22But Solomon did not put the children of Israel to forced work; they were the men of war, his servants, his captains, and his chiefs, captains of his war-carriages and of his horsemen.
23These were the chiefs of the overseers of Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, in authority over the people who did the work.
24At that time Solomon made Pharaoh's daughter come up from the town of David to the house which he had made for her: then he made the Millo.
25Three times in the year it was Solomon's way to give burned offerings and peace-offerings on the altar he had made to the Lord, causing his fire-offering to go up on the altar before the Lord.
26And King Solomon made a sea-force of ships in Ezion-geber, by Eloth, on the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.
27Hiram sent his servants, who were experienced seamen, in the sea-force with Solomon's men.
28And they came to Ophir, where they got four hundred and twenty talents of gold, and took it back to King Solomon.
