列王纪上 4
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
所羅門的臣僕
4 所羅門王作了全以色列的王。 2 以下這些人是他的官員：撒督的兒子亞撒利雅作祭司； 3 示沙的兩個兒子以利何烈和亞希亞作書記；亞希律的兒子約沙法作史官； 4 耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅統領軍隊；撒督和亞比亞他作祭司； 5 拿單的兒子亞撒利雅作幕僚長；拿單的兒子撒布得作祭司，他也是王的朋友； 6 亞希煞作家宰；亞比大的兒子亞多尼蘭掌管服勞役的人。
十二個地方官員
7 所羅門在全以色列立了十二個官員；他們為王和王家供應食物，每人每年供應一個月。 8 以下是他們的名字：便．戶珥在以法蓮山地； 9 便．底甲在瑪迦斯、沙賓、伯．示麥、以倫和伯．哈南； 10 便．希悉在亞魯泊，梭哥和希弗全地是屬他管理的； 11 便．亞比拿達在拿法多珥全境，他娶了所羅門的女兒他法為妻； 12 亞希律的兒子巴拿在他納、米吉多和那靠近撒利但、在耶斯列下邊的伯．善全地，由伯．善到亞伯．米何拉，再到約克米暗之外； 13 便．基列在基列的拉末；瑪拿西的子孫睚珥在基列的村落是屬他的，巴珊的亞珥歌伯地的六十座有城牆和銅閂的大城也是屬他的。 14 易多的兒子亞希拿達在瑪哈念； 15 亞希瑪斯在拿弗他利，他娶了所羅門的女兒巴實抹為妻； 16 戶篩的兒子巴拿在亞設和亞錄； 17 帕路亞的兒子約沙法在以薩迦； 18 以拉的兒子示每在便雅憫； 19 烏利的兒子基別在基列地，就是從前亞摩利王西宏和巴珊王噩之地。這地只有一個官員管理。
所羅門的富強
20 猶大人和以色列人很多，像海邊的沙那樣多；他們都吃喝、快樂。
21 所羅門統治列國，從大河到非利士地，直到埃及的邊界。這些國家，在所羅門在世的日子，都向他進貢，服事他。 22 所羅門每天的食物是細麵粉五千公升、粗麵粉一萬公升、 23 肥牛十頭、草場的牛二十頭、羊一百隻，此外還有鹿、羚羊、麅子和肥禽。 24 因為所羅門統治大河西邊，從提弗薩直到迦薩的全境和大河西邊的列王，所以他的四境都平安無事。 25 所羅門在世的日子，猶大和以色列人從但到別是巴，都各在自己的葡萄樹下和無花果樹下安然居住。 26 所羅門有套車的馬四萬匹和騎兵一萬二千人。 27 那些官員分別每月供應所羅門王和所有與所羅門王一同坐席的人的食物，從沒有缺少。 28 他們也各按各的職分供給拉車的馬和快馬吃的大麥和乾草，送到指定的地方。
所羅門的智慧
29 神賜給所羅門智慧、極大的聰明和廣大的心，好像海邊的沙那樣無限無量。 30 所羅門的智慧大過所有東方人的智慧，大過埃及人的一切智慧。 31 他比萬人都有智慧，勝過以斯拉人以探和瑪曷的三個兒子希幔、甲各、達大的智慧。他的名聲傳遍了四周列國。 32 他說了箴言三千句，他的詩歌有一千零五首； 33 他講論草木，從黎巴嫩的香柏木到生長在牆上的牛膝草；他也講論走獸、飛禽、爬行的動物和魚類。 34 萬族之中和地上列王之中，聽聞所羅門的智慧的，都有人來聽所羅門的智慧。（本章第21~34節在《馬索拉文本》為5:1~14）

4 King Solomon ruled over Israel,(A) 2 and these were his officials:(B)
Azariah son of Zadok, priest;
3 Elihoreph and Ahijah the sons of Shisha, secretaries;
Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud, court historian;

6 Ahishar, in charge of the palace;
and Adoniram son of Abda, in charge of forced labor.
7 Solomon had 12 deputies for all Israel. They provided food for the king and his household; each one made provision for one month out of the year.(C) 8 These were their names:
Ben-hur, in the hill country of Ephraim;
9 Ben-deker, in Makaz, Shaalbim, Beth-shemesh, and Elon-beth-hanan;
10 Ben-hesed, in Arubboth (he had Socoh and the whole land of Hepher);
11 Ben-abinadab, in all Naphath-dor (Taphath daughter of Solomon was his wife);
12 Baana son of Ahilud, in Taanach, Megiddo, and all Beth-shean which is beside Zarethan below Jezreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah, as far as the other side of Jokmeam;
13 Ben-geber, in Ramoth-gilead (he had the villages of Jair son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead, and he had the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, 60 great cities with walls and bronze bars);
14 Ahinadab son of Iddo, in Mahanaim;
15 Ahimaaz, in Naphtali (he also had married a daughter of Solomon—Basemath);
16 Baana son of Hushai, in Asher and Bealoth;
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 country of Sihon king of the Amorites and of Og king of Bashan.
There was one deputy in the land of Judah.[a]
Solomon’s Provisions
20 Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand by the sea;(D) they were eating, drinking, and rejoicing. 21 [b]Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines and as far as the border of Egypt.(E) They offered tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.(F)
22 Solomon’s provisions for one day were 150 bushels[c] of fine flour and 300 bushels[d] of meal, 23 10 fattened oxen, 20 range oxen, and 100 sheep, besides deer, gazelles, roebucks, and pen-fed poultry,[e](G) 24 for he had dominion over everything west of the Euphrates from Tiphsah to Gaza and over all the kings west of the Euphrates. He had peace on all his surrounding borders. 25 Throughout Solomon’s reign, Judah and Israel lived in safety from Dan to Beer-sheba,(H) each man under his own vine and his own fig tree.(I) 26 Solomon had 40,000[f] stalls of horses for his chariots, and 12,000 horsemen.(J) 27 Each of those deputies for a month in turn provided food for King Solomon and for everyone who came to King Solomon’s table. They neglected nothing. 28 Each man brought the barley and the straw for the chariot teams and the other horses(K) to the required place according to his assignment.[g]
Solomon’s Wisdom and Literary Gifts
29 God gave Solomon wisdom, very great insight, and understanding(L) as vast as the sand on the seashore. 30 Solomon’s wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all the people of the East,(M) greater than all the wisdom of Egypt.(N) 31 He was wiser than anyone(O)—wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite,(P) and Heman, Calcol, and Darda, sons of Mahol.(Q) His reputation extended to all the surrounding nations.(R)
32 Solomon composed 3,000 proverbs,(S) and his songs numbered 1,005.(T) 33 He described trees, from the cedar in Lebanon to the hyssop growing out of the wall. He also taught about animals, birds, reptiles, and fish. 34 People came from everywhere, sent by every king on earth who had heard of his wisdom, to listen to Solomon’s wisdom.(U)

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.
