1 Kings 9:23 in Context — 1 Kings 9
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.
24 La fille de Pharaon monta de la cité de David dans sa maison que Salomon lui avait construite. Ce fut alors qu’il bâtit Millo.
25 Salomon offrit trois fois dans l’année des holocaustes et des sacrifices d’actions de grâces sur l’autel qu’il avait bâti à l’Éternel, et il brûla des parfums sur celui qui était devant l’Éternel. Et il acheva la maison.
