Charles Spurgeon Commentary 1 Kings 5:15

"And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand that were hewers in the mountains;" — 1 Kings 5:15 (ASV)

What were their names? I cannot tell you, but probably there was a book in which they were all recorded, and Christ has many humble workers, hewers of wood and bearers of burdens, whose names are not known among men. Well, what is in a name? Let us be content to serve under our greater Solomon, and let the whole glory of building his spiritual temple go to him. Never mind who bears the burdens or who hews the stones, the temple is for God, so let God be glorified, and not man.
