1 Kings 9:21 in Context — 1 Kings 9
19 toutes les villes servant de magasins et lui appartenant, les villes pour les chars, les villes pour la cavalerie, et tout ce qu’il plut à Salomon de bâtir à Jérusalem, au Liban, et dans tout le pays dont il était le souverain.
20 Tout le peuple qui était resté des Amoréens, des Héthiens, des Phéréziens, des Héviens et des Jébusiens, ne faisant point partie des enfants d’Israël,
21 leurs descendants qui étaient restés après eux dans le pays et que les enfants d’Israël n’avaient pu dévouer par interdit, Salomon les leva comme esclaves de corvée, ce qu’ils ont été jusqu’à ce jour.
22 Mais Salomon n’employa point comme esclaves les enfants d’Israël; car ils étaient des hommes de guerre, ses serviteurs, ses chefs, ses officiers, les commandants de ses chars et de sa cavalerie.
23 Les chefs préposés par Salomon sur les travaux étaient au nombre de cinq cent cinquante, chargés de surveiller les ouvriers.
