Gill's Notes on the Bible
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 2 Chronicles 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.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
That bare burdens ... - Compare the marginal references. These laborers, whose services were continuous, consisted of “strangers” - “the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites” - whom Solomon, following the example of his father 1 Chronicles 22:2, condemned to slavery, and employed in this way.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 5:15. Threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens — These were all strangers, or proselytes, dwelling among the Israelites; as we learn from the parallel place, 1 Kings 2:17-18.
