But of the Israelites Solomon made no slaves for his work; but they were men of war, chiefs of his captains, and captains of his chariots and horsemen.
These were the chiefs of King Solomon's officers, 250 in authority over the people.
But descendants of those who were left in the land, whom the Israelites had not destroyed–of them Solomon made a levy for forced labor to this day.
But the Jerusalem above (the Messianic kingdom of Christ) is free, and she is our mother.
So, brethren, we [who are born again] are not children of a slave woman [the natural], but of the free [the supernatural].
