1 Kings 4

1And king Solomon reigned over all Israel:

2And these were the princes which he had: Azarias, the son of Sadoc, the priest:

3Elihoreph, and Ahia, the sons of Sisa, scribes: Josaphat, the son of Ahilud, recorder:

4Banaias, the son of Joiada, over the army: and Sadoc, and Abiathar, priests.

5Azarias, the son of Nathan, over them that were about the king: Zabud, the son of Nathan, the priest, the king’s friend:

6And Ahisar, governor of the house: and Adoniram, the son of Abda, over the tribute.

7And Solomon had twelve governors over all Israel, who provided victuals for the king and for his house hold: for every one provided necessaries, each man his month in the year.

8And these are their names: Benhur, in mount Ephraim.

9Bendecar, in Macces, and in Salebim, and in Bethsames, and in Elon, and in Bethanan.

10Benhesed, in Aruboth: his was Socho, and all the land of Epher.

11Benabinadab, to whom belonged all Nephath-Dor: he had Tapheth, the daughter of Solomon, to wife.

12Bana, the son of Ahilud, who governed Thanac, and Mageddo, and all Bethsan, which is by Sarthana, beneath Jezrael, from Bethsan unto Abelmehula, over against Jecmaan.

13Bengaber, in Ramoth Galaad: he had the town of Jair, the son of Manasses, in Galaad: he was chief in all the country of Argob, which is in Basan, threescore great cities with walls, and brazen bolts.

14Ahinadab, the son of Addo, was chief in Manaim.

15Achimaas, in Nephthali: he also had Basemath, the daughter of Solomon, to wife.

16Baana, the son of Husi, in Aser, and in Baloth.

17Josaphat, the son of Pharue, in Issachar.

18Semei, the son of Ela, in Benjamin.

19Gaber, the son of Uri, in the land of Galaad, in the land of Sehon, the king of the Amorrhites, and of Og, the king of Basan, over all that were in that land.

20Juda and Israel were innumerable, as the sand of the sea in multitude; eating and drinking, and rejoicing.

21And Solomon had under him all the kingdoms, from the river to the land of the Philistines, even to the border of Egypt: and they brought him presents, and served him all the days of his life.

22And the provision of Solomon, for each day, was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal;

23Ten fat oxen, and twenty out of the pastures, and a hundred rams; besides venison of harts, roes, and buffles, and fatted fowls.

24For he had all the country which was beyond the river, from Thaphsa to Gazan, and all the kings of those countries: and he had peace on every side round about.

25And Juda, and Israel, dwelt without any fear, every one under his vine, and under his fig tree, from Dan to Bersabee, all the days of Solomon.

26And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of chariot horses, and twelve thousand for the saddle.

27And the foresaid governors of the king fed them; and they furnished the necessaries also for king Solomon’s table, with great care, in their time.

28They brought barley also, and straw for the horses and beasts, to the place where the king was, according as it was appointed them.

29And God gave to Solomon wisdom, and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, as the sand that is on the sea shore.

30And the wisdom of Solomon surpassed the wisdom of all the Orientals, and of the Egyptians;

31And he was wiser than all men: wiser than Ethan, the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Dorda, the sons of Mahol, and he was renowned in all nations round about.

32Solomon also spoke three thousand parables: and his poems were a thousand and five.

33And he treated about trees, from the cedar that is in Libanus, unto the hyssop that cometh out of the wall: and he discoursed of beasts, and of fowls, and of creeping things, and of fishes.

34And they came from all nations to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and from all the kings of the earth, who heard of his wisdom.

1Erat autem rex Salomon regnans super omnem Israël:

2et hi principes quos habebat: Azarias filius Sadoc sacerdotis:

3Elihoreph et Ahia filii Sisa scribæ: Josaphat filius Ahilud a commentariis:

4Banaias filius Jojadæ super exercitum: Sadoc autem et Abiathar sacerdotes:

5Azarias filius Nathan super eos qui assistebant regi : Zabud filius Nathan sacerdos, amicus regis:

6et Ahisar præpositus domus: et Adoniram filius Abda super tributa.

7Habebat autem Salomon duodecim præfectos super omnem Israël, qui præbebant annonam regi et domui ejus : per singulos enim menses in anno, singuli necessaria ministrabant.

8Et hæc nomina eorum: Benhur in monte Ephraim.

9Bendecar in Macces, et in Salebim, et in Bethsames, et in Elon, et in Bethanan.

10Benhesed in Aruboth : ipsius erat Socho, et omnis terra Epher.

11Benabinadab, cujus omnis Nephath Dor : Tapheth filiam Salomonis habebat uxorem.

12Bana filius Ahilud regebat Thanac et Mageddo, et universam Bethsan, quæ est juxta Sarthana subter Jezrahel, a Bethsan usque Abelmehula e regione Jecmaan.

13Bengaber in Ramoth Galaad : habebat Avothjair filii Manasse in Galaad : ipse præerat in omni regione Argob, quæ est in Basan, sexaginta civitatibus magnis atque muratis quæ habebant seras æreas.

14Ahinadab filius Addo præerat in Manaim.

15Achimaas in Nephthali: sed et ipse habebat Basemath filiam Salomonis in conjugio.

16Baana filius Husi in Aser, et in Baloth.

17Josaphat filius Pharue in Issachar.

18Semei filius Ela in Benjamin.

19Gaber filius Uri in terra Galaad, in terra Sehon regis Amorrhæi et Og regis Basan, super omnia quæ erant in illa terra.

20Juda et Israël innumerabiles, sicut arena maris in multitudine : comedentes, et bibentes, atque lætantes.

21Salomon autem erat in ditione sua, habens omnia regna a flumine terræ Philisthiim usque ad terminum Ægypti : offerentium sibi munera, et servientium ei cunctis diebus vitæ ejus.

22Erat autem cibus Salomonis per dies singulos triginta cori similæ, et sexaginta cori farinæ,

23decem boves pingues, et viginti boves pascuales, et centum arietes, excepta venatione cervorum, caprearum, atque bubalorum, et avium altilium.

24Ipse enim obtinebat omnem regionem quæ erat trans flumen, a Thaphsa usque ad Gazan, et cunctos reges illarum regionum : et habebat pacem ex omni parte in circuitu.

25Habitabatque Juda et Israël absque timore ullo, unusquisque sub vite sua et sub ficu sua, a Dan usque Bersabee, cunctis diebus Salomonis.

26Et habebat Salomon quadraginta millia præsepia equorum currilium, et duodecim millia equestrium.

27Nutriebantque eos supradicti regis præfecti: sed et necessaria mensæ regis Salomonis cum ingenti cura præbebant in tempore suo.

28Hordeum quoque, et paleas equorum et jumentorum, deferebant in locum ubi erat rex, juxta constitutum sibi.

29Dedit quoque Deus sapientiam Salomoni, et prudentiam multam nimis, et latitudinem cordis quasi arenam quæ est in littore maris.

30Et præcedebat sapientia Salomonis sapientiam omnium Orientalium et Ægyptiorum,

31et erat sapientior cunctis hominibus : sapientior Ethan Ezrahita, et Heman, et Chalcol, et Dorda filiis Mahol : et erat nominatus in universis gentibus per circuitum.

32Locutus est quoque Salomon tria millia parabolas : et fuerunt carmina ejus quinque et mille.

33Et disputavit super lignis a cedro quæ est in Libano, usque ad hyssopum quæ egreditur de pariete : et disseruit de jumentis, et volucribus, et reptilibus, et piscibus.

34Et veniebant de cunctis populis ad audiendam sapientiam Salomonis, et ab universis regibus terræ qui audiebant sapientiam ejus.
