20 Rakyat Yehuda dan Israel banyaknya seperti pasir di tepi laut. Mereka mempunyai cukup makanan dan minuman serta hidup senang.
Juda and Israel were innumerable, as the sand of the sea in multitude: eating and drinking, and rejoicing.
21 Setiap keluarga mempunyai kebun anggur dan kebun ara. Seumur hidup Salomo rakyat di seluruh Yehuda dan Israel dari Dan sampai ke Bersyeba hidup aman dan tentram. Sebab, semua raja di sebelah barat Efrat takluk kepadanya, dan semua bangsa dari negara-negara di sekitar kerajaannya bersahabat dengan dia. Tanah di sebelah barat Sungai Efrat dari Tifsah di tepi Sungai Efrat terus ke barat ke kota Gaza di Filistin sampai ke perbatasan Mesir, seluruhnya dikuasai oleh Salomo. Bangsa-bangsa di negeri itu takluk kepadanya dan membayar upeti. Bahan-bahan makanan yang diperlukan oleh Salomo setiap hari adalah 5.000 liter tepung halus, 10.000 liter tepung kasar, 10 sapi kandang, 20 sapi padang, dan 100 domba. Selain itu, juga rusa, kijang, menjangan dan unggas.
And Solomon had under him all the kingdoms from the river to the land of the Philistines, even to the border of Egypt: and they brought him presents, and served him, all the days of his life.
And the provision of Solomon for each day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal,
Ten fat oxen and twenty out of the pastures, and a hundred rams, besides venison of harts, roes, and buffles, and fatted fowls.
For he had all the country which was beyond the river, from Thaphsa to Gazan, and all the kings of those countries: and he had peace on every side round about.
And Juda and Israel dwelt without any fear, every one under his vine, and under his fig tree, from Dan to Bersabee, all the days of Solomon.
26 Salomo mempunyai 12.000 tentara berkuda dan 40.000 kandang untuk kuda-kuda yang menarik kereta-keretanya.
And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of chariot horses, and twelve thousand for the saddle.
27 Secara bergilir, selama sebulan, setiap bupati menyerahkan bahan makanan untuk Raja Salomo dan untuk semua orang yang mendapat makanan dari istana, sehingga mereka tidak kekurangan sesuatu pun.
And the foresaid governors of the king fed them: and they furnished the necessaries also for king Solomon’s table, with great care in their time.
28 Setiap bupati itu memberikan juga gandum dan jerami untuk semua kuda Salomo, baik kuda tunggangan maupun kuda kereta. Makanan hewan itu dibawa ke kandang-kandang kuda sebanyak yang dibutuhkan.
They brought barley also and straw for the horses, and beasts, to the place where the king was, according as it was appointed them.
29 Allah memberikan kepada Salomo hikmat, dan pengetahuan yang luar biasa, serta pengertian yang amat dalam.
And God gave to Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart as the sand that is on the sea shore.
30 Di negeri-negeri timur dan di Mesir tak ada orang yang lebih pandai dari dia.
And the wisdom of Solomon surpassed the wisdom of all the Orientals, and of the Egyptians,
31 Ia benar-benar terpandai dari semua orang. Ia melebihi Etan orang Ezrahi, Heman, Kalkol dan Darda anak-anak Mahol. Nama Salomo terkenal di mana-mana di negeri-negeri sekeliling kerajaannya.
And he was wiser than all men: wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Dorda the sons of Mahol, and he was renowned in all nations round about.
32 Ada 3.000 pepatah dan lebih dari seribu nyanyian yang dikarangnya.
Solomon also spoke three thousand parables: and his poems were a thousand and five.
33 Ia sanggup berbicara tentang pohon-pohon dan tanaman-tanaman--dari pohon cemara Libanon sampai kepada rerumput hisop yang tumbuh pada dinding-dinding batu. Ia berbicara juga mengenai binatang-binatang, seperti misalnya unggas, binatang melata dan ikan.
And he treated about trees from the cedar that is in Libanus, unto the hyssop that cometh out of the wall: and he discoursed of beasts, and of fowls, and of creeping things, and of fishes.
34 Raja-raja di seluruh dunia mendengar tentang kepandaian Salomo sehingga mereka mengutus orang kepadanya untuk mendengarkan dia.
And they came from all nations to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and from all the kings of the earth, who heard of his wisdom.
