- three thousand:
- In the parallel passage of Chronicles, it is "three thousand six hundred," which is also the reading of the Septuagint here. "These¹ [were] the chiefª of the officersª° that¹ [were] over¹ Solomon'sª work,ª fiveª hundredª and fifty,ª which bare ruleª° over the peopleª that wroughtª° in the work.ª" {1Kg 9:23} + "And Solomonª told outª° threescore and tenª thousandª menª to bear burdens,ª and fourscoreª thousandªª to hewª° in the mountain,ª and threeª thousandª and sixª hundredª to overseeª°¹ them." {2Ch 2:2}
