Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang mga Pinuno ni Solomon
4 Naghari si Solomon sa buong Israel. 2 At ito ang kanyang matataas na pinuno:
Si Azaria ang punong pari mula sa angkan ni Zadok.
3 Sina Elihoref at Ahia na mga anak ni Sisha, ang mga kalihim ng hari.
Si Jehoshafat na anak ni Ahilud, ang namamahala ng mga kasulatan ng kaharian.
4 Si Benaya na anak ni Jehoyada ang kumander ng mga sundalo.
Sina Zadok at Abiatar ang mga pari.
5 Si Azaria na anak ni Natan ang pinuno ng mga gobernador sa mga distrito ng Israel.
Ang paring si Zabud na anak din ni Natan ang personal na tagapayo ng hari.
6 Si Ahisar ang tagapamahala ng palasyo.
At si Adoniram na anak ni Abda, ang namamahala sa mga aliping sapilitang pinagtatrabaho.
7 Mayroon ding 12 gobernador si Solomon sa mga distrito ng buong Israel. Sila ang nagbibigay ng pagkain sa hari at sa sambahayan niya. Bawat isa sa kanila ay nagbibigay ng pagkain sa isang buwan bawat taon. 8 Ito ang kanilang mga pangalan:
Si Ben Hur, na namamahala sa kabundukan ng Efraim.
9 Si Ben Deker na namamahala sa Makaz, Saalbim, Bet Shemesh at sa Elon Bet Hanan.
10 Si Ben Hesed na namamahala sa Arubot, kasama na rito ang Soco at ang buong lupain ng Hefer.
11 Si Ben Abinadab na namamahala sa Nafat Dor. (Asawa siya ni Tafat na anak ni Solomon.)
12 Si Baana na anak ni Ahilud, na namamahala sa Taanac, Megido, sa buong Bet Shan malapit sa Zaretan sa ibaba ng Jezreel at sa mga lugar na mula sa Bet Shan hanggang Abel Mehola at patawid sa Jokmeam.
13 Si Ben Geber, na namamahala sa Ramot Gilead, kasama na rito ang mga bayan ni Jair na anak ni Manase, at sa mga distrito ng Argob sa Bashan, kasama na ang 60 malalaki at napapaderang bayan, na ang mga pintuan ay may tarangkahang tanso.
14 Si Ahinadab na anak ni Iddo, na namamahala sa Mahanaim.
15 Si Ahimaaz, na namamahala sa Naftali. (Asawa siya ni Basemat na anak ni Solomon.)
16 Si Baana na anak ni Hushai, na namamahala sa Asher at sa Alot.
17 Si Jehoshafat na anak ni Parua, na namamahala sa Isacar.
18 Si Shimei na anak ni Ela, na namamahala sa Benjamin.
19 Si Geber na anak ni Uri, na namamahala sa Gilead na sakop noon ni Sihon na hari ng mga Amoreo at ni Haring Og ng Bashan. Si Geber lang ang gobernador sa buong distritong ito.[a]
Ang Kasaganaan at ang Karunungan ni Solomon
20 Ang bilang ng mga tao sa Juda at Israel ay tulad ng buhangin sa dalampasigan na hindi mabilang. Sagana sila sa pagkain at inumin, at masaya sila. 21 Si Solomon ang namamahala sa lahat ng kaharian mula sa Ilog ng Eufrates hanggang sa lupain ng mga Filisteo, hanggang sa hangganan ng Egipto. Ang mga kahariang ito ay nagbabayad ng buwis kay Solomon at nagpapasakop sa kanya habang nabubuhay siya.
22 Ito ang mga pagkaing kailangan ni Solomon sa kanyang palasyo bawat araw: 100 sako ng magandang klaseng harina, 200 sako ng ordinaryong harina, 23 sampung pinatabang baka sa kulungan, 20 baka na galing sa pastulan, 100 tupa o kambing, hindi pa kasama ang ibaʼt ibang uri ng mga usa at magandang uri ng ibon at manok.
24 Sakop ni Solomon ang buong lupain sa kanlurang Ilog ng Eufrates mula sa Tifsa hanggang sa Gaza. At maganda ang pakikitungo niya sa lahat ng bansa sa palibot niya. 25 Kaya habang nabubuhay si Solomon, may kapayapaan sa Juda at sa Israel, mula Dan hanggang sa Beersheba. Ang bawat tao ay payapang nakaupo sa ilalim ng kanyang tanim na ubas at puno ng igos.
26 May 40,000[b] kwadra si Solomon para sa kanyang mga kabayong pangkarwahe at may 12,000 siyang mangangabayo.[c] 27 Ang mga gobernador sa mga distrito ang nagbibigay ng pangangailangan ni Haring Solomon at ng lahat ng nasa palasyo. Ang bawat isa sa kanila ay may responsibilidad sa pagbibigay bawat buwan. Tinitiyak nilang maibibigay ang mga pangangailangan ni Solomon. 28 Nagbibigay din sila ng sebada at dayami para sa mga kabayo. Dinadala nila ito sa lugar na dapat nitong pagdalhan sa oras na kailangan ito.
29 Binigyan ng Dios si Solomon ng di-pangkaraniwang karunungan at pang-unawa, at kaalaman na hindi masukat. 30 Ang kaalaman niya ay higit pa sa kaalaman ng lahat ng matatalino sa silangan at sa Egipto. 31 Siya ang pinakamatalino sa lahat. Mas matalino pa siya kaysa kay Etan na Ezrano at sa mga anak ni Mahol na sina Heman, Calcol at Darda. At naging tanyag siya sa mga nakapaligid na bansa. 32 Gumawa siya ng 3,000 kawikaan at 1,005 awit. 33 Makapagsasabi siya ng tungkol sa lahat ng uri ng pananim, mula sa malalaking punongkahoy hanggang sa maliliit na pananim.[d] Makapagsasabi rin siya tungkol sa lahat ng uri ng hayop na lumalakad, gumagapang, lumilipad, at lumalangoy. 34 Nabalitaan ng lahat ng hari sa mundo ang karunungan ni Solomon, kaya nagpadala sila ng mga tao para makinig sa kanyang karunungan.

1 Kings 4
King James Version
4 So king Solomon was king over all Israel.
2 And these were the princes which he had; Azariah the son of Zadok the priest,
3 Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder.
4 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests:
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:
6 And Ahishar was over the household: and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the tribute.
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.
8 And these are their names: The son of Hur, in mount Ephraim:
9 The son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Bethshemesh, and Elonbethhanan:
10 The son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him pertained Sochoh, and all the land of Hepher:
11 The son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; which had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife:
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:
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 brasen bars:
14 Ahinadab the son of Iddo had Mahanaim:
15 Ahimaaz was in Naphtali; he also took Basmath the daughter of Solomon to wife:
16 Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher and in Aloth:
17 Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar:
18 Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin:
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.
20 Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry.
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.
22 And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal,
23 Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an hundred sheep, beside harts, and roebucks, and fallowdeer, and fatted fowl.
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.
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.
26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
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.
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.
29 And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.
30 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
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.
32 And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five.
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.
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.

New International Version
Solomon’s Officials and Governors
4 So King Solomon ruled over all Israel. 2 And these were his chief officials:(A)
Azariah(B) son of Zadok—the priest;
3 Elihoreph and Ahijah, sons of Shisha—secretaries;(C)
Jehoshaphat(D) son of Ahilud—recorder;
4 Benaiah(E) son of Jehoiada—commander in chief;

6 Ahishar—palace administrator;(G)
7 Solomon had twelve district governors(J) over all Israel, who supplied provisions for the king and the royal household. Each one had to provide supplies for one month in the year. 8 These are their names:
Ben-Hur—in the hill country(K) of Ephraim;
9 Ben-Deker—in Makaz, Shaalbim,(L) Beth Shemesh(M) and Elon Bethhanan;

11 Ben-Abinadab—in Naphoth Dor(P) (he was married to Taphath daughter of Solomon);
12 Baana son of Ahilud—in Taanach and Megiddo, and in all of Beth Shan(Q) next to Zarethan(R) below Jezreel, from Beth Shan to Abel Meholah(S) across to Jokmeam;(T)
13 Ben-Geber—in Ramoth Gilead (the settlements of Jair(U) son of Manasseh in Gilead(V) were his, as well as the region of Argob in Bashan and its sixty large walled cities(W) with bronze gate bars);
14 Ahinadab son of Iddo—in Mahanaim;(X)

Solomon’s Daily Provisions
20 The people of Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand(AD) on the seashore; they ate, they drank and they were happy.(AE) 21 And Solomon ruled(AF) over all the kingdoms from the Euphrates River(AG) to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt.(AH) These countries brought tribute(AI) and were Solomon’s subjects all his life.
22 Solomon’s daily provisions(AJ) were thirty cors[a] of the finest flour and sixty cors[b] of meal, 23 ten head of stall-fed cattle, twenty of pasture-fed cattle and a hundred sheep and goats, as well as deer, gazelles, roebucks and choice fowl.(AK) 24 For he ruled over all the kingdoms west of the Euphrates River, from Tiphsah(AL) to Gaza, and had peace(AM) on all sides. 25 During Solomon’s lifetime Judah and Israel, from Dan to Beersheba,(AN) lived in safety,(AO) everyone under their own vine and under their own fig tree.(AP)
26 Solomon had four[c] thousand stalls for chariot horses,(AQ) and twelve thousand horses.[d]
27 The district governors,(AR) each in his month, supplied provisions for King Solomon and all who came to the king’s table. They saw to it that nothing was lacking. 28 They also brought to the proper place their quotas of barley and straw for the chariot horses and the other horses.
Solomon’s Wisdom
29 God gave Solomon wisdom(AS) and very great insight, and a breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand(AT) on the seashore. 30 Solomon’s wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all the people of the East,(AU) and greater than all the wisdom of Egypt.(AV) 31 He was wiser(AW) than anyone else, including Ethan the Ezrahite—wiser than Heman, Kalkol and Darda, the sons of Mahol. And his fame spread to all the surrounding nations. 32 He spoke three thousand proverbs(AX) and his songs(AY) numbered a thousand and five. 33 He spoke about plant life, from the cedar of Lebanon to the hyssop(AZ) that grows out of walls. He also spoke about animals and birds, reptiles and fish. 34 From all nations people came to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, sent by all the kings(BA) of the world, who had heard of his wisdom.[e]
