2 Chronicles 8:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ They were descendants of the ·people [nations] that the Israelites had not destroyed. Solomon ·forced [conscripted] them to be ·slave workers [forced labor], as is still true today. ⁹ But Solomon did not ·make slaves of [impose forced labor on] the Israelites. They were his soldiers, ·chief captains [officers], commanders of his chariots, and his ·chariot drivers [or cavalry]. ¹⁰ These were his most important officers. There were two hundred fifty of them to ·direct [supervise; be in charge of] the people.
