Organization of the Temple Workforce

1 Kings 5:13-18

And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.

And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses; a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram was over the men subject to taskwork.

And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand that were hewers in the mountains;

besides Solomon’s chief officers that were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, who bare rule over the people that wrought in the work.

And the king commanded, and they hewed out great stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with wrought stone.

And Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders and the Gebalites did fashion them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.
