Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

three thousand: In the parallel passage of Chronicles, it is "three thousand six hundred," which is also the reading of the Septuagint here. 1 Kings 9:23, 2 Chronicles 2:2

Reciprocal: 1 Kings 11:28 - he made 2 Chronicles 8:10 - two hundred

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Besides the chief of Solomon's officers which [were] over the work,.... Over the whole work, preparatory for the building of the temple; though it seems chiefly to have respect to that of hewing the stones, and bringing them to the city:

three thousand and three hundred which ruled over the people that wrought in the work; to keep them to their work, and to see that they performed it well: in 2 Chronicles 2:18; they are said to be 3600, which is three hundred more than here; those three hundred are the chief officers mentioned in the former part of this verse, which were over the whole work, and even over the 3600 overseers, and with them made up the sum of 3600; so Jacob Leon h observes there were 3300 master workmen, and three hundred commanders over them all.

h Relation of Memorable Things in the Temple, ch. 3. p. 14.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Comparing this verse and 1 Kings 9:23 with 2 Chronicles 2:18; 2 Chronicles 8:10, the entire number of the overseers will be seen to be stated by both writers at 3,850; but in the one case nationality, in the other degree of authority, is made the principle of the division.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 5:16. Besides - three thousand and three hundred which ruled over the people — In the parallel place, 2 Chronicles 2:18, it is three thousand six hundred. The Septuagint has here the same number.
