O reino de Salomão
4 O rei Salomão era rei de todo Israel. 2 Os líderes que o ajudaram a governar foram os seguintes:
Azarias, filho de Zadoque, era o sacerdote.
3 Eliorefe e Aías, filhos de Sisa, eram os secretários da corte.
Josafá, filho de Ailude, era o historiador.
4 Benaia, filho de Joiada, era o comandante do exército.
Zadoque e Abiatar eram sacerdotes.
5 Azarias, filho de Natã, estava encarregado dos governantes dos diferentes distritos.
Zabude, filho de Natã, era sacerdote e conselheiro do rei Salomão.
6 Aisar era o administrador do palácio real.
Adonirão, filho de Abda, estava encarregado dos escravos.
7 Israel foi dividido em doze regiões chamadas distritos. Salomão nomeou um governador para cada distrito e ordenou aos governadores que juntassem alimentos em cada distrito para o rei e a sua família. Cada um dos doze governantes era responsável por juntar os alimentos necessários para um mês. 8 Os doze governadores eram:
Ben-Hur, governador da região montanhosa de Efraim.
9 Ben-Dequer, governador de Macaz, Saalbim,
Bete-Semes e Elom-Bete-Hanã.
10 Ben-Hesede, governador de Arubote, Socó e Héfer.
11 Ben-Abinadade, governador de Nafote-Dor, casado com Tafate, filha de Salomão.
12 Baaná, filho de Ailude, era governador de Taanaque e Megido e de todo Bete-Seã junto a Zaretã, embaixo de Jezreel, desde Bete-Seã até Abel-Meolá, em frente de Jocmeão.
13 Ben-Geder, governador de Ramote-Gileade, governava todas as vilas e povos de Jair, filho de Manassés, que estava em Gileade. Também era o governador do distrito de Argobe que estava em Basã. Nesta região havia sessenta cidades protegidas por grandes muros com barras de bronze que reforçavam as portas.
14 Ainadabe, filho de Ido, governador de Maanaim.
15 Aimaás, governador de Naftali. Estava casado com Basemate, filha de Salomão.
16 Baaná, filho de Husai, governador de Aser e Bealote.
17 Josafá, filho de Parua, governador de Issacar.
18 Simei, filho de Elá, governador de Benjamim.
19 Geber, filho de Uri, governador de Gileade. Gileade era o país onde viveu Seom, rei dos amorreus, e o país onde viveu Ogue, rei de Basã. Mas Geber era o único governador desses distritos.
20 Houve tantas pessoas em Judá e Israel como a areia na praia. Viviam alegres com comida e bebida em abundância.
21 Salomão dominava todos os reinos, desde o rio Eufrates até a terra dos filisteus e até o território do Egito. Os reis destes países levavam tributo a Salomão e o serviram toda a sua vida.
22 Esta era a quantidade de comida necessária para Salomão e os que dependiam das provisões do rei: 5.000 quilos[a] de farinha fina, 10.000 quilos de farinha comum, 23 10 bois alimentados com trigo, 20 bois alimentados no campo, 100 ovelhas; animais silvestres como cervos, gazelas, corças e aves de caça.
24 Salomão dominava todos os países ao oeste do rio Eufrates, ou seja, todo o território e os reis localizados ao oeste do rio Eufrates, desde Tifsa até Gaza. Por todos lados houve paz em seu reino. 25 Durante todo o tempo do seu reinado, Judá e Israel, desde Dã até Berseba, desfrutaram de paz e segurança. Cada pessoa sentava-se debaixo da sua própria figueira e da sua própria videira.
26 Salomão tinha 4.000[b] cocheiras para os cavalos que puxavam os seus carros e tinha 12.000 cavalos. 27 Cada mês um dos doze governadores dos distritos dava ao rei Salomão todo o necessário para servir a todos os que dependiam das provisões do rei. Nunca faltava nada. 28 Também cada um pela sua parte trazia os cavalos de guerra e os de carga que levavam carregamento de cevada e palha.
A sabedoria de Salomão
29 Deus deu sabedoria e muito entendimento a Salomão. A sua inteligência era extraordinária e o seu entendimento não podia ser contado, era como a areia na praia. 30 A sabedoria de Salomão era maior do que a sabedoria dos sábios do Oriente e que toda a sabedoria do Egito juntas. 31 Ele era mais sábio do que qualquer pessoa, até do que Etã, o ezraíta, e do que Hemã, Calcol e Darda, os filhos de Maol. O rei Salomão chegou a ser muito famoso entre as nações do mundo daquele tempo. 32 Durante sua vida Salomão compôs 3.000 provérbios e 1.005 canções.
33 Salomão também entendia sobre a natureza. Ele ensinava sobre plantas, desde os cedros altos do Líbano até as trepadeiras. Também ensinava sobre os animais grandes, aves e bichos de todo tipo. 34 Os reis enviavam pessoas de todas as nações para ouvir sua sabedoria.

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;
Zadok(F) and Abiathar—priests;
5 Azariah son of Nathan—in charge of the district governors;

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;
10 Ben-Hesed—in Arubboth (Sokoh(N) and all the land of Hepher(O) were his);
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)
15 Ahimaaz(Y)—in Naphtali (he had married Basemath daughter of Solomon);
16 Baana son of Hushai(Z)—in Asher and in Aloth;
17 Jehoshaphat son of Paruah—in Issachar;
18 Shimei(AA) son of Ela—in Benjamin;
19 Geber son of Uri—in Gilead (the country of Sihon(AB) king of the Amorites and the country of Og(AC) king of Bashan). He was the only governor over the district.
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]

4 2 The princes and rulers under Solomon. 22 The purveyance for his victuals. 26 The number of his horses. 32 His books and writings.
1 And king Solomon was king over all Israel.
2 And these were [a]his princes, [b]Azariah the son of Zadok the Priest,

4 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host, and Zadok and [c]Abiathar, Priests,
5 And Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers, and Zabud the son of Nathan, Priest, was the king’s friend,
6 And Ahishar was over the household, and (A)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 had a month in the year to provide victuals.
8 And these are their names: the son of Hur in mount Ephraim:
9 The son of Deker in Makaz, and in Shaalbim and Beth Shemesh, and [d]Elon and Beth Hanan:
10 The son of Hesed in Arubboth, to whom 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 in Taanach, and Megiddo, and in all Beth Shean, which is by Zaretan beneath Jezreel, from Beth Shean [e]to Abel Meholah, even till beyond over against Jokneam:
13 The son of Geber in Ramoth Gilead, and his were the towns of [f]Jair, the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead, and under him was the region of Argob, which is in Bashan: threescore great cities with walls and bars of brass.

20 Judah and Israel were many, as the sand of the sea in number, [h]eating, drinking, and making merry.
21 And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms, from the [i]River unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt, and they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life.
22 And Solomon’s victuals for one day were thirty [j]measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal:
23 Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen of the pastures, and an hundred sheep, besides harts, and bucks, and bugles, and fat fowl.
24 For he ruled in all the region on the other side of the River, from Tiphsah even unto [k]Gaza, over all the [l]kings on the other side the River: and he had peace round about him on every side.
25 And Judah and Israel dwelt without fear every man under his vine, and under his fig tree, from [m]Dan, even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.
26 ¶ And Solomon had (B)forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
27 And these officers provided victual for king Solomon, and for all that came to king Solomon’s table, every man his month, and they suffered to lack nothing.
28 Barley also and straw for the horses and mules, 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 [n]a large heart, even as the sand that is on the seashore,
30 And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the [o]East, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
31 For he was wiser than any man: yea, than were Ethan the Ezrahite, than Heman, than Chalcol, than Darda the sons of Mahol: and he was famous throughout all nations round about.
32 And Solomon spake three thousand [p]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 [q]hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts, and of fowls, 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.

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.
