2. Krønikebok 8,9

IsraelSolomon

7 Alle de gjenværende folkene av hetittene, amorittene, perisittene, hevittene og jebusittene, som ikke var av Israel—

8 fra deres etterkommere som var igjen etter dem i landet, som Israels sønner ikke hadde utryddet—Salomo påla dem tvangsarbeid til denne dag.

Men Salomo gjorde ikke slaver av Israels sønner for sitt arbeid; de var krigsmenn, hans hovedkapteiner, hans offiserer, og kommandantene for hans vogner og hans ryttere.

10 Disse var de fremste offiserene til kong Salomo, to hundre og femti som styrte folket.

11 Så førte Salomo faraos datter opp fra Davids by til huset som han hadde bygd for henne, for han sa: "Min kone skal ikke bo i Davids hus, Israels konge, fordi stedene er hellige hvor Herrens ark har kommet inn."
