1 Kings 4
1 And so it came to pass, that, King Solomon, was king, over all Israel.
Erat autem rex Salomon regnans super omnem Israel:
2 Now, these, were his chief officers of state, —Azariah son of Zadok, the priest;
et hi principes quos habebat: Azarias filius Sadoc sacerdotis:
3 Elihoreph and Ahijah, sons of Shisha, scribes, —Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud, the recorder;
Elihoreph, et Ahia filii Sisa scribæ: Iosaphat filius Ahilud a commentariis:
4 And Benaiah son of Jehoiada, over the army, —and Zadok and Abiathar priests;
Banaias filius Ioiadæ super exercitum: Sadoc autem, et Abiathar sacerdotes.
5 And Azariah son of Nathan, over the governors, —and Zabud son of Nathan, minister, king’s friend;
Azarias filius Nathan super eos qui assistebant regi: Zabud filius Nathan sacerdos, amicus regis:
6 And Ahishar, over the household, —and Adoniram son of Abda, over the tribute.
et Ahisar præpositus domus: et Adoniram filius Abda super tributa.
7 And, Solomon, had twelve governors over all Israel, who used to sustain the king and his household, —for a month in the year, was it appointed unto each one, to find sustenance.
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, are their names, Ben-hur, in the hill country of Ephraim;
Et hæc nomina eorum: Benhur, in monte Ephraim.
9 Ben-deker, in Makaz and in Shaalbim and Beth-shemesh, —and Elon-beth-hanan;
Bendecar, in Macces, et in Salebim, et in Bethsames, et in Elon, et in Bethanan.
10 Ben-hesed, in Arubboth, —to him, pertaineth Socoh, and all the land of Hepher;
Benhesed in Aruboth: ipsius erat Socho, et omnis terra Epher.
11 Ben-abinadab, all the height of Dor, —Taphath daughter of Solomon, had he to wife;
Benabinadab, cuius omnis Nephath Dor, Tapheth filiam Salomonis habebat uxorem.
12 Baana son of Ahilud, in Taanach, and Megiddo, —and all Beth-shean which is beside Zarethan, beneath Jezreel, from Beth-shean as far as Abel-meholah, as far as over against 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, —to him, belonged the towns of Jair, son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead, his, was the region of Argob which is in Bashan, sixty great cities, with walls and with bars of bronze;
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, towards Mahanaim;
Ahinadab filius Addo præerat in Manaim.
15 Ahimaaz, in Naphtali, —moreover, he, took Basemath daughter of Solomon, to wife;
Achimaas in Nephthali: sed et ipse habebat Basemath filiam Salomonis in coniugio.
16 Banna 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, —the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, being, the one governor, that was in the land.
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 that is by the sea, for multitude, —eating and drinking, and rejoicing.
Iuda et Israel innumerabiles, sicut arena maris in multitudine: comedentes, et bibentes, atque lætantes.
21 And, Solomon, became ruler over all the kingdoms, from the River [even unto] the land of the Philistines, and as far as the boundary of Egypt, —and these were bringing presents, and serving 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 And it came to pass, that 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 fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and a hundred sheep, —besides harts, and gazelles, and roebucks, and fatted 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 as far as Gaza, over all the kings on this side the River, —and he had, peace, on all sides of him, round about.
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 And Judah and Israel dwelt securely, every man under his own vine, and under his own fig-tree, from Dan even unto Beer-sheba, —all the days of Solomon.
Habitabatque Iuda, et Israel absque timore ullo, unusquisque sub vite sua, et sub ficu sua, a Dan usque Bersabee cunctis diebus Salomonis.
26 And it came to pass that, Solomon, had forty thousand stalls of horses, for his chariots, —and twelve thousand horsemen.
Et habebat Salomon quadraginta millia præsepia equorum currilium, et duodecim millia equestrium.
27 And these governors provided sustenance for King Solomon, and for all that drew near unto the table of King Solomon, every man in his month, —they let, nought, be lacking.
Nutriebantque eos supradicti regis præfecti: sed et necessaria mensæ regis Salomonis cum ingenti cura præbebant in tempore suo.
28 Barley also and crushed straw, for the horses and for the swift beasts, brought they in unto the place where it should be, every man according to his charge.
Hordeum quoque, et paleas equorum, et iumentorum deferebant in locum ubi erat rex, iuxta constitutum sibi.
29 And God gave wisdom unto Solomon, and discernment, and very great largeness of heart, —like the sand that is on the shore of the sea:
Dedit quoque Deus sapientiam Salomoni et prudentiam multam nimis, et latitudinem cordis quasi arenam, quæ est in littore maris.
30 so that, the wisdom of Solomon, excelled, the wisdom of all the sons of the East, —and all the wisdom of the Egyptians,
Et præcedebat sapientia Salomonis sapientiam omnium Orientalium et Ægyptiorum,
31 so that he was wiser than any man—than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman and Calcol and Darda, sons of Mahol, —and it came to pass that, his name, was throughout all the nations round about.
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 And he spake three thousand proverbs, —and it came to pass that, his songs, were a thousand and five.
Locutus est quoque Salomon tria millia parabolas: et fuerunt carmina eius quinque et mille.
33 And he discoursed of trees—from the cedar that is in Lebanon, even unto the hyssop, that springeth out in the wall, —and he discoursed of beasts and of birds, and of creeping things, and of fishes.
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 And there came in, of all the peoples, to hear the wisdom of Solomon—of all the kings of the earth, who heard his wisdom.
Et veniebant de cunctis populis ad audiendam sapientiam Salomonis, et ab universis regibus terræ, qui audiebant sapientiam eius.
