Solomon's Servants:
(CHILDREN OF). (Ezra 2:55; 2:58; Nehemiah 7:57; 7:60). The persons thus named appear in the lists of the exiles who returned from the captivity. They were the descendants of the Canaanites who were reduced by Solomon to the helot state, and compelled to labor in the king's stone‐quarries and in building his palaces and cities (1 Kings 5:13-14; 9:20-21; 2 Chronicles 8:7-8). They appear to have formed a distinct order, inheriting probably the same functions and the same skill as their ancestors.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
