[撒羅滿的富貴]由大河直至培肋舍特人地和埃及邊界諸王國，都在撒羅滿統治下；撒羅滿一生歲月中，這些王國都向他進貢，表示臣服。
22 And the provision of Solomon for one day is thirty cors of flour, and sixty cors of meal;

24 for he is ruling over all beyond the river, from Tiphsah and unto Gaza, over all the kings beyond the river, and he hath peace from all his servants round about.
因為他統治大河西岸全境，從提斐撒到迦薩，大河西岸諸王都屬他權下，於是四鄰邊境都相安無事。
25 And Judah dwelleth — and Israel — in confidence, each under his vine, and under his fig-tree, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, all the days of Solomon.

28 And the barley and the straw, for horses and for dromedaries, they bring in unto the place where they are, each according to his ordinance.
每人各按所受的命令，將飼養戰馬及駿馬的大麥和草料，送到所指定的地方。撒羅滿的智慧
29 And God giveth wisdom to Solomon, and understanding, very much, and breadth of heart, as the sand that [is] on the edge of the sea;
天主賜給了撒羅滿絕大的智慧和聰明，心胸寬大，有如海邊的沙灘。
30 and the wisdom of Solomon is greater than the wisdom of any of the sons of the east, and than all the wisdom of Egypt;
撒羅滿的智慧超過所有東方人和埃及人的一切智慧。
31 and he is wiser than all men, than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, sons of Mahol, and his name is in all the nations round about.
他比所有的人更有智慧﹕比則辣黑人厄堂，比瑪曷耳的兒子赫曼、加耳苛耳和達爾達都更有智慧﹔他的聲譽傳遍周圍列國。
32 And he speaketh three thousand similes, and his songs [are] five, and the chief one;
他說過三千句箴言，作的詩歌有一千五百首。
33 and he speaketh concerning the trees, from the cedar that [is] in Lebanon, even unto the hyssop that is coming out in the wall, and he speaketh concerning the cattle, and concerning the fowl, and concerning the creeping things, and concerning the fishes,
他講論過草木，從黎巴嫩山上長的香柏，到牆上寄生的牛膝草﹔也講論過走獸和飛禽，爬蟲和魚類。
34 and there come out of all the peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth who have heard of his wisdom.
為此，萬民和各國的君王，凡聽說撒羅滿智慧的，都來聽他的智慧。準備建築聖殿
