 Reyes 9:23 In-Context

21 es decir, a sus descendientes que hab铆an quedado en la tierra despu茅s de ellos, a quienes los hijos de Israel no hab铆an podido destruir completamente, Salom贸n les impuso leva de servidumbre hasta el d铆a de hoy.
22 Mas de los hijos de Israel Salom贸n no hizo esclavos, porque ellos eran hombres de guerra, sus servidores, sus pr铆ncipes, sus capitanes, los comandantes de sus carros y sus hombres de a caballo.
23 Estos eran los oficiales que estaban al frente de la obra de Salom贸n, quinientos cincuenta, quienes supervisaban al pueblo que hac铆a la obra.
24 Tan pronto como la hija de Fara贸n subi贸 de la ciudad de David a la casa que le hab铆a construido Salom贸n, entonces 茅l edific贸 el Milo.
25 Y tres veces al a帽o Salom贸n ofrec铆a holocaustos y ofrendas de paz sobre el altar que 茅l hab铆a edificado al SE脩OR, quemando incienso al mismo tiempo sobre el altar que estaba delante del SE脩OR despu茅s que termin贸 la casa.
