1So King Solomon ruled over Israel,
1Erat autem rex Salomon regnans super omnem Israël:
2and these were his chief officials: Azariah son of Zadok was the priest;
2et hi principes quos habebat: Azarias filius Sadoc sacerdotis:
3Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, were secretaries; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
3Elihoreph et Ahia filii Sisa scribæ: Josaphat filius Ahilud a commentariis:
4Benaiah son of Jehoiada was in charge of the army; Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
4Banaias filius Jojadæ super exercitum: Sadoc autem et Abiathar sacerdotes:
5Azariah son of Nathan was in charge of the governors; Zabud son of Nathan was a priest and adviser to the king;
5Azarias filius Nathan super eos qui assistebant regi: Zabud filius Nathan sacerdos, amicus regis:
6Ahishar was in charge of the palace; and Adoniram son of Abda was in charge of the forced labor.
6et Ahisar præpositus domus: et Adoniram filius Abda super tributa.
7Solomon had twelve governors over all Israel to provide food for the king and his household. Each one would arrange provisions for one month of the year,
7Habebat autem Salomon duodecim præfectos super omnem Israël, qui præbebant annonam regi et domui ejus: per singulos enim menses in anno, singuli necessaria ministrabant.
8and these were their names: Ben-hur in the hill country of Ephraim;
8Et hæc nomina eorum: Benhur in monte Ephraim.
9Ben-deker in Makaz, in Shaalbim, in Beth-shemesh, and in Elon-beth-hanan;
9Bendecar in Macces, et in Salebim, et in Bethsames, et in Elon, et in Bethanan.
10Ben-hesed in Arubboth (Socoh and all the land of Hepher belonged to him);
10Benhesed in Aruboth: ipsius erat Socho, et omnis terra Epher.
11Ben-abinadab in Naphath-dor (Taphath, a daughter of Solomon, was his wife);
11Benabinadab, cujus omnis Nephath Dor: Tapheth filiam Salomonis habebat uxorem.
12Baana son of Ahilud in Taanach, in Megiddo, and in all of Beth-shean next to Zarethan below Jezreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah and on past Jokmeam;
12Bana filius Ahilud regebat Thanac et Mageddo, et universam Bethsan, quæ est juxta Sarthana subter Jezrahel, a Bethsan usque Abelmehula e regione Jecmaan.
13Ben-geber in Ramoth-gilead (the villages of Jair son of Manasseh in Gilead belonged to him, as well as the region of Argob in Bashan with its sixty great cities with walls and bronze bars);
13Bengaber in Ramoth Galaad: habebat Avothjair filii Manasse in Galaad: ipse præerat in omni regione Argob, quæ est in Basan, sexaginta civitatibus magnis atque muratis quæ habebant seras æreas.
14Ahinadab son of Iddo in Mahanaim;
14Ahinadab filius Addo præerat in Manaim.
15Ahimaaz in Naphtali (he had married Basemath, a daughter of Solomon);
15Achimaas in Nephthali: sed et ipse habebat Basemath filiam Salomonis in conjugio.
16Baana son of Hushai in Asher and in Aloth;
16Baana filius Husi in Aser, et in Baloth.
17Jehoshaphat son of Paruah in Issachar;
17Josaphat filius Pharue in Issachar.
18Shimei son of Ela in Benjamin;
18Semei filius Ela in Benjamin.
19Geber son of Uri in the land of Gilead, including the territories of Sihon king of the Amorites and of Og king of Bashan. There was also one governor in the land of Judah.
19Gaber filius Uri in terra Galaad, in terra Sehon regis Amorrhæi et Og regis Basan, super omnia quæ erant in illa terra.
20The people of Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand on the seashore, and they were eating and drinking and rejoicing.
20Juda et Israël innumerabiles, sicut arena maris in multitudine: comedentes, et bibentes, atque lætantes.
21And Solomon reigned over all the kingdoms from the Euphrates to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt. These kingdoms offered tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.
21Salomon autem erat in ditione sua, habens omnia regna a flumine terræ Philisthiim usque ad terminum Ægypti: offerentium sibi munera, et servientium ei cunctis diebus vitæ ejus.
22Solomon’s provisions for a single day were thirty cors of fine flour, sixty cors of meal,
22Erat autem cibus Salomonis per dies singulos triginta cori similæ, et sexaginta cori farinæ,
23ten fat oxen, twenty range oxen, and a hundred sheep, as well as deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fattened poultry.
23decem boves pingues, et viginti boves pascuales, et centum arietes, excepta venatione cervorum, caprearum, atque bubalorum, et avium altilium.
24For Solomon had dominion over everything west of the Euphrates —over all the kingdoms from Tiphsah to Gaza—and he had peace on all sides.
24Ipse enim obtinebat omnem regionem quæ erat trans flumen, a Thaphsa usque ad Gazan, et cunctos reges illarum regionum: et habebat pacem ex omni parte in circuitu.
25Throughout the days of Solomon, Judah and Israel dwelt securely from Dan to Beersheba, each man under his own vine and his own fig tree.
25Habitabatque Juda et Israël absque timore ullo, unusquisque sub vite sua et sub ficu sua, a Dan usque Bersabee, cunctis diebus Salomonis.
26Solomon had 4,000 stalls for his chariot horses and 12,000 horses.
26Et habebat Salomon quadraginta millia præsepia equorum currilium, et duodecim millia equestrium.
27Each month the governors in turn provided food for King Solomon and all who came to his table. They saw to it that nothing was lacking.
27Nutriebantque eos supradicti regis præfecti: sed et necessaria mensæ regis Salomonis cum ingenti cura præbebant in tempore suo.
28Each one also brought to the required place their quotas of barley and straw for the chariot horses and other horses.
28Hordeum quoque, et paleas equorum et jumentorum, deferebant in locum ubi erat rex, juxta constitutum sibi.
29And God gave Solomon wisdom, exceedingly deep insight, and understanding beyond measure, like the sand on the seashore.
29Dedit quoque Deus sapientiam Salomoni, et prudentiam multam nimis, et latitudinem cordis quasi arenam quæ est in littore maris.
30Solomon’s wisdom was greater than that of all the men of the East, greater than all the wisdom of Egypt.
30Et præcedebat sapientia Salomonis sapientiam omnium Orientalium et Ægyptiorum,
31He was wiser than all men—wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, and wiser than Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol. And his fame spread throughout the surrounding nations.
31et erat sapientior cunctis hominibus: sapientior Ethan Ezrahita, et Heman, et Chalcol, et Dorda filiis Mahol: et erat nominatus in universis gentibus per circuitum.
32Solomon composed three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered a thousand and five.
32Locutus est quoque Salomon tria millia parabolas: et fuerunt carmina ejus quinque et mille.
33He spoke of trees, from the cedar in Lebanon to the hyssop growing in the wall, and he taught about animals, birds, reptiles, and fish.
33Et disputavit super lignis a cedro quæ est in Libano, usque ad hyssopum quæ egreditur de pariete: et disseruit de jumentis, et volucribus, et reptilibus, et piscibus.
34So men of all nations came to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, sent by all the kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.
34Et veniebant de cunctis populis ad audiendam sapientiam Salomonis, et ab universis regibus terræ qui audiebant sapientiam ejus.
