Judah and Israel were numerous, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude; and they ate and drank, and made merry.
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。

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 dominion over all the region on this side the river, from Thiphsach even to Gazzah, over all the kings on this side the river: and he had peace on all sides round about him.

And those superintendents provided for king Solomon, and for all that came near unto king Solomon's table, every man in his month: they let nothing be wanting.
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
The barley also and the straw for the horses and the runners did they bring unto the place where he might be, every man according to his prescription.
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 unto Solomon wisdom and understanding exceedingly much, and largeness of heart, even 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 Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
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; than Ethan the Ezrachite, and Heman, and Kalkol, and Darda', the sons of Machol: and his name was [spread] among all the nations round about.
32 他說過三千句箴言，作的詩歌有一千五百首。
And he spoke three thousand proverbs; and his songs 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 spoke concerning the trees, from the cedar-tree that is on the Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall; he spoke also concerning the beasts, and concerning the fowl, and concerning the creeping things, and concerning the 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 men came from all the people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all the kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.
