There were people in the land that were not Israelites. Those people were the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
The Israelites had not been able to destroy those people. But Solomon forced them to work for him as slaves. They are still slaves today.
These are the descendants {\cf2\super [31]} of the servants of Solomon:
I bought men slaves and women slaves. And there were slaves born in my house. I owned many great things. I had herds of cattle and flocks of sheep. I owned more things than any other person in Jerusalem.
