7 撒羅滿另立了十二太守管理全以色列，供應君王和王室的食糧；一年之中每人供應一個月。
And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided food for the king and his household: each man his month in a year made provision.

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。
Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making 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。
And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt: they brought presents, and served Solomon 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 Solomon’s provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and sixty 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 oxen out of the pastures, and an hundred sheep, besides harts, and roebucks, and fallowdeer, 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 dominion over all the region on this side the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on this side of the river: and he had peace on all sides around him.
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 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 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 horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
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 those officers provided food for king Solomon, and for all that came to king Solomon’s table, every man in his month: they lacked nothing.
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
Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries they brought to the place where the officers were, every man according to his charge.
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 Solomon great wisdom and understanding, 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。
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 the surrounding nations.
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 of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even to the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spoke also 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 there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.
