1 Kings 5:15
"And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains;"

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens,.... Seventy thousand to carry the stones from the mountains out of which they were dug, and which were near Jerusalem,

to the city; these were strangers in Israel, as were those that follow: and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains: eighty thousand that dug the stones out of the quarries, and squared them; these, with the others, made 150,000, see Ch2 2:17 ; according to Jacob Leon (g), the number of workmen at the temple for seven years was 163,600, and some make them more. (g) Relation of Memorable Things in the Temple, ch. 3. p. 14.
