2 Chron. 2:1      2 Chron. 2:3

Second Chronicles 2:2

Therefore Solomon assigned (literally: counted) 70,000 men to be carriers, 80,000 to be stonecutters in the mountains, and 3,600 to be overseers over them.
[The total workforce was 153,600 (70,000 + 80,000 + 3,600), see verses 17-18, which repeat the numbers and also add them up. There were 42-43 people in each group. The number of supervisors in 1 Kings 5:16 is 3,300. In Assyria and Babylon, the workers consisted of slaves recruited during military raids. One report mentions how Ashurbanipal (who ruled Assyria from 884-859 BC) enlisted the help of 50,000 workers to build the capital city of Kalhu.]
