20 當時猶大和以色列人數，像海邊的沙粒那麼多；他們有吃有喝，非常快樂。
Juda and Israel were innumerable, as the sand of the sea in multitude: eating and drinking, and rejoicing.
21 [撒羅滿的富貴]由大河直至培肋舍特人地和埃及邊界諸王國，都在撒羅滿統治下；撒羅滿一生歲月中，這些王國都向他進貢，表示臣服。
And Solomon had under him all the kingdoms from the river to the land of the Philistines, even to the border of Egypt: and they brought him presents, and served him, all the days of his life.
22 撒羅滿每月所用的食品﹕細麵十「苛爾，」粗麵六十「苛爾；」
And the provision of Solomon for each day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal,
23 肥牛十隻，牧放的牛二十隻，羊一百隻；此外還有鹿、羚羊、麃子和肥禽。
Ten fat oxen and twenty out of the pastures, and a hundred rams, besides venison of harts, roes, and buffles, and fatted fowls.
24 因為他統治大河西岸全境，從提斐撒到迦薩，大河西岸諸王都屬他權下，於是四鄰邊境都相安無事。
For he had all the country which was beyond the river, from Thaphsa to Gazan, and all the kings of those countries: and he had peace on every side round about.
25 撒羅滿一生歲月中，從丹到貝爾舍巴的猶大和以色列人，都各安居在自己的葡萄樹和無花果樹下。
And Juda and Israel dwelt without any fear, every one under his vine, and under his fig tree, from Dan to Bersabee, all the days of Solomon.
26 撒羅滿有四千廄套車的馬，並有一萬二千匹坐騎。
And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of chariot horses, and twelve thousand for the saddle.
27 那些太守每人各按自己的月份，供應撒羅滿王和所有赴撒羅滿王宴席的人，而一無所缺。
And the foresaid governors of the king fed them: and they furnished the necessaries also for king Solomon’s table, with great care in their time.
28 每人各按所受的命令，將飼養戰馬及駿馬的大麥和草料，送到所指定的地方。撒羅滿的智慧
They brought barley also and straw for the horses, and beasts, to the place where the king was, according as it was appointed them.
29 天主賜給了撒羅滿絕大的智慧和聰明，心胸寬大，有如海邊的沙灘。
And God gave to Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart as the sand that is on the sea shore.
30 撒羅滿的智慧超過所有東方人和埃及人的一切智慧。
And the wisdom of Solomon surpassed the wisdom of all the Orientals, and of the Egyptians,
31 他比所有的人更有智慧﹕比則辣黑人厄堂，比瑪曷耳的兒子赫曼、加耳苛耳和達爾達都更有智慧﹔他的聲譽傳遍周圍列國。
And he was wiser than all men: wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Dorda the sons of Mahol, and he was renowned in all nations round about.
32 他說過三千句箴言，作的詩歌有一千五百首。
Solomon also spoke three thousand parables: and his poems were a thousand and five.
33 他講論過草木，從黎巴嫩山上長的香柏，到牆上寄生的牛膝草﹔也講論過走獸和飛禽，爬蟲和魚類。
And he treated about trees from the cedar that is in Libanus, unto the hyssop that cometh out of the wall: and he discoursed of beasts, and of fowls, and of creeping things, and of fishes.
34 為此，萬民和各國的君王，凡聽說撒羅滿智慧的，都來聽他的智慧。準備建築聖殿
And they came from all nations to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and from all the kings of the earth, who heard of his wisdom.
