1So king Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] was king over all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]. 2And these [were] the princes which he had; ‘Azaryah [Yehovah has helped] the son of Tzadok [righteous] the priest, 3Elichoref [God of winter (harvest time)] and Achiyah [brother of Yehovah], the sons of Shisha [Yehovah contends], scribes; Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged] the son of Achilud [child’s brother], the recorder. 4And B’nayahu [Yehovah has built] the son of Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows] [was] over the host: and Tzadok [righteous] and Avyatar [my father is great] [were] the priests: 5And ‘Azaryah [Yehovah has helped] the son of Natan [giver] [was] over the officers: and Zavud [given] the son of Natan [giver] [was] principal officer, [and] the king's friend: 6And Achishar [my brother sang] [was] over the household: and Adoniram [my lord is exalted] the son of ‘Avda [servant of Yehovah] [was] over the tribute.

7And Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] had twelve officers over all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], which provided victuals (food for humans) for the king and his household: each man his month in a year made provision. 8And these [are] their names: The son of Hur [Liberty], in mount Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful]: 9The son of Deker [son of stabbing], in Makatz [end], and in Sha’alvim [Place of Foxes], and Beit-Shemesh [House of the Sun], and Eilon-Beit-Hanan [oak of the house of grace]: 10The son of Hesed [son of mercy], in Arubot [windows]; to him [pertained] Sokhoh [bushy], and all the land of Hefer [A Well]: 11The son of Avinadav [my father is noble], in all the region of Dor [Generation]; which had Tafat [ornament] the daughter of Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] to wife: 12Ba’ana [in the affliction] the son of Achilud [child’s brother]; [to him pertained] Ta’anakh [Sandy] and Megiddo [Place of Crowds], and all Beit-Sh’an [House of Ease], which [is] by Tzartan [their distress] beneath Yizre’el [God Sows], from Beit-Sh’an [House of Ease] to Avel-M’cholah [Meadow of Dancing], [even] unto [the place that is] beyond Yokne’am [The People Lament]: 13The son of Gever [the Son of man], in Ramot-Gil’ad [rocky region]; to him [pertained] the towns of Ya’ir [He Enlightens] the son of M’nasheh [Causing to Forget], which [are] in Gil’ad [Rocky Region]; to him [also pertained] the region of Argov [Heap of Clods], which [is] in Bashan [Fruitful], threescore great cities with walls and brazen bars: 14Ahinadav [Generous] the son of ‘Iddo [His witness] [had] Machanayim [Two Camps]: 15Achima’atz [my brother is anger (wrath)] [was] in Naftali [My Wrestling]; he also took Basmat [spice] the daughter of Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] to wife: 16Ba’anah [in affliction] the son of Hushai [hasting] [was] in Asher [Happy] and in Alot [mistresses]: 17Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged] the son of Paruach [sprout], in Yissakhar [There Is Recompense]: 18Shime’i [Fame] the son of Elah [an oak], in Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength]: 19Gever [the Son of man] the son of Uri [my light, my fire] [was] in the country of Gil’ad [Rocky Region], [in] the country of Sichon [Warrior] king of the Emori [Highlanders], and of ‘Og [Long-necked] king of Bashan [Fruitful]; and [he was] the only officer which [was] in the land.

20Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] [were] many, as the sand which [is] by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry.

21And Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] reigned over all kingdoms from the river unto the land of the P’lishtim [Immigrants], and unto the border of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place]: they brought presents, and served Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] all the days of his life.

22And Shlomo’s (Solomon) [peace] provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal, 23Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an hundred sheep, beside harts, and roebucks, and fallow (to approve, commend, accept) deer, and fatted fowl. 24For he had dominion over all [the region] on this side the river, from Tifsach [cross over] even to ‘Azah [The Strong], over all the kings on this side the river: and he had peace on all sides round about him. 25And Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan [Judge] even to Be’er-sheva [Well of the sevenfold Oath], all the days of Shlomo (Solomon) [peace]. 26And Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. 27And those officers provided victual for king Shlomo (Solomon) [peace], and for all that came unto king Shlomo’s (Solomon) [peace] table, every man in his month: they lacked nothing. 28Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries brought they unto the place where [the officers] were, every man according to his charge.

29And God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] gave Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that [is] on the sea shore. 30And Shlomo’s (Solomon) [peace] wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place]. 31For he was wiser than all men; than Eitan [enduring] the Ezrachi [a native (as arising out of the soil)], and Heiman [faithful], and Kalkol [sustaining], and Darda [pearl of knowledge], the sons of Machol [dancing]: and his fame was in all nations round about. 32And he spoke three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five. 33And he spoke of trees, from the cedar tree that [is] in L’vanon [Whiteness] even unto the hyssop that springs out of the wall: he spoke also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes. 34And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Shlomo (Solomon) [peace], from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.
