所罗门的臣仆

4 所罗门统治以色列， 2 以下是他的众臣仆：撒督的儿子亚撒利雅做祭司； 3 示沙的儿子以利何烈和亚希亚做书记；亚希律的儿子约沙法做史官； 4 耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅做元帅；撒督和亚比亚他做祭司长； 5 拿单的儿子亚撒利雅掌管吏部；拿单的儿子撒布得祭司做所罗门王的顾问； 6 亚希煞总管宫廷事务；亚比大的儿子亚多尼兰总管做劳役的。

7 所罗门在以色列全国设立了十二个地方官，负责供给王及王室的需用，每年每人负责一个月。 8 这十二个地方官是：便·户珥，负责以法莲山区； 9 便·底甲，负责玛迦斯、沙宾、伯·示麦、以伦·伯·哈南； 10 便·希悉，负责亚鲁泊，包括梭哥和希弗全境； 11 所罗门女儿她法的丈夫便·亚比拿达，负责多珥高原； 12 亚希律的儿子巴拿，负责他纳和米吉多，靠近撒拉他拿、耶斯列下边的伯·善全境，以及从伯·善到亚伯·米何拉，远至约念； 13 便·基别，负责基列的拉末和玛拿西子孙雅珥在基列的城邑，以及巴珊的亚珥歌伯地区有城墙和铜闩的大城六十座； 14 易多的儿子亚希拿达，负责玛哈念； 15 所罗门的另一个女儿巴实抹的丈夫亚希玛斯，负责拿弗他利； 16 户筛的儿子巴拿，负责亚设和亚禄； 17 帕路亚的儿子约沙法，负责以萨迦； 18 以拉的儿子示每，负责便雅悯； 19 乌利的儿子基别，独自负责从前属亚摩利王西宏和巴珊王噩的基列地区。

所罗门的财富和智慧

20 犹大人和以色列人多如海沙，丰衣足食，生活幸福。 21 所罗门统管列国，从幼发拉底河至非利士，直到埃及边界。所罗门在世的日子，列国都年年进贡称臣。

22 王室每天用三千公斤细面粉、六千公斤粗面粉、 23 十头肥牛、二十头草场的牛、一百只羊，此外还有鹿、羚羊、狍子及肥禽。 24 所罗门统治幼发拉底河西面所有的国家，从提弗萨直到迦萨，四境安宁。 25 所罗门在世的时候，从但到别示巴的犹大人和以色列人都在自己的葡萄树和无花果树下安居。

26 所罗门有四万匹拉战车的马，一万二千名骑兵。 27 十二个地方官按月供给所罗门王及王室的需用，使他们一无所缺。 28 他们也各按其份提供喂马用的大麦和干草。

29 上帝赐予所罗门无比的智慧、悟性和渊博的学识。 30 他的智慧高过东方人和埃及人的一切智慧， 31 无人能比，胜过以斯拉人以探和玛曷的儿子希幔、甲各、达大的智慧。他名扬四周列国。 32 所罗门写下箴言三千句，作诗歌一千零五首。 33 他对飞禽走兽、草木鱼虫，从黎巴嫩的香柏树到长在墙上的牛膝草，都无所不知。 34 天下列王风闻所罗门的智慧，都纷纷遣使来求教。

Solomon’s Administration

4 So King Solomon was king over all Israel. 2 And these were his officials: Azariah the son of Zadok, the priest; 3 Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, [a]scribes; (A)Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder; 4 (B)Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, over the army; Zadok and (C)Abiathar, the priests; 5 Azariah the son of Nathan, over (D)the officers; Zabud the son of Nathan, (E)a priest and (F)the king’s friend; 6 Ahishar, over the household; and (G)Adoniram the son of Abda, over the labor force.

7 And Solomon had twelve governors over all Israel, who provided food for the king and his household; each one made provision for one month of the year. 8 These are their names: [b]Ben-Hur, in the mountains of Ephraim; 9 [c]Ben-Deker, in Makaz, Shaalbim, Beth Shemesh, and Elon Beth Hanan; 10 [d]Ben-Hesed, in Arubboth; to him belonged Sochoh and all the land of Hepher; 11 [e]Ben-Abinadab, in all the regions of Dor; he had Taphath the daughter of Solomon as wife; 12 Baana the son of Ahilud, in Taanach, Megiddo, and all Beth Shean, which is beside Zaretan below Jezreel, from Beth Shean to Abel Meholah, as far as the other side of Jokneam; 13 [f]Ben-Geber, in Ramoth Gilead; to him belonged (H)the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, in Gilead; to him also belonged (I)the region of Argob in Bashan—sixty large cities with walls and bronze gate-bars; 14 Ahinadab the son of Iddo, in Mahanaim; 15 (J)Ahimaaz, in Naphtali; he also took Basemath the daughter of Solomon as wife; 16 Baanah the son of (K)Hushai, in Asher and Aloth; 17 Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar; 18 (L)Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin; 19 Geber the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, in (M)the country of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king of Bashan. He was the only governor who was in the land.

Prosperity and Wisdom of Solomon’s Reign

20 Judah and Israel were as numerous (N)as the sand by the sea in multitude, (O)eating and drinking and rejoicing. 21 So (P)Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from (Q)the[g] River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt. (R)They brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.

22 (S)Now Solomon’s [h]provision for one day was thirty [i]kors of fine flour, sixty kors of meal, 23 ten fatted oxen, twenty oxen from the pastures, and one hundred sheep, besides deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fatted fowl.

24 For he had dominion over all the region on this side of [j]the River from Tiphsah even to Gaza, namely over (T)all the kings on this side of the River; and (U)he had peace on every side all around him. 25 And Judah and Israel (V)dwelt[k] safely, (W)each man under his vine and his fig tree, (X)from Dan as far as Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.

26 (Y)Solomon had [l]forty thousand stalls of (Z)horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. 27 And (AA)these governors, each man in his month, provided food for King Solomon and for all who came to King Solomon’s table. There was no lack in their supply. 28 They also brought barley and straw to the proper place, for the horses and steeds, each man according to his charge.

29 And (AB)God gave Solomon wisdom and exceedingly great understanding, and largeness of heart like the sand on the seashore. 30 Thus Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the men (AC)of the East and all (AD)the wisdom of Egypt. 31 For he was (AE)wiser than all men—(AF)than Ethan the Ezrahite, (AG)and Heman, Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the surrounding nations. 32 (AH)He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his (AI)songs were one thousand and five. 33 Also he spoke of trees, from the cedar tree of Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall; he spoke also of animals, of birds, of creeping things, and of fish. 34 And men of all nations, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom, (AJ)came to hear the wisdom of Solomon.

Chapter 4

Solomon’s Riches: Domestic Affairs.[a] 1 Solomon was king over all Israel, 2 and these were the officials he had in his service:

Azariah, son of Zadok, the priest;

3 Elihoreph and Ahijah, sons of Shisha, scribes;

Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, the chancellor;

4 Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, in charge of the army;

Zadok and Abiathar, priests;

5 Azariah, son of Nathan, in charge of the governors;

Zabud, son of Nathan, priest and companion to the king;

6 Ahishar, master of the palace; and

Adoniram, son of Abda, in charge of the forced labor.

7 [b]Solomon had twelve governors over all Israel who supplied food for the king and his household, each having to provide for one month in the year. 8 Their names were:[c]

the son of Hur in the hill country of Ephraim;

9 the son of Deker in Makaz, Shaalbim, Beth-shemesh, and Elon Beth-hanan;

10 the son of Hesed in Arubboth, as well as in Socoh and the whole region of Hepher;

11 the son of Abinadab, in all Naphath-dor; he was married to Taphath, Solomon’s daughter;

12 Baana, son of Ahilud, in Taanach and Megiddo and all Beth-shean near Zarethan below Jezreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah to beyond Jokmeam;

13 the son of Geber in Ramoth-gilead, having charge of the villages of Jair, son of Manasseh, in Gilead; and of the district of Argob in Bashan—sixty large walled cities with gates barred with bronze;

14 Ahinadab, son of Iddo, in Mahanaim;

15 Ahimaaz, in Naphtali; he was married to Basemath, another daughter of Solomon;

16 Baana, son of Hushai, in Asher and Aloth;

17 Jehoshaphat, son of Paruah, in Issachar;

18 Shimei, son of Ela, in Benjamin;

19 Geber, son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, the land of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and of Og, king of Bashan.

There was one governor besides, in the land of Judah.[d] 20 (A)Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sands by the sea; they ate and drank and rejoiced.

Footnotes

  1. 4:1–5:8 The sub-unit on Solomon’s riches is organized around domestic affairs (4:1–20) and international affairs (5:1–5), with a short appendix on Solomon’s horses and chariots (5:6–8). Compare 9:26–10:29, where comparable elements reappear.
  2. 4:7–19 The administration of the kingdom thus initiated by Solomon continued in its main features for the duration of the monarchy in Israel and Judah. Note the use of “all Israel” to mean only the northern tribes (see also 5:27). Solomon’s exactions did not fall evenly on the whole people, but favored his own southern tribe of Judah. Eventually this inequity would lead to the dissolution of the union of Israel and Judah (12:1–19).
  3. 4:8–19 Several of the governors are identified only by their fathers’ names.
  4. 4:19 One governor…land of Judah: the royal territory of Judah had its own peculiar administration different from that of the twelve northern districts, each of which had to supply the king and his household with a month’s provisions of food each year (v. 7).
