OEB 1KI Chapter 4

1KI 4 ©

4Now Solomon was king over all Israel. 2And these were the princes whom he had: Azariah the son of Zadok was priest; 3Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, were scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahiluf was chancellor; 4and Benaiah the son of Jehoida was at the head of the army; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests; 5and Azariah the son of Nathan was at the head of the officers; and Zabud the son of Nathan was a priest and the king’s friend; 6and Ahishar was prefect of the palace; and Adoniram the son of Abda was in charge of the forced levy.

7And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided food for the king and his household: each man had to make provision for a month in the year. 8And these are their names: Ben-hur, in the hill-country of Ephraim; 9Ben-deker, in Makaz, Shaalbim, Bethshemesh, and Elonbethanan: 10Ben-hesed, in Arubboth; to him belonged Socoh and all the land of Hepher; 11Ben-abinadab, in all the highland of Dor (he had Tapath the daughter of Solomon as wife); 12Baana the son of Ahilud, in Taanach and Megiddo and all Bethshean, which is beside Zarethan, beneath Jezreel, from Bethshean to Abel-meholah, as far as the other side of Jokneam; 13Ben-geber in Ramoth in Gilead; to him belonged the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead; to him belonged the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great cities with walls and brazen bars; 14Ahinadab the son of Iddo in Mahanaim; 15Ahimaaz, in Naphtali (he also took Basemath the daughter of Solomon as wife); 16Baana the son of Hushai, in Asher and Bealoth; 17Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar; 18Shimei the son of Ela, in Benjamin;Where Kent reads "Gad", the Masoretic Text reads "Gilead". Where Kent reads, "and one officer was over all the officials who were in the land", the Masoretic Text reads, "and there was one officer who was in the land". 19Geber the son of Uri, in the land of Gad, the country of Sihon king of the Amorites and of Og king of Bashan; and one officer was over all the officials who were in the land.

20Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand which is by the sea; they were ever eating and drinking and making merry. 21And Solomon was the ruler from the River to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt. They brought tribute and were subject to Solomon as long as he lived.

22And Solomon’s provision for one day was about six hundred bushels of fine flour, and about one thousand, two hundred bushels of meal, 23ten fat, and twenty meadow-fed oxen, and a hundred sheep, besides harts, gazelles, roebucks, and fatted fowls.

24For he had dominion over everything on the other side the River Euphrates, from Tiphsah even to Gaza, over all the kings on the other side the River. And he had peace on all sides of him, 25so that Judah and Israel from Dan to Beersheba dwelt in safety, every man under his own vine and fig tree, as long as Solomon lived.start jps1917 This is 5:6 in JPS 1917

26And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.end jps1917

27And these officers provided food for King Solomon and for all who came to King Solomon’s table, each in his month. They let nothing be lacking. 28Barley also and straw for the horses and swift steeds they brought to the proper place--each according to his individual responsibility.

29And God gave Solomon wisdom and insight in plentiful measure, and breadth of mind, even as the sand that is on the sea-shore, 30so that Solomon’s wisdom surpassed the wisdom of all the eastern Arabians and all the wisdom of Egypt. 31For he was wiser than all men: than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, Calcol, Darda, the sons of Mahol, and his fame was in all the surrounding nations.Where Kent reads "five thousand", the Masoretic Text reads "one thousand and five". 32And he uttered three thousand proverbs, and his songs were five thousand. 33And he spoke of different varieties of trees from the cedar that is in Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall; he spoke also beasts, of birds, of creeping things, and of fishes. 34And there came some from among all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, deputed by all kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.
