New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
10So Hiram gave Solomon all that he wished of the cedar and juniper timber. 11Solomon then gave Hiram twenty thousand kors of wheat as food for his household, and twenty kors of pure oil; this is what Solomon would give Hiram year by year. 12And the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon, just as He promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a covenant.
13Now King Solomon conscripted forced laborers from all Israel; and the forced laborers numbered thirty thousand men.
14Then he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month in shifts; they were in Lebanon for a month, and two months at home. And Adoniram was in charge of the forced laborers.
15Now Solomon had seventy thousand porters, and eighty thousand stonemasons in the mountains,
16besides Solomon’s 3,300 chief deputies who were in charge of the project and ruled over the people who were doing the work.
17Then the king issued orders, and they quarried large stones, valuable stones, to lay the foundation of the house with cut stones.
