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

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.
25 Tres veces al a帽o Salom贸n presentaba holocaustos y sacrificios de comuni贸n sobre el altar que 茅l hab铆a construido para el SE脩OR, y al mismo tiempo quemaba incienso en su presencia. As铆 cumpl铆a con las obligaciones del templo.
