Exegesis
The head noun yisrael {יִשְׂרָאֵל | yiś-rā-ʾēl} is qualified by the relative clause asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă-šer} ‘who/that’ + lo-natan {לֹא־נָתַן | lō-nāṯan} ‘did not give’, which frames Solomon’s policy negatively (he did not “hand over” Israelites into this labor category).
Root and etymology
shin–reshshin–resh
“prince, chief, official”
In context — 2 Chronicles 8:9
But from the Israelites, Solomon did not give any as slaves for his work; for they were men of war , and the officers of his captains , and the officers of his chariotry, and his horsemen.
