Aber von den Kindern Israel machte Salomo nicht Knechte zu seiner Arbeit; sondern sie waren Kriegsleute und Oberste über seine Ritter und über seine Wagen und Reiter.
Y de los hijos de Israel no puso Salomón siervos en su obra; porque eran hombres de guerra, y sus príncipes y sus capitanes, y comandantes de sus carros, y su gente de a caballo.
Salomon n'employa comme esclave pour ses travaux aucun des enfants d'Israël; car ils étaient des hommes de guerre, ses chefs, ses officiers, les commandants de ses chars et de sa cavalerie.
Ma d’infra i figliuoli d’Israele, i quali Salomone non fece servi, per lavorare a’ suoi lavori perciocchè essi erano uomini di guerra, e colonnelli de’ suoi capitani, e capi de’ suoi carri, e della sua cavalleria;
Porém, dos filhos de Israel, Salomão não fez servos para sua obra (mas eram homens de guerra, chefes dos seus capitães, e capitães dos seus carros e cavaleiros),
惟有 以色列 人, 所羅門 不使他們當奴僕做工,而是作他的戰士、軍官、戰車長、騎兵長。
