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 Bethshemesh, and Elonbethhanan:
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 Bethshean, which is by Zartanah beneath Jezreel, from Bethshean to Abelmeholah, even unto the place that is beyond Jokneam:
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:
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 Beersheba, 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.
