1. Kongebok 9,22

IsraelSolomon

20 Når det gjelder folket som ble igjen av amorittene, hetittene, perisittene, hivittene og jebusittene, som ikke var av Israels barn,

21 deres etterkommere som ble igjen etter dem i landet, som Israels barn ikke var i stand til å fullstendig utrydde, påla Salomo tvangsarbeid på dem til denne dag.

Men Salomo gjorde ikke slaver av Israels barn; de var krigsmenn, hans tjenere, hans kommandører, hans kapteiner, vognkommandører og hans ryttere.

23 Dette var de øverste offiserene som var over Salomos arbeid, fem hundre og femti i antall, som overvåket folket som gjorde arbeidet.

24 Da faraos datter kom opp fra Davids by til sitt hus som Salomo hadde bygget for henne, bygde han deretter Millo.
