2 Chronicles 2:17-18

The Voice

¹⁷ In preparation for the building projects, Solomon ordered a census to count only the foreigners residing in Israel. This census differed from his father’s census, which counted everyone in the nation. There were 153,600 foreigners living in Israel: ¹⁸ 80,000 men would quarry stone in the mountains, 70,000 men would carry it, and 3,600^[a] men would supervise their work.
