1 Kings 9:22-24
International Standard Version
22 However, Solomon did not force Israelis into conscripted labor, but they did serve as his soldiers, servants, princes, captains, chariot commanders, and cavalry. 23 There were 550 chief officers who supervised Solomon’s activities and managed the staff that was doing the work.
24 As soon as Pharaoh’s daughter arrived from the City of David to live in her house that Solomon[a] had built for her, then he fortified the terrace ramparts in the City of David.[b]

New International Version
22 But Solomon did not make slaves(A) of any of the Israelites; they were his fighting men, his government officials, his officers, his captains, and the commanders of his chariots and charioteers. 23 They were also the chief officials(B) in charge of Solomon’s projects—550 officials supervising those who did the work.
24 After Pharaoh’s daughter(C) had come up from the City of David to the palace Solomon had built for her, he constructed the terraces.(D)
