How many overseers did Solomon have while building the Temple?

“And Solomon had three score and ten thousand that bare burdens, and four score thousand hewers in the mountains; besides the chief of Solomon’s officers which were over the work, three thousand and three hundred” (1 Kings, v, 15, 16).

“And he set three score and ten thousand of them to be bearers of burdens and four score thousand to be hewers in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people awork” (2 Chron. ii, 18).
