1 Kings 4
1 King Solomon was king over all Israel.
Erat autem rex Salomon regnans super omnem Israël:

et hi principes quos habebat: Azarias filius Sadoc sacerdotis:
3 Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder;

4 and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the army; and Zadok and Abiathar were cohanim;
Banaias filius Jojadæ super exercitum: Sadoc autem et Abiathar sacerdotes:
5 and Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers; and Zabud the son of Nathan was chief minister, the king's friend;
Azarias filius Nathan super eos qui assistebant regi: Zabud filius Nathan sacerdos, amicus regis:
6 and Ahishar was over the palace; and Eliab son of Joab was over the army; and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the men subject to forced labor.
et Ahisar præpositus domus: et Adoniram filius Abda super tributa.
7 Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided food for the king and his household: each man had to make provision for a month in the year.
Habebat autem Salomon duodecim præfectos super omnem Israël, qui præbebant annonam regi et domui ejus: per singulos enim menses in anno, singuli necessaria ministrabant.
8 These are their names: Ben Hur, in the hill country of Ephraim;

12 Baana the son of Ahilud, in Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth Shean which is beside Zarethan, beneath Jezreel, from Beth Shean to Abel Meholah, as far as beyond Jokmeam;

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 were many as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and making merry.
Juda et Israël innumerabiles, sicut arena maris in multitudine: comedentes, et bibentes, atque lætantes.
21 And Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms, from the River, and to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt. They brought 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 ejus.
22 Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and sixty measures of meal,
Erat autem cibus Salomonis per dies singulos triginta cori similæ, et sexaginta cori farinæ,
23 ten head of fat cattle, and twenty head of cattle out of the pastures, and one hundred sheep, besides deer, and gazelles, and roebucks, and fattened fowl.
decem boves pingues, et viginti boves pascuales, et centum arietes, excepta venatione cervorum, caprearum, atque bubalorum, et avium altilium.
24 For he had dominion over all on this side the River, from Tiphsah even to Gaza, over all the kings on this side the River: and he had peace on all sides around him.
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 Judah and Israel lived safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.
Habitabatque Juda et Israël absque timore ullo, unusquisque sub vite sua et sub ficu sua, a Dan usque Bersabee, cunctis diebus Salomonis.
26 And Solomon had four thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
Et habebat Salomon quadraginta millia præsepia equorum currilium, et duodecim millia equestrium.
27 Those officers provided food for king Solomon, and for all who came to king Solomon's table, every man in his month; they let nothing be lacking.
Nutriebantque eos supradicti regis præfecti: sed et necessaria mensæ regis Salomonis cum ingenti cura præbebant in tempore suo.
28 And they also brought barley and straw for the horses and the steeds to the place where the officers were, every man according to his duty.
Hordeum quoque, et paleas equorum et jumentorum, deferebant in locum ubi erat rex, juxta constitutum sibi.
29 God gave Solomon wisdom and exceptional insight, and very great understanding, even as the sand that is 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 excelled the wisdom of all the people of the east, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
Et præcedebat sapientia Salomonis sapientiam omnium Orientalium et Ægyptiorum,
31 For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all the nations all 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 He spoke three thousand proverbs; and his songs were one thousand five.
Locutus est quoque Salomon tria millia parabolas: et fuerunt carmina ejus quinque et mille.
33 He spoke of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall; he spoke also of animals, and of birds, and of crawling creatures, and of fish.
Et disputavit super lignis a cedro quæ est in Libano, usque ad hyssopum quæ egreditur de pariete: et disseruit de jumentis, et volucribus, et reptilibus, et piscibus.
34 There came of all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all 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 ejus.
