21 their sons who were left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel had not been able to devote to destruction—and raised from these Solomon for the forced labor of serving even to this day. 22 And of the sons of Israel Solomon made none forced laborers, because they were men of war, and his servants, and his officers, and his captains, and commanders of his chariots, and his cavalry. 23 These were the chiefs of the officials who were over the work of Solomon, fifty-five hundred who ruled over the people who did the work. 24 However, the daughter of Pharaoh came up from the City of David to her house that he had built for her; then he built the Millo. 25 And Solomon offered three times a year burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar that he had built for YHWH, and he burned incense with them on that which was before the face of YHWH. And he finished the house. 26 And King Solomon built a fleet at Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth on the shore of the Red Sea in the land of Edom. 27 And Hiram sent with the ships his servants, men of ships who knew the sea, with the servants of Solomon. 28 And they went to Ophir and acquired from there gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and they brought it to King Solomon. 1 Kings 9:21-28, Berean Literal Bible.
