1 Un ķēniņš Salamans bija ķēniņš pār visu Israēlu.
2 Un šie bija viņa atbildīgākie darbinieki: Asarja, Cadoka dēls, bija augstais priesteris.
3 Elihorefs un Ahija, Šišas dēli, bija rakstveži, un Jehošafats, Ahiluda dēls, valsts padomnieks.
4 Un Benaja, Jojadas dēls, bija iecelts pār kara pulkiem, bet Cadoks un Abjatārs bija priesteri.
5 Bet Asarja, Nātāna dēls, bija pārvaldnieks, un Zabuds, Nātāna dēls, bija priesteris un ķēniņam draugs.
6 Un Ahišars bija nama pārraugs, bet Adonirāms, Abdas dēls, bija iecelts pār klaušu pildītājiem.
7 Un Salamanam bija divpadsmit pārvaldnieku visā Israēlā, un tie apgādāja ar pārtiku ķēniņu un viņa namu: ikvienam no tiem bija pārtika jāsagādā vienam mēnesim gadā,
8 Un šie ir viņu vārdi: Ben-Hūrs Ēfraima kalnājā;
9 Ben-Dekers Makacā, Šaālebimā, Betšemešā, Ēlonā un Bet-Hananā;
10 Ben-Heseds Arubotā, tam pakļauta bija arī visa Šocho un visa Hefera zeme;
11 Ben-Abinadabs visā Nafat—Dorā, Salamana meita Tafata tam bija par sievu;
12 Baāna, Ahiluda dēls, bija Taānachā un Megidā un itin visā Bet-Šeanā, kas atrodas blakus Cartanai, dienvidos no Jezreēlas, no Bet Šeanas līdz Ābel-Mekolai, un pat viņpus Jokmeāmai;
13 Bet Gebera dēls—Gileād-Ramotā, viņam bija pakļauta arī Manases dēla Jaīra telšu nometne, kas atrodas Gileādā, viņam bija padots arī Argobas novads kas atrodas Basanā, —sešdesmit pilsētas ar augstiem mūriem un vara vārtu aizšaujamām bultām;
14 Ahīnadabs, Ido dēls, Mahanajimā;
15 Ahimācs Naftaļa novadā; viņš paņēma Salamana vienu meitu—Basmati par sievu;
16 Baāna, Hušaja dēls, Ašerā un Bealotā;
17 Jošafats, Faruacha dēls, Isašarā;
18 Šimejs, Ēlas dēls, Benjamīnā;
19 Gebers, Ūrija dēls, Gileāda novadā, amoriešu ķēniņa Sihona un Basanas ķēniņa Oga zemēs, un viens pats pārvaldnieks bija zemē.
20 Bet Jūdas un Israēla bija tik daudz kā smiltis jūrmalā: un tie ēda, un dzēra, un līksmojās.
1 So king Solomon was king over all Israel. 2 And these were the princes which he had; Azariah the son of Zadok the priest, 3 Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder. 4 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests: 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: 6 And Ahishar was over the household: and 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 his month in a year made provision. 8 And these are their names: The son of Hur, in mount Ephraim: 9 The son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Beth-shemesh, and Elon-beth-hanan: 10 The son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him 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; to him pertained Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean, which is by Zartanah beneath Jezreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah, even unto the place that is beyond Jokneam: 13 The son of Geber, in Ramoth-gilead; 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: 14 Ahinadab the son of Iddo had Mahanaim: 15 Ahimaaz was in Naphtali; he also took Basmath the daughter of Solomon to wife: 16 Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher and in Aloth: 17 Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar: 18 Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin: 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.
20 ¶ Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry. 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.
22 ¶ And Solomon’s provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal, 23 Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an hundred sheep, beside harts, and roebucks, and fallowdeer, and fatted fowl. 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. 25 And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, all the days of Solomon.
26 ¶ And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. 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. 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.
29 ¶ And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore. 30 And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt. 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. 32 And he spake three thousand 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 hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts, and of fowl, 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.
