20. All the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the people of Israel—
21. their descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the people of Israel were unable to devote to destruction—these Solomon drafted to be slaves, and so they are to this day.
22. 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.
23. These were the chief officers who were over Solomon’s work: 550 who had charge of the people who carried on the work.
24. But Pharaoh’s daughter went up from the city of David to her own house that Solomon had built for her. Then he built the Millo.
25. Three times a year Solomon used to offer up burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar that he built to the Lord, making offerings with it before the Lord. So he finished the house.
26. King Solomon built a fleet of ships 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 fleet his servants, seamen who were familiar with the sea, together with the servants of Solomon.
28. And they went to Ophir and brought from there gold, 420 talents, and they brought it to King Solomon.
