15 And Shelomoh had seventy thousand bearing burdens, and eighty thousand hewing stone in the mountains,
16 besides three thousand three hundred from the chiefs of Shelomoh’s deputies who were over the work, those ruling over the people who laboured in the work.
17 And the sovereign commanded, and they brought large stones, precious stones, to lay the foundation of the House with hewn stones.
18 And Shelomoh’s builders, and Ḥiram’s builders, and the men of Geḇal did hew, and prepared timber and stones to build the House.
