1 Kings 4
1 So King Solomon ruled over Israel,
Erat autem rex Salomon regnans super omnem Israel:
2 and these were his chief officials: Azariah son of Zadok was the priest;
et hi principes quos habebat: Azarias filius Sadoc sacerdotis:
3 Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, were secretaries; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
Elihoreph, et Ahia filii Sisa scribæ: Iosaphat filius Ahilud a commentariis:
4 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was in charge of the army; Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
Banaias filius Ioiadæ super exercitum: Sadoc autem, et Abiathar sacerdotes.
5 Azariah son of Nathan was in charge of the governors; Zabud son of Nathan was a priest and adviser to the king;
Azarias filius Nathan super eos qui assistebant regi: Zabud filius Nathan sacerdos, amicus regis:
6 Ahishar was in charge of the palace; and Adoniram son of Abda was in charge of the forced labor.
et Ahisar præpositus domus: et Adoniram filius Abda super tributa.
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,
Habebat autem Salomon duodecim præfectos super omnem Israel, qui præbebant annonam regi et domui eius: per singulos enim menses in anno, singuli necessaria ministrabant.
8 and these were their names: Ben-hur in the hill country of Ephraim;
Et hæc nomina eorum: Benhur, in monte Ephraim.
9 Ben-deker in Makaz, in Shaalbim, in Beth-shemesh, and in Elon-beth-hanan;
Bendecar, in Macces, et in Salebim, et in Bethsames, et in Elon, et in Bethanan.
10 Ben-hesed in Arubboth (Socoh and all the land of Hepher belonged to him);
Benhesed in Aruboth: ipsius erat Socho, et omnis terra Epher.
11 Ben-abinadab in Naphath-dor (Taphath, a daughter of Solomon, was his wife);
Benabinadab, cuius omnis Nephath Dor, Tapheth filiam Salomonis habebat uxorem.
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;
Bana filius Ahilud regebat Thanac et Mageddo, et universam Bethsan, quæ est iuxta Sarthana subter Iezrael, a Bethsan usque Abelmehula e regione Iecmaan.
13 Ben-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);
Bengaber in Ramoth Galaad: habebat Avothiair filii Manasse in Galaad, ipse præerat in omni regione Argob, quæ est in Basan, sexaginta civitatibus magnis atque muratis, quæ habebant seras æreas.
14 Ahinadab son of Iddo in Mahanaim;
Ahinadab filius Addo præerat in Manaim.
15 Ahimaaz in Naphtali (he had married Basemath, a daughter of Solomon);
Achimaas in Nephthali: sed et ipse habebat Basemath filiam Salomonis in coniugio.
16 Baana son of Hushai in Asher and in Aloth;
Baana filius Husi, in Aser, et in Baloth.
17 Jehoshaphat son of Paruah in Issachar;
Iosaphat filius Pharue, in Issachar.
18 Shimei son of Ela in Benjamin;
Semei filius Ela, in Beniamin.
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.
Gaber filius Uri, in terra Galaad, in terra Sehon regis Amorrhæi et Og regis Basan, super omnia quæ erant in illa terra.
20 The people of Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand on the seashore, and they were eating and drinking and rejoicing.
Iuda et Israel innumerabiles, sicut arena maris in multitudine: comedentes, et bibentes, atque lætantes.
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.
Salomon 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 eius.
22 Solomon’s provisions for a single day were thirty cors of fine flour, sixty cors of meal,
Erat autem cibus Salomonis per dies singulos triginta cori similæ, et sexaginta cori farinæ,
23 ten fat oxen, twenty range oxen, and a hundred sheep, as well as deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fattened poultry.
decem boves pingues, et viginti boves pascuales, et centum arietes, excepta venatione cervorum, caprearum, atque bubalorum, et avium altilium.
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.
Ipse 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.
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.
Habitabatque Iuda, et Israel absque timore ullo, unusquisque sub vite sua, et sub ficu sua, a Dan usque Bersabee cunctis diebus Salomonis.
26 Solomon had 4,000 stalls for his chariot horses and 12,000 horses.
Et habebat Salomon quadraginta millia præsepia equorum currilium, et duodecim millia equestrium.
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.
Nutriebantque eos supradicti regis præfecti: sed et necessaria mensæ regis Salomonis cum ingenti cura præbebant in tempore suo.
28 Each one also brought to the required place their quotas of barley and straw for the chariot horses and other horses.
Hordeum quoque, et paleas equorum, et iumentorum deferebant in locum ubi erat rex, iuxta constitutum sibi.
29 And God gave Solomon wisdom, exceedingly deep insight, and understanding beyond measure, like the sand on the seashore.
Dedit quoque Deus sapientiam Salomoni et prudentiam multam nimis, et latitudinem cordis quasi arenam, quæ est in littore maris.
30 Solomon’s wisdom was greater than that of all the men of the East, greater than all the wisdom of Egypt.
Et præcedebat sapientia Salomonis sapientiam omnium Orientalium et Ægyptiorum,
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.
et erat sapientior cunctis hominibus: sapientior Ethan Ezrahita, et Heman, et Chalcol, et Dorda filiis Mahol: et erat nominatus in universis gentibus per circuitum.
32 Solomon composed three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered a thousand and five.
Locutus est quoque Salomon tria millia parabolas: et fuerunt carmina eius quinque et mille.
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.
Et disputavit super lignis a cedro, quæ est in Libano, usque ad hyssopum, quæ egreditur de pariete: et disseruit de iumentis, et volucribus, et reptilibus, et piscibus.
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.
Et veniebant de cunctis populis ad audiendam sapientiam Salomonis, et ab universis regibus terræ, qui audiebant sapientiam eius.
