SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:17
Y contó Salomón todos los varones extranjeros que estaban en la tierra de Israel, después de haberlos ya contado David su padre, y fueron hallados ciento cincuenta y tres mil seiscientos.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 17. And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel , etc.] Which, according to Kimchi, were the remains of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, and Jebusites, (see 2 Chronicles 8:8), yet not idolaters, or they would not have been suffered by David and Solomon to have dwelt in the land, but were such as were become proselytes of the gate: after the numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them ; not at the time Israel was numbered by him, but in order to provide workmen for the building of the temple, ( 1 Chronicles 22:2), and they were found an hundred and fifty thousand and six hundred ; men able to bear burdens, and hew timber.
Matthew Henry Commentary
The building of the temple. --There is a more particular account of the building of the temple in 1Ki 6. It must be in the place David had prepared, not only which he had purchased, but which he had fixed on by Divine direction.
