1 Rois 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.

15 Salomon eut aussi soixante et dix mille hommes qui portaient les fardeaux, et quatre-vingt mille qui taillaient dans la montagne;
16 Outre les chefs préposés par Salomon, qui avaient la direction de l'ouvrage, au nombre de trois mille trois cents, et qui commandaient le peuple qui travaillait.
17 Et le roi commanda d'extraire de grandes pierres, des pierres de prix, pour faire de pierres de taille les fondements de la maison.
