1 Kings 5:14, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Solomon is organizing the workforce for the temple, and this verse shows how the 30,000 conscripted men from Israel were rotated. Rather than keeping them all in Lebanon at once, he sent 10,000 at a time, so each man worked one month away and spent two months at home.
