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.

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.

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.

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.

1Now king Solomon was reigning over all of Israel.

2And these were the leaders that he had: Azariah, the son of Zadok, the priest;

3Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, the scribes; Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, the keeper of records;

4Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, over the army; and Zadok, and Abiathar, priests;

5Azariah, the son of Nathan, over those who were assisting the king; Zabud, the son of Nathan, the priest, the friend of the king;

6and Ahishar, first ruler of the house; and Adoniram, the son of Abda, over the tribute.

7And Solomon had twelve commanders over all of Israel, who offered yearly provisions for the king and his house. For each was ministering the necessities, by each month of the year.

8And these are their names: Benhur, on mount Ephraim;

9Bendeker, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and in Beth-shemesh, and in Elon, and in Beth-hanan;

10Benhesed, in Arubboth: his was Socoh and the entire land of Hepher;

11Benabinadab, to whom was all of Naphath-Dor, who had Taphath, the daughter of Solomon, as wife;

12Baana, the son of Ahilud, who was reigning in Taanach, and Megiddo, and all of Bethshean, which is beside Zarethan and below Jezreel, from Bethshean as far as Abelmeholah, opposite Jokmeam;

13Bengeber, in Ramoth Gilead, who had the town of Jair, the son of Manasseh, in Gilead; the same was first in the entire region of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great cities with walls that had bronze bars;

14Ahinadab, the son of Iddo, who was first in Mahanaim;

15Ahimaaz, in Naphtali, and he also had Basemath, the daughter of Solomon, in marriage;

16Baana, the son of Hushai, in Asher and in Bealoth;

17Jehoshaphat, the son of Paruah, in Issachar;

18Shimei, the son of Ela, in Benjamin;

19Geber, the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, in the land of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and of Og, king of Bashan, over all who were in that land.

20Judah and Israel were innumerable, like the sand of the sea in multitude: eating and drinking, and rejoicing.

21Now Solomon had, in his dominion, all the kingdoms, from the river to the land of the Philistines, even to the border of Egypt. And they offered gifts to him, and they served him all the days of his life.

22And the provisions of Solomon, for each day, were thirty cor of fine wheat flour, and sixty cor of meal,

23ten fattened oxen, and twenty oxen from the pastures, and one hundred rams, aside from the venison of stags, roe deer, and gazelles, and fattened poultry.

24For he had obtained the entire region which was beyond the river, from Tiphsah as far as Gaza, and all the kings of those regions. And he had peace on every side all around.

25And so, Judah and Israel were living without any fear, each one under his own vine and under his own fig tree, from Dan as far as Beersheba, during all the days of Solomon.

26And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of chariot horses, and twelve thousand riding horses.

27And the above-stated commanders of the king nourished these. And they also offered the necessities for the table of king Solomon, with immense diligence, each in his time.

28Also, they brought barley and straw for the horses and beasts of burden, to the place where the king was, just as it was appointed to them.

29And God gave wisdom to Solomon, and an exceedingly great prudence, and a spacious heart, like the sand which is on the shore of the sea.

30And the wisdom of Solomon surpassed the wisdom of all the East, and of the Egyptians.

31And he was wiser than all men: wiser than Ethan, the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol. And he was renowned in all the nations on every side.

32Solomon also spoke three thousand parables. And his verses were one thousand and five.

33And he discoursed about trees, from the cedar which is in Lebanon, to the hyssop which grows out from the wall. And he explained about beasts, and birds, and reptiles, and fish.

34And they came from all the peoples in order to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and from all the kings of the earth, who were hearing about his wisdom.
