Charles Spurgeon Commentary 1 Kings 5:16

"besides Solomon`s chief officers that were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, who bare rule over the people that wrought in the work." — 1 Kings 5:16 (ASV)

There must be various degrees among the workers in the service of God. He is a Sovereign, and He divides to every man as He wills. How this ought to hush all envy and rebellion against the officers in the work of God whom He has called to be overseers of others!
