21 the descendants of those who were left in the land and whom the people of Israel were not able to utterly destroy, were conscripted by Solomon for slave labor to this day.
22 But Solomon did not make any children of Israel into slaves, but instead used them as men of war, as his servants, his leaders, his captains, rulers of his chariots, and his horsemen.
23 These were the chief officers over Solomon’s work, five hundred and fifty, who ruled over the people who did the labor.
24 But Pharaoh’s daughter moved out of the City of David to her house which Solomon had built for her, and he then built Millo.
25 Three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar that he built to the Lord, and he burned incense on the altar that was before the Lord. So he finished the house.
26 King Solomon built a fleet of ships in Ezion Geber, which is beside Elath on the shore of the Red Sea in the land of Edom.
27 Hiram sent shipmen who had knowledge of the sea to serve alongside Solomon’s men.
