Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

1 Kings 5
¹³ Then King Solomon raised up a labor force out of all Israel; and the labor force was thirty thousand men.
¹⁴ And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month in shifts: they were one month in Lebanon and two months at home; Adoniram was in charge of the labor force.
¹⁵ Solomon had seventy thousand who carried burdens, and eighty thousand who quarried stone in the mountains,
¹⁶ besides three thousand three hundred from the chiefs of Solomon’s deputies, who supervised the people who labored in the work.
¹⁷ And the king commanded them to quarry large stones, costly stones, and hewn stones, to lay the foundation of the temple.
¹⁸ So Solomon’s builders, Hiram’s builders, and the Gebalites quarried them; and they prepared timber and stones to build the temple.
1 Kings 6
¹ And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the Lord.
² Now the house which King Solomon built for the Lord, its length was sixty cubits, its width twenty, and its height thirty cubits.
³ The vestibule in front of the sanctuary of the house was twenty cubits long across the width of the house, and the width of the vestibule extended ten cubits from the front of the house.
⁴ And he made for the house windows with beveled frames.
⁵ Against the wall of the temple he built chambers all around, against the walls of the temple, all around the sanctuary and the inner sanctuary. Thus he made side chambers all around it.
