ULT 1KI Chapter 4

4 And King Solomon was king over all Israel. 2 And these were the officials which were for him: Azariah the son of Zadok was the priest. 3 Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, were scribes. Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder. 4 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the army. And Zadok and Abiathar were priests. 5 And Azariah the son of Nathan was over the stationed ones. And Zabud the son of Nathan was a priest, the friend of the king. 6 And Ahishar was over the house. And Adoniram the son of Abda was over the forced labor.

7 And for Solomon were 12 stationed ones over all Israel, and they sustained the king and his house. A month in the year it would be on one to sustain. 8 And these were their names: Ben Hur in the hill country of Ephraim, 9 Ben Deker in Makaz and in Shaalbim and Beth Shemesh and Elon Beth Hanan, 10 Ben Hesed in the Arubboth (for him was Sokoh and all the land of Hepher), 11 Ben Abinadab was for all Naphoth Dor (Taphath, the daughter of Solomon, was for him for a wife), 12 Baana the son of Ahilud in Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth Shan that is beside Zarethan from below Jezreel, from Beth Shan as far as Abel Meholah, as far as from the other side of Jokmeam, 13 Ben Geber in Ramoth Gilead, for him were the villages of Jair the son of Manasseh that were in Gilead, for him was the region of Argob, which was in the Bashan—60 great cities with a wall and a gate bar of bronze; 14 Ahinadab the son of Iddo in Mahanaim, 15 Ahimaaz in Naphtali (he also took Basemath the daughter of Solomon for a wife), 16 Baana the son of Hushai in Asher and Bealoth, 17 Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah in Issachar, 18 Shimei the son of Ela in Benjamin, 19 Geber the son of Uri in the land of Gilead, the land of Sihon, the king of the Amorite and Og, the king of the Bashan, and he was the one stationed one who was in the land.

20 Judah and Israel were numerous as the sand that is on the sea according to abundance. They were eating and drinking and rejoicing. 21 And Solomon was ruling over all the kingdoms from the river to the land of the Philistines and as far as the border of Egypt, bringing tribute near and serving Solomon all the days of his life. 22 And the bread of Solomon for one day was 30 cors of fine flour and 60 cors of flour, 23 ten fat cattle and 20 pasture cattle and 100 sheep, apart from deer and gazelle and roebuck and fattened fowl. 24 For he had dominion over all beyond the river, from Tiphsah and as far as Gaza, over all the kings of beyond the river. And peace was for him from all his sides, from all around. 25 And Judah and Israel dwelled in safety, a man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan and as far as Beersheba, all the days of Solomon. 26 And there was for Solomon 40,000 stalls of horses for his chariotry and 12,000 horsemen. 27 And those stationed ones sustained the king Solomon and all the ones who came near to the table of the king Solomon, a man his month. They would not let anything be lacking. 28 And they brought the barley and the straw for the horses and for the steed to the place there where it should be, a man according to his regulation.

29 And God gave wisdom to Solomon and very much understanding and width of heart like the sand that is on the lip of the sea. 30 And the wisdom of Solomon was greater than the wisdom of all the sons of the east and than all the wisdom of Egypt. 31 And he was wiser than every man, than Ethan the Ezrahite and Heman and Kalkol and Darda, the sons of Mahol. And his name was in all the surrounding nations. 32 And he spoke 3,000 proverbs and his songs were 1,005. 33 And he spoke concerning the trees, from the cedar that is in the Lebanon and as far as the hyssop that comes out on the wall. And he spoke concerning the beast and concerning the bird and concerning the creeping thing and concerning the fish. 34 And they came from all the peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from with all the kings of the earth who had heard his wisdom.
