Solomon had seventy thousand porters and eighty thousand stonecutters in the mountains,
so he assigned 70,000 men as porters, 80,000 men as stonecutters in the mountains, and 3,600 as supervisors over them.
They also said, ‘Let them live.’ So the Gibeonites became woodcutters and water-carriers for the whole community, as the leaders had promised them.
