1 Kings 9:20-25 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

20. All of the people who were remaining from the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites who were not of the Israelites,

21. their children who remained after them in the land, whom the Israelites were not able to completely destroy, Solomon conscripted them for forced labor, until this very day.

22. But from the Israelites Solomon did not make a slave, but they were the men of war, his officers, his commanders, his captains, and the commanders of his chariots and his cavalry.

23. These were the commanders of the overseers who were over the work for Solomon, five hundred and fifty, ruling over the people doing the work.

24. As soon as the daughter of Pharaoh went up from the city of David to her house which he built for her, then he built the Millo.

25. Solomon sacrificed three times a year: burnt offerings and fellowship offerings on the altar that he had built to Yahweh, and he offered incense with it before Yahweh; and so he completed the house.
