21 And Solomon was ruler over all the kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines, and as far as the edge of Egypt; men gave him offerings and were his servants all the days of his life.
Og Salomo var en Herre over alle Rigerne fra Floden til Filisternes Land og indtil Ægyptens Landemærke; de bragte ham Skænk og tjente Salomo alle hans Livsdage.
22 And the amount of Solomon's food for one day was thirty measures of crushed grain and sixty measures of meal;

Og Byg og Straa til Kørehestene og til Ridehestene førte de hen til det Sted, hvor det skulde være, hver efter Anvisningen.
29 And God gave Solomon a great store of wisdom and good sense, and a mind of wide range, as wide as the sand by the seaside.
Og Gud gav Salomo Visdom og saare megen Indsigt og en omfattende Forstand, som Sand, der er ved Havets Bred.
30 And Solomon's wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all the people of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt.
