    4:3 Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder;

    4:4 and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;

    4:5 and Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers; and Zabud the son of Nathan was chief minister, [and] the king's friend;

    4:6 and Ahishar was over the household; and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the men subject to taskwork.

    4:12 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;

    4:13 Ben-geber, in Ramoth-gilead (to him [pertained] the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead; [even] to him [pertained] the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, threescore great cities with walls and brazen bars);

    4:14 Ahinadab the son of Iddo, in Mahanaim;

    4:15 Ahimaaz, in Naphtali (he also took Basemath the daughter of Solomon to wife);

    4:16 Baana the son of Hushai, in Asher and Bealoth;

    4:17 Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar;

    4:18 Shimei the son of Ela, in Benjamin;

    4:19 Geber the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, the country of Sihon king of the Amorites and of Og king of Bashan; and [he was] the only officer that was in the land.

    4:20 Judah and Israel were many as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and making merry.

    4:21 And Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the River unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt: they brought tribute, and served Solomon all the days of his life.

    4:22 And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal,

    4:23 ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and a hundred sheep, besides harts, and gazelles, and roebucks, and fatted fowl.

    4:24 For he had dominion over all [the region] 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 round about him.

    4:26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

    4:27 And those officers provided victuals for king Solomon, and for all that came unto king Solomon's table, every man in his month; they let nothing be lacking.

    4:28 Barley also and straw for the horses and swift steeds brought they unto the place where [the officers] were, every man according to his charge.

    4:29 And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea-shore.

    4:30 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

    4:31 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 round about.

    4:32 And he spake three thousand proverbs; and his songs were a thousand and five.

    4:33 And he spake of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall; he spake also of beasts, and of birds, and of creeping things, and of fishes.
