But Solomon didn’t force any of the Israelites to work as his slaves. Instead, some were his fighting men. Others were his government officials, his officers and his captains. Others were commanders of his chariots and chariot drivers.

But of the people of Israel Solomon made no slaves. They were the soldiers, they were his officials, his commanders, his captains, his chariot commanders and his horsemen.

But Solomon did not conscript any of the Israelites for forced labor. Instead, he assigned them to serve as fighting men, government officials, officers and captains in his army, commanders of his chariots, and charioteers.

But Solomon did not consign the Israelites to slavery; they were soldiers, his servants, his commanders, his captains, and commanders of his chariots and his cavalry.

But of the children of Israel Solomon made no forced laborers, because they were men of war and his servants: his officers, his captains, commanders of his chariots, and his cavalry.

But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondservants; but they were the men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.

“‘ If any of your fellow Israelites become poor and sell themselves to you, do not make them work as slaves.

He said,“ This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots.Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.

So King Solomon ruled over all Israel.And these were his chief officials: Azariah son of Zadok— the priest;Elihoreph and Ahijah, sons of Shisha— secretaries; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud— recorder;Benaiah son of Jehoiada— commander in chief; Zadok and Abiathar— priests;Azariah son of Nathan— in charge of the district governors; Zabud son of Nathan— a priest and adviser to the king;Ahishar— palace administrator; Adoniram son of Abda— in charge of forced labor.Solomon had twelve district governors over all Israel, who supplied provisions for the king and the royal household. Each one had to provide supplies for one month in the year.These are their names: Ben-Hur— in the hill country of Ephraim;Ben-Deker— in Makaz, Shaalbim, Beth Shemesh and Elon Bethhanan;Ben-Hesed— in Arubboth( Sokoh and all the land of Hepher were his);Ben-Abinadab— in Naphoth Dor( he was married to Taphath daughter of Solomon);Baana son of Ahilud— in Taanach and Megiddo, and in all of Beth Shan next to Zarethan below Jezreel, from Beth Shan to Abel Meholah across to Jokmeam;Ben-Geber— in Ramoth Gilead( the settlements of Jair son of Manasseh in Gilead were his, as well as the region of Argob in Bashan and its sixty large walled cities with bronze gate bars);Ahinadab son of Iddo— in Mahanaim;Ahimaaz— in Naphtali( he had married Basemath daughter of Solomon);Baana son of Hushai— in Asher and in Aloth;Jehoshaphat son of Paruah— in Issachar;Shimei son of Ela— in Benjamin;Geber son of Uri— in Gilead( the country of Sihon king of the Amorites and the country of Og king of Bashan). He was the only governor over the district.The people of Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand on the seashore; they ate, they drank and they were happy.And Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt. These countries brought tribute and were Solomon’s subjects all his life.Solomon’s daily provisions were thirty cors of the finest flour and sixty cors of meal,ten head of stall-fed cattle, twenty of pasture-fed cattle and a hundred sheep and goats, as well as deer, gazelles, roebucks and choice fowl.For he ruled over all the kingdoms west of the Euphrates River, from Tiphsah to Gaza, and had peace on all sides.During Solomon’s lifetime Judah and Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, lived in safety, everyone under their own vine and under their own fig tree.Solomon had four thousand stalls for chariot horses, and twelve thousand horses.The district governors, each in his month, supplied provisions for King Solomon and all who came to the king’s table. They saw to it that nothing was lacking.

But Solomon did not make slaves of the Israelites for his work; they were his fighting men, commanders of his captains, and commanders of his chariots and charioteers.They were also King Solomon’s chief officials— two hundred and fifty officials supervising the men.
