Ang Kabuganaan kag ang Kaalam ni Solomon

20 Ang kadamuon sang katawhan sang Juda kag Israel daw pareho sa balas sa baybayon nga indi maisip. Bugana ang ila pagkaon kag ilimnon, kag malipayon sila. 21 Si Solomon ang nagadumala sa tanan nga ginharian halin sa Suba sang Eufrates pakadto sa duta sang mga Filistinhon hasta sa dulunan sang Egipto. Ini nga mga ginharian nagabayad sang ila buhis kay Solomon kag nagapasakop sa iya samtang buhi siya.

22 Ang kalan-on nga kinahanglanon ni Solomon sa iya palasyo kada adlaw amo ini: 100 ka sako nga maayo nga klase nga harina, 200 ka sako nga ordinaryo nga harina, 23 10 ka baka nga ginpatambok sa toril, 20 ka baka nga ginbuy-an lang sa palahalban, 100 ka karnero ukon kanding, wala labot sang nagkalain-lain nga klase sang mga usa, kag maayo nga klase sang mga pispis kag mga manok.

24 Sakop ni Solomon ang bug-os nga duta sa nakatundan sang Suba sang Eufrates, halin sa Tifsa hasta sa Gaza. Kag maayo ang iya relasyon sa tanan nga nasyon sa iya palibot. 25 Gani samtang nagakabuhi si Solomon, may kalinong sa Juda kag sa Israel halin sa Dan hasta sa Beersheba. Ang kada tawo nagapungko sa idalom sang iya tanom nga ubas kag kahoy nga higera nga may kalinong.

26 May 40,000[b] ka kuwadra si Solomon para sa iya mga kabayo nga pangkarwahe, kag may 12,000 siya ka manugkabayo.[c] 27 Ang mga gobernador sa mga distrito amo ang nagahatag sang kunsomo ni Haring Solomon kag sang tanan nga ara sa palasyo. Ang kada isa sa ila may turno sa paghatag kada bulan. Ginasiguro gid nila nga mahatag nila ang mga kinahanglanon ni Solomon. 28 Nagahatag man sila sang barley kag kumpay para sa mga kabayo nga pangkarwahe kag sa iban pa nga mga kabayo. Ginadala nila ini sa lugar nga dapat sini dal-an sa tion sang ila turno.

29 Ginhatagan sang Dios si Solomon sang pinasahi nga kaalam kag pag-intiendi, kag ihibalo nga indi matungkad. 30 Ang iya kaalam labaw pa sa kaalam sang tanan nga maalamon sa sidlangan kag sa Egipto. 31 Siya ang pinakamaalam sa tanan. Mas maalam pa siya sang sa kay Etan nga Ezranhon, kag sa mga anak ni Mahol nga sila ni Heman, Calcol, kag Darda. Kag nangin bantog siya sa palibot nga mga nasyon. 32 Naghimo siya sang 3,000 ka hulubaton kag 1,005 ka kanta. 33 Makasugid siya parte sa tanan nga klase sang mga tanom, halin sa dalagko nga mga kahoy hasta sa magagmay nga mga tanom.[d] Makasugid man siya parte sa tanan nga klase sang sapat: ang nagalakat, ang nagakamang, ang nagalupad, kag ang nagalangoy. 34 Nabatian sang tanan nga hari sa kalibutan ang kaalam ni Solomon, gani nagpadala sila sang mga tawo sa pagpamati sa iya kaalam.

Solomon’s Daily Provisions

20 The people of Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand(AD) on the seashore; they ate, they drank and they were happy.(AE) 21 And Solomon ruled(AF) over all the kingdoms from the Euphrates River(AG) to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt.(AH) These countries brought tribute(AI) and were Solomon’s subjects all his life.

22 Solomon’s daily provisions(AJ) were thirty cors[a] of the finest flour and sixty cors[b] of meal, 23 ten head of stall-fed cattle, twenty of pasture-fed cattle and a hundred sheep and goats, as well as deer, gazelles, roebucks and choice fowl.(AK) 24 For he ruled over all the kingdoms west of the Euphrates River, from Tiphsah(AL) to Gaza, and had peace(AM) on all sides. 25 During Solomon’s lifetime Judah and Israel, from Dan to Beersheba,(AN) lived in safety,(AO) everyone under their own vine and under their own fig tree.(AP)

26 Solomon had four[c] thousand stalls for chariot horses,(AQ) and twelve thousand horses.[d]

27 The district governors,(AR) each in his month, supplied provisions for King Solomon and all who came to the king’s table. They saw to it that nothing was lacking. 28 They also brought to the proper place their quotas of barley and straw for the chariot horses and the other horses.

Solomon’s Wisdom

29 God gave Solomon wisdom(AS) and very great insight, and a breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand(AT) on the seashore. 30 Solomon’s wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all the people of the East,(AU) and greater than all the wisdom of Egypt.(AV) 31 He was wiser(AW) than anyone else, including Ethan the Ezrahite—wiser than Heman, Kalkol and Darda, the sons of Mahol. And his fame spread to all the surrounding nations. 32 He spoke three thousand proverbs(AX) and his songs(AY) numbered a thousand and five. 33 He spoke about plant life, from the cedar of Lebanon to the hyssop(AZ) that grows out of walls. He also spoke about animals and birds, reptiles and fish. 34 From all nations people came to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, sent by all the kings(BA) of the world, who had heard of his wisdom.[e]

So king Solomon was king over all Israel.

And these were the princes which he had; Azariah the son of Zadok the priest,

Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder.

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

And Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers: and Zabud the son of Nathan was principal officer, and the king's friend:

And Ahishar was over the household: and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the tribute.

And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, which provided victuals for the king and his household: each man his month in a year made provision.

And these are their names: The son of Hur, in mount Ephraim:

The son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Bethshemesh, and Elonbethhanan:

10 The son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him pertained Sochoh, and all the land of Hepher:

11 The son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; which had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife:

12 Baana the son of Ahilud; to him pertained Taanach and Megiddo, and all Bethshean, which is by Zartanah beneath Jezreel, from Bethshean to Abelmeholah, even unto the place that is beyond Jokneam:

13 The son of Geber, in Ramothgilead; to him pertained the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead; to him also pertained the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, threescore great cities with walls and brasen bars:

14 Ahinadab the son of Iddo had Mahanaim:

15 Ahimaaz was in Naphtali; he also took Basmath the daughter of Solomon to wife:

16 Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher and in Aloth:

17 Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar:

18 Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin:

19 Geber the son of Uri was in the country of Gilead, in the country of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king of Bashan; and he was the only officer which was in the land.

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

21 And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt: they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life.

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

23 Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an hundred sheep, beside harts, and roebucks, and fallowdeer, and fatted fowl.

24 For he had dominion over all the region on this side the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on this side the river: and he had peace on all sides round about him.

25 And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.

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

27 And those officers provided victual for king Solomon, and for all that came unto king Solomon's table, every man in his month: they lacked nothing.

28 Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries brought they unto the place where the officers were, every man according to his charge.

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

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

31 For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations round about.

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

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

34 And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.
