1 Kings 5:10-16

¹⁰So Hiram arranged for his workers to supply all the cedar and cypress logs that Solomon wanted.

¹¹Each year Solomon gave Hiram 100,000 bushels of wheat and 110,000 gallons of pure olive oil to feed the people who worked in his palace.

¹²Yahweh enabled Solomon to be wise, just like he had promised. Solomon and Hiram made a treaty/agreement that there would be peace between their two governments/countries.

¹³King Solomon forced 30,000 men from all over Israel to become his workers.

¹⁴Adoniram was their boss. Solomon divided the men into three groups. Each month 10,000 of them went to Lebanon and worked for a month there, and then they came back home for two months.

¹⁵Solomon also forced 80,000 men to cut stones in the hilly area and 70,000 men to haul the stones to Jerusalem.

¹⁶And he also assigned 3,600 men to supervise their work.
