1 KINGS 9:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the Lord, and the king’s house,”
"But for the people of Israel Solomon made no slaves; they were the soldiers, his officials, his commanders, his captains, and the commanders of his chariots and his horsemen." — The theological principle is affirmed: *Israelites are not enslaved*. Instead, they serve as *warriors* (*anshey ha-milchama*), *officials* (*sarim*), *commanders*, and *military personnel*. Free status is the *birthright of covenant membership*.
