Book 11 1 Kings Chapter 004

 

004:001So king Solomon was king over all Israel.

 

004:002And these were the princes which he had; Azariah the son of
Zadok the priest,

 

004:003Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat
the son of Ahilud, the recorder.

 

004:004And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host: and Zadok
and Abiathar were the priests:

 

004:005And Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers: and Zabud
the son of Nathan was principal officer, and the king's
friend:

 

004:006And Ahishar was over the household: and Adoniram the son of
Abda was over the tribute.

 

004:007And 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.

 

004:008And these are their names: The son of Hur, in mount Ephraim:

 

004:009The son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Bethshemesh,
and Elonbethhanan:

 

004:010The son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him pertained Sochoh, and all
the land of Hepher:

 

004:011The son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; which had
Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife:

 

004:012Baana 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:

 

004:013The 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:

 

004:014Ahinadab the son of Iddo had Mahanaim:

 

004:015Ahimaaz was in Naphtali; he also took Basmath the daughter of
Solomon to wife:

 

004:016Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher and in Aloth:

 

004:017Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar:

 

004:018Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin:

 

004:019Geber 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.

 

004:020Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in
multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry.

 

004:021And 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.

 

004:022And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of
fine flour, and threescore measures of meal,

 

004:023Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an
hundred sheep, beside harts, and roebucks, and fallowdeer, and
fatted fowl.

 

004:024For 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.

 

004:025And 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.

 

004:026And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his
chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

 

004:027And 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.

 

004:028Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries brought
they unto the place where the officers were, every man
according to his charge.

 

004:029And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much,
and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea
shore.

 

004:030And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children
of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

 

004:031For 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.

 

004:032And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a
thousand and five.

 

004:033And 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.

 

004:034And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon,
from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.
