1 Re 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 Salomone aveva inoltre settantamila uomini che portavano i pesi, e ottantamila scalpellini sui monti,
16 senza contare i capi, in numero di tremila trecento, preposti da Salomone ai lavori, e incaricati di dirigere gli operai.
17 Il re comandò che si scavassero delle pietre grandi, delle pietre di pregio, per fare i fondamenti della casa con pietre da taglio.
