A greater number, 3300, is spoken of in chap. 1Ki 5:16<\/span>, and it may be that while the works in Lebanon, and at the Temple and the king’s house, were in progress, the larger number of chief officers was engaged in the supervision; but afterwards, for the ordinary fortification and pleasaunce-building, the smaller number was found sufficient. In 2Ch 8:11<\/span>, two hundred and fifty is given as the number of these officials. Kennicott explains this variation by the reading of one letter for another in the Hebrew system of indicating numbers by the letters of the alphabet.<\/p>\n Five hundred and fifty – <\/B>See 1Ki 5:16<\/span> note.<\/P><\/p>\n Object.<\/B> They were only two hundred and fifty in 2Ch 8:10<\/span>. <\/P> Answ.<\/B> First, Those might be officers of another sort; for they are not said to be over the work<\/I>, as these are, but only over the people. Secondly, The two hundred and fifty were Israelites, who are therefore distinctly mentioned in that book, where many things are more exactly noted than in the former; and the other three hundred were strangers, who therefore are neglected in that more accurate account. Or, thirdly, There was but two hundred and fifty at one time, which is noted there, and two hundred and fifty at another time, (for it is apparent they did their work by turns,) and the other fifty either were superior to all the rest, or rather were a reserve to supply the place of any of the five hundred when there was occasion, which might frequently happen. And so this was an act not unbecoming Solomons wisdom, to make provision for emergencies. <\/P> <\/p>\n 23.

In building the above houses and cities:<\/p>\n five hundred and fifty which bore rule over the people that wrought in the work<\/strong>; in 2Ch 8:10<\/span> they are said to be but two hundred and fifty; now it may be observed, as is by the Jewish writers, that there were three sorts of those rulers; the lowest rank and order of them consisted of 3300, the next of three hundred which were over the 3300, and being numbered with them made 3600, 2Ch 2:18<\/span> and the highest rank of them were two hundred and fifty, and the middlemost and highest being joined together, as they are here, made five hundred and fifty. Abarbinel reconciles the places thus, the two hundred and fifty were only over those that wrought in the temple; and the five hundred and fifty here were those that were over such that were employed in the various parts of the kingdom.<\/p>\n (23) Five hundred and fifty.<\/strong>In 1Ki. 5:16<\/span> we read of just six times as many officers as those here mentioned over the workers for the Temple. But in that passage there would seem to be reference to the special levy then raised; here the description is apparently of a regularly established system.<\/p>\n 23<\/strong>. <\/strong> Five hundred and fifty <\/strong> See note on 1Ki 5:16<\/span>.<\/p>\n 1Ki 9:23 These [were] the chief of the officers that [were] over Solomon’s work, five hundred and fifty, which bare rule over the people that wrought in the work.<\/p>\n Ver. 23.
