1 Kings 9:20-28 Amplified Bible (AMP)

20. As for all the people who were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, who were not Israelites,

21. Their children who were left after them in the land, whom the Israelites were not able utterly to destroy, of them Solomon made a forced levy of slaves to this day.

22. But Solomon made no slaves of the Israelites; they were the soldiers, his officials, attendants, commanders, captains, chariot officers, and horsemen.

23. These were the chief officers over Solomon's work, 550 who had charge of the people who did the work.

24. But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the City of David to her house which Solomon had built for her; then he built the Millo.

25. Three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar he built to the Lord, and he burned incense with them before the Lord. So he finished the house.

26. And King Solomon made a fleet of ships in Ezion-geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in Edom.

27. And Hiram sent with the fleet his servants, shipmen who had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.

28. They came to Ophir and got 420 talents of gold and brought it to King Solomon.
