I Kings 4

4:1 So king Solomon was king over all Israel.

4:2 And these were the princes which he had; 
Azariah the son of Zadok the priest, 

4:3 Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes;
Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder.

4:4 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host: 
and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests: 

4:5 And Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers: 
and Zabud the son of Nathan was principal officer, and the king's friend: 

4:6 And Ahishar was over the household: 
and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the tribute.

4:7 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.

4:8 And these are their names: The son of Hur, in mount Ephraim: 

4:9 The son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Bethshemesh, and Elonbethhanan: 

4:10 The son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him pertained Sochoh, and all the land of Hepher: 

4:11 The son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; which had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife:

4:12 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:

4:13 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: 

4:14 Ahinadab the son of Iddo had Mahanaim:

4:15 Ahimaaz was in Naphtali; he also took Basmath the daughter of Solomon to wife: 

4:16 Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher and in Aloth: 

4:17 Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar: 

4:18 Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin: 

4:19 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.

4:20 Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, 
eating and drinking, and making merry.

4:21 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.

4:22 And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, 
and threescore measures of meal, 

4:23 Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an hundred sheep, 
beside harts, and roebucks, and fallowdeer, and fatted fowl.

4:24 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.

4:25 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.

4:26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

4:27 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.

4:28 Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries brought they unto the place where the officers were,
every man according to his charge.

4:29 And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, 
and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.

4:30 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, 
and all the wisdom of Egypt.

4:31 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.

4:32 And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five.

4:33 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.

4:34 And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon,
from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.
