1 Kings 5:16
5:16 a 3,600 foremen: In 2 Chronicles (2 Chr 2:2 b, 17-18 c; 8:10 d) the foremen total 3,600 non-Israelite and 250 Israelite chief supervisors. The numbers in the Hebrew text of 1 Kgs 5:16 e and 9:23 f are 3,300 foremen and 550 chief supervisors. It is possible that 250 of the chief supervisors were Israelites, with 300 non-Israelites holding the same rank.
