וַֽיהֹוָה נָתַן חׇכְמָה לִשְׁלֹמֹה כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר־לוֹ וַיְהִי שָׁלֹם בֵּין חִירָם וּבֵין שְׁלֹמֹה וַיִּכְרְתוּ בְרִית שְׁנֵיהֶֽם׃
Adonoy gave wisdom to Shlomo as He had told him. And there was peace between Chirom and Shlomo. A covenant was confirmed by the two of them.

וַיַּעַל הַמֶּלֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹה מַס מִכׇּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיְהִי הַמַּס שְׁלֹשִׁים אֶלֶף אִֽישׁ׃

וַיִּשְׁלָחֵם לְבָנוֹנָה עֲשֶׂרֶת אֲלָפִים בַּחֹדֶשׁ חֲלִיפוֹת חֹדֶשׁ יִהְיוּ בַלְּבָנוֹן שְׁנַיִם חֳדָשִׁים בְּבֵיתוֹ וַאֲדֹנִירָם עַל־הַמַּֽס׃ {ס}
He sent them to Lebanon [at the rate of] ten thousand a month in shifts. Each shift would be in Lebanon for a month, and two months in their home. Adonirom was in charge of the tax.

חליפות. כמו שמסיים ואומר: חדש יהיו בלבנון, כשהיו עשרת אלפים איש בתשרי בלבנון, והעשרים אלף איש בביתו, במרחשון מתחלפים עשרת האלפים השניים ויוצאים ללבנון, ואלו חוזרים לביתם, ובכסליו יוצאים עשרת אלפים השלישים ויוצאים ללבנון, ואלו חוזרים לביתם, ובטבת יוצאים הראשונים וחוזרים ללבנון, וכן חוזרים חלילה, נמצאו כל עשרת אלפים שבהם, חדש בלבנון, ושני חדשים בביתם:
In shifts. As he concludes and says, “they will be a month in Levanon.” When the ten thousand men were in Levanon in Tishrei and the twenty thousand men were at home in Mar Cheshvan, the second ten thousand would alternate and go out to Levanon and these would return to their home[s]. And in Kislev the third ten thousand would go out to Levanon, and these [second ones] would return to their home[s]. And in Teiveis the first ones go out and return to Levanon, and thus they would continue the cycle, which resulted that each ten thousand among them spent one month in Levanon and two months at home.
על המס. לגבותו:
In charge of the tax. To collect it.
ויהי המס. עולה לשכר של שלשים אלף איש:
The tax consisted of. Which amounted to the wages of thirty thousand men.
