1 Kings 5 Preparations for Building the Temple

Hiram, King of Tyre supplies Solomon with timber for building the temple of God in exchange for food. Solomon agrees and drafts 30,000 men as laborers 4 months a year for 7 years, and also puts 150,000 foreigners to work as slaves. The slaves were descendants of Israel's former enemies: the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. God had commanded Israel to completely drive out these peoples from the land but the Israelites failed to do so.
