Solomon's reign is noted for its organization and prosperity, reflecting the wisdom God granted him. The chief officers were likely responsible for overseeing various aspects of the kingdom's operations, ensuring that Solomon's extensive building projects and other royal activities were efficiently managed. This mirrors the administrative roles seen in other ancient Near Eastern kingdoms, where a king's success often depended on the competence of his officials. The mention of "chief officers" underscores the importance of leadership and delegation in governance, a principle echoed in <a href="/exodus/18-21.htm">Exodus 18:21-22</a>, where Moses appoints capable men to help judge the people.<p><b>250 supervisors:</b><br>The specific number of supervisors indicates a well-structured hierarchy within Solomon's administration. The number 250 may symbolize completeness and order, reflecting the organized nature of Solomon's reign. These supervisors likely had various responsibilities, including overseeing labor forces, managing resources, and ensuring the completion of Solomon's ambitious projects, such as the construction of the Temple and his palace. This level of organization is consistent with the descriptions of Solomon's wisdom and the prosperity of his kingdom found in <a href="/1_kings/4-29.htm">1 Kings 4:29-34</a>. The role of these supervisors can also be seen as a type of Christ, who delegates authority to His disciples and the Church to carry out His mission on earth, as seen in <a href="/matthew/28-18.htm">Matthew 28:18-20</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/k/king_solomon.htm">King Solomon</a></b><br>The son of King David and Bathsheba, Solomon is renowned for his wisdom, wealth, and building projects, including the Temple in Jerusalem.
