et Ahisar præpositus domus: et Adoniram filius Abda super tributa.
7 Solomon had twelve area governors whose responsibilities covered the whole of Israel, providing food for the king and his household. Each one in turn arranged supplies 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.

Gaber filius Uri, in terra Galaad, in terra Sehon regis Amorrhæi et Og regis Basan, super omnia quæ erant in illa terra.
20 Judah and Israel had become as numerous as the sand on the seashore. They ate, they drank, they were happy.
Iuda et Israel innumerabiles, sicut arena maris in multitudine: comedentes, et bibentes, atque lætantes.
21 Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, right up to the border of Egypt. They presented tribute to Solomon and served him during his lifetime.
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 The food required every day for Solomon's court was thirty cors of the best flour and sixty cors of meal;
Erat autem cibus Salomonis per dies singulos triginta cori similæ, et sexaginta cori farinæ,
23 ten fattened cattle, twenty range cattle, one hundred sheep, as well as deer, gazelles, roe deer, 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 ruled over the whole region west of the Euphrates, from Tiphsah to Gaza—over all the kingdoms west of the Euphrates. And he had peace on all sides around him. He had peace on every border.
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 During Solomon's lifetime, everyone in Judah and Israel lived in safety, from Dan to Beersheba. Each one had their own vine and 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 40,000 stalls for his chariot horses, and 12,000 charioteers.
Et habebat Salomon quadraginta millia præsepia equorum currilium, et duodecim millia equestrium.
27 Every month the area governors provided in turn food for King Solomon and all who ate at his table. They made sure that nothing was missing.
Nutriebantque eos supradicti regis præfecti: sed et necessaria mensæ regis Salomonis cum ingenti cura præbebant in tempore suo.
28 They also delivered barley and straw where they were needed for the chariot horses and cart-horses.
Hordeum quoque, et paleas equorum, et iumentorum deferebant in locum ubi erat rex, iuxta constitutum sibi.
29 God gave to Solomon wisdom, very great discernment, and understanding as extensive as 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 Eastern wise men, greater than all of Egypt's wisdom.
Et præcedebat sapientia Salomonis sapientiam omnium Orientalium et Ægyptiorum,
31 He was wiser than anyone, wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, wiser than Heman, Calcol, and Darda, sons of Mahol. His reputation spread through the nations around.
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 one thousand and five songs.
Locutus est quoque Salomon tria millia parabolas: et fuerunt carmina eius quinque et mille.
33 He was able to discuss knowledge of trees, from the cedar in Lebanon to the hyssop that grows in the wall. 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 People from all nations came to hear Solomon's wisdom. They were sent by all the kings of the earth, who had heard about his wisdom.
Et veniebant de cunctis populis ad audiendam sapientiam Salomonis, et ab universis regibus terræ, qui audiebant sapientiam eius.
