2Ch 2:18 | MHM | STEP | v. 18 : Solomon assigned 150,000 of these foreigners to work on the temple—some as laborers, some as stone cutters, and some as overseers (2 Chronicles 2:18 ). The land of Canaan was fruitful enough to support these many workers, and the huge size of the temple project gave jobs to all. Organizing the work in the forests, before assembling it in Jerusalem, made it possible for so many to be involved at once.
