2 Chronicles 8:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ But Solomon didn’t force the Israelites to work as his slaves. Instead, some were his fighting men. Others were commanders of his captains, chariots and chariot drivers. ¹⁰ Still others were King Solomon’s chief officials. There were 250 officials in charge of the other men.

¹¹ Solomon brought Pharaoh’s daughter up from the City of David to the palace he had built for her. Solomon said, “My wife must not live in the palace of David, who was the king of Israel. It’s one of the places the ark of the Lord has entered. That makes it holy.”
