But from the Israelites Solomon did not make servants for his work. These were his soldiers, officers, commanders of his chariots, and horsemen.
And these were the two hundred and fifty chief officers for King Solomon who governed the people.
and from their descendants who remained from these peoples in the land and whom the Israelites did not finish destroying, Solomon brought them up to be forced labor, even to this day.
But the Jerusalem which is above is free, which is our mother.
So then, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.
