8:7 至於國中所剩下不屬以色列人的赫人、亞摩利人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人,
8:8 就是以色列人未曾滅絕的,所羅門挑取他們的後裔作服苦的奴僕,直到今日。
8:9 惟有以色列人,所羅門不使他們當奴僕做工,乃是作他的戰士、軍長的統領、車兵長、馬兵長。
8:10 所羅門王有二百五十督工的,監管工人。
7 There were still people left from the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites (these people were not Israelites). 8 Solomon conscripted the descendants of all these people remaining in the land—whom the Israelites had not destroyed—to serve as slave labor, as it is to this day. 9 But Solomon did not make slaves of the Israelites for his work; they were his fighting men, commanders of his captains, and commanders of his chariots and charioteers. 10 They were also King Solomon’s chief officials—two hundred and fifty officials supervising the men.

所羅門原則上還是優待以色列人,使以色列人作他的戰士、軍長的統領、車兵長、馬兵長,不使他們當奴僕做工。
從前的迦南人:赫人、亞摩利人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人,就是以色列人未曾滅絕的,所羅門挑取他們的後裔作服苦的奴僕。
