⁶ Ahishar was controller of the king's house; Adoniram, the son of Abda, was overseer of the forced work.

²⁴ And Adoram was overseer of the forced work; and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the recorder;

¹⁵ Now, this was the way of Solomon's system of forced work for the building of the Lord's house and of the king's house, and the Millo and the wall of Jerusalem and Megiddo and Gezer. ...

¹⁸ Then King Rehoboam sent Adoniram, the overseer of the forced work; and he was stoned to death by all Israel. And King Rehoboam went quickly and got into his carriage to go in flight to Jerusalem.

¹³ Then King Solomon got together men for the forced work through all Israel, thirty thousand men in number;

¹⁴ And sent them to Lebanon in bands of ten thousand every month: for a month they were working in Lebanon and for two months in their country, and Adoniram was in control of them.
