SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:7

Y tenía Salomón doce gobernadores sobre todo Israel, los cuales mantenían al rey y a su casa. Cada uno de ellos estaba obligado a abastecer por un mes en el año.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 4:7

Verse 7. Twelve officers] The business of these twelve officers was to
provide daily, each for a month, those provisions which were consumed in the king's household; see ver. 22, 23. And the task for such a daily provision was not an easy one.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 7. And
Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel , etc.] Not with respect to the twelve tribes of Israel, for it does not appear that they had each of them a tribe under them, but some particular places in a tribe; but with respect to the twelve months of the year, in which each took his turn: which provided victuals for the king and his household: each man his month in a year made provision ; furnished food of all sorts out of the country in which they presided for the space of one month in a year; by which means there was always a plenty of provisions at court for the king’s family, and for all strangers that came and went, and no one part of the land was burdened or drained, nor the price of provisions raised; these seem to be the twelve “phylarchi”, or governors of tribes, Eupolemus f44 , an Heathen writer, speaks of, before whom, and the high priest, David delivered the kingdom to Solomon; though in that he was mistaken, that they were in being then, since these were officers of Solomon’s creating.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-19 - In the choice of the great officers of
Solomon's court, no doubt, his wisdom appeared. Several are the same that were in his father's time. plan was settled by which no part of the country was exhausted to supply his court, though each sent its portion.
