1KI-4:1 So king Solomon was king over all Israel.
1KI-4:2 And these [were] the princes which he had; Azariah the
son of Zadok the priest,
1KI-4:3 Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes;
Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder.
1KI-4:4 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was] over the host: and
Zadok and Abiathar [were] the priests:
1KI-4:5 And Azariah the son of Nathan [was] over the officers;
and Zabud the son of Nathan [was] principal officer, [and] the
king's friend:
1KI-4:6 And Ahishar [was] over the household: and Adoniram the
son of Abda [was] over the tribute.
1KI-4:7 And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, which
provided victuals for the king and his household: each man his
month in a year made provision.
1KI-4:8 And these [are] their names: The son of Hur, in mount
Ephraim:
1KI-4:9 The son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and
Bethshemesh, and Elonbethhanan:
1KI-4:10 The son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him [pertained] Sochoh,
and all the land of Hepher:
1KI-4:11 The son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; which
had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife:
1KI-4:12 Baana the son of Ahilud; [to him pertained] Taanach and
Megiddo, and all Bethshean, which [is] by Zartanah beneath
Jezreel, from Bethshean to Abelmeholah, [even] unto [the place
that is] beyond Jokneam:
1KI-4:13 The son of Geber, in Ramothgilead; to him [pertained]
the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which [are] in Gilead; to
him [also pertained] the region of Argob, which [is] in Bashan,
threescore great cities with walls and brazen bars:
1KI-4:14 Ahinadab the son of Iddo [had] Mahanaim:
1KI-4:15 Ahimaaz [was] in Naphtali; he also took Basmath the
daughter of Solomon to wife:
1KI-4:16 Baanah the son of Hushai [was] in Asher and in Aloth:
1KI-4:17 Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar:
1KI-4:18 Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin:
1KI-4:19 Geber the son of Uri [was] in the country of Gilead,
[in] the country of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king
of Bashan; and [he was] the only officer which [was] in the land.
1KI-4:20 Judah and Israel [were] many, as the sand which [is] by
the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry.
1KI-4:21 And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river
unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt:
they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his
life.
1KI-4:22 And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures
of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal,
1KI-4:23 Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and
an hundred sheep, beside harts, and roebucks, and fallowdeer,
and fatted fowl.
1KI-4:24 For he had dominion over all [the region] on this side
the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on
this side the river: and he had peace on all sides round about
him.
1KI-4:25 And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his
vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the
days of Solomon.
1KI-4:26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his
chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
1KI-4:27 And those officers provided victual for king Solomon,
and for all that came unto king Solomon's table, every man in
his month: they lacked nothing.
1KI-4:28 Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries
brought they unto the place where [the officers] were, every man
according to his charge.
1KI-4:29 And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding
much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that [is] on the
sea shore.
1KI-4:30 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the
children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
1KI-4:31 For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite,
and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his
fame was in all nations round about.
1KI-4:32 And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs
were a thousand and five.
1KI-4:33 And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that [is] in
Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he
spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and
of fishes.
1KI-4:34 And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of
Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his
wisdom.
