1 Reyes 9:22 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 9:22

But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen,
&c.] For that was contrary to the law; they might be hired servants, but not bond servants, ( Leviticus 25:39 Leviticus 25:40 )

but they were men of war;
which he kept in pay, a standing army, maintained even in time of peace, in case of necessity, should an enemy attempt to invade or surprise them:

and his servants;
in his family and court, who had offices and employments there:

and his princes;
ministers of state, counsellors, governors of cities, &c.

and his captains;
officers in his army:

and rulers of his chariots and his horsemen;
war chariots and troopers; see ( 1 Kings 9:19 ) .

1 Reyes 9:22 In-Context

20 A los descendientes de los pueblos no israelitas (es decir, a los amorreos, hititas, ferezeos, heveos y jebuseos, pueblos que quedaron en el pa铆s porque los israelitas no pudieron destruirlos), Salom贸n los someti贸 a trabajos forzados, y as铆 contin煤an hasta el d铆a de hoy.
22 Pero a los israelitas Salom贸n no los convirti贸 en esclavos, sino que le serv铆an como soldados, ministros, comandantes, oficiales de carros de combate y jefes de caballer铆a.
23 Salom贸n ten铆a adem谩s quinientos cincuenta capataces que supervisaban a sus trabajadores en la obra.
24 Los terraplenes se hicieron despu茅s de que la hija del fara贸n se traslad贸 de la Ciudad de David al palacio que Salom贸n le hab铆a construido.
