1 Kings 5:10-18

[10] So Hiram  gave  Solomon  cedar  trees  and fir  trees  according to all his desire.  [11] And Solomon  gave  Hiram  twenty  thousand  measures  of wheat  for food  to his household,  and twenty  measures  of pure  oil:  thus gave  Solomon  to Hiram  year  [12] And the LORD  gave  Solomon  wisdom,  as he promised  him: and there was peace  between Hiram  and Solomon;  made  a league  together.  [13] And king  Solomon  raised  a levy  out of all Israel;  and the levy  was thirty  thousand  men.  [14] 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 levy.  [15] And Solomon  had threescore and ten  thousand  that bare  burdens,  and fourscore  thousand  hewers  in the mountains;  [16] Beside the chief  of Solomon's  officers  which were over the work,  three  thousand  and three  hundred,  which ruled  over the people  that wrought  in the work.  [17] And the king  commanded,  and they brought  great  stones,  costly  stones,  and hewed  stones,  to lay the foundation  of the house.  [18] And Solomon's  builders  and Hiram's  builders  did hew  them, and the stonesquarers:  so they prepared  timber  and stones  to build  the house.
