7 Solomon 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,
Fremdeles havde Salomo tolv Fogeder over hele Israel, som skulde sørge for Kongens og Hoffets Underhold, hver af dem en Maaned om Aaret.
8 and these were their names: Ben-hur in the hill country of Ephraim;
Deres Navne var: Hurs Søn i Efraims Bjerge;

10 Ben-hesed in Arubboth (Socoh and all the land of Hepher belonged to him);

11 Ben-abinadab in Naphath-dor (Taphath, a daughter of Solomon, was his wife);
Abinadabs Søn havde hele Dors Højland; han var gift med Salomos Datter Tafat;
12 Baana 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;

18 Shimei son of Ela in Benjamin;
Sjim'i, Elas Søn, i Benjamin;
19 Geber 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.
Geber, Uris Søn, i Gads Land, det Land, der havde tilhørt Amoriterkongen Sihon og Kong Og af Basan; der var kun een Foged i det Land.
20 The people of Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand on the seashore, and they were eating and drinking and rejoicing.
Juda og Israel var talrige, saa talrige som Sandet ved Havet, og de spiste og drak og var glade.
21 And 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.
Og Salomo herskede over alle Rigerne fra Floden til Filisternes Land og Ægyptens Grænse og de bragte Gaver og tjente Salomo, saa længe han levede.
22 Solomon’s provisions for a single day were thirty cors of fine flour, sixty cors of meal,
Salomos daglige Behov af Levnedsmidler var tredive Kor fint Hvedemel og tresindstyve Kor almindeligt Mel,
23 ten fat oxen, twenty range oxen, and a hundred sheep, as well as deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fattened poultry.
ti Stykker Fedekvæg, tyve Stykker Græskvæg og hundrede Stykker Smaakvæg foruden Hjorte, Gazeller, Antiloper og fede Gæs.
24 For Solomon had dominion over everything west of the Euphrates —over all the kingdoms from Tiphsah to Gaza—and he had peace on all sides.
Thi han herskede over hele Landet hinsides Floden, fra Tifsa til Gaza, over alle Kongerne hinsides Floden, og han havde Fred rundt om til alle Sider;
25 Throughout the days of Solomon, Judah and Israel dwelt securely from Dan to Beersheba, each man under his own vine and his own fig tree.
og Juda og Israel boede trygt, saa længe Salomo levede, hver Mand under sin Vinstok og sit Figentræ, fra Dan til Be'ersjeba.
26 Solomon had 4,000 stalls for his chariot horses and 12,000 horses.
Og Salomo havde 40 000 Spand Heste til sit Vognhold og 12 000 Ryttere.
27 Each 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.
Og de nævnte Fogeder sørgede for Underhold til Kong Salomo og alle, der havde Adgang til hans Bord, hver i sin Maaned, og de lod det ikke skorte paa noget;
28 Each one also brought to the required place their quotas of barley and straw for the chariot horses and other horses.
og Byggen og Straaet til Hestene og Forspandene bragte de til det Sted, hvor han var, efter som Turen kom til hver enkelt.
29 And God gave Solomon wisdom, exceedingly deep insight, and understanding beyond measure, like the sand on the seashore.
Gud skænkede Salomo Visdom og Kløgt i saare rigt Maal og en omfattende Forstand, som Sandet ved Havets Bred,
30 Solomon’s wisdom was greater than that of all the men of the East, greater than all the wisdom of Egypt.
saa at Salomos Visdom var større end alle Østerlændingenes og alle Ægypternes Visdom.
31 He 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.
Han var visere end alle andre, ja visere end Ezraiten Etan og visere end Heman, Kalkol og Darda, Mahols Sønner, og hans Ry naaede ud til alle Folkeslag rundt om.
32 Solomon composed three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered a thousand and five.
Han fremsagde 3000 Tankesprog, og Tallet paa hans Sange var 1005.
33 He spoke of trees, from the cedar in Lebanon to the hyssop growing in the wall, and he taught about animals, birds, reptiles, and fish.
Han talte om Træerne lige fra Cederen paa Libanon til Ysopen, der vokser frem af Muren; og han talte om Dyrene, Fuglene, Krybdyrene og Fiskene.
34 So 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.
Fra alle Folkeslag kom man for at lytte til Salomos Visdom, fra alle Jordens Konger, der hørte om hans Visdom.
