1 So king Solomon was king over all Israel.

2 And these were the princes which he had; Azariah the son of Zadok the priest,
-
3 Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder.
-
4 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests:
-
5 And Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers: and Zabud the son of Nathan was principal officer, and the king's friend:
-
6 And Ahishar was over the household: and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the tribute.
-
7 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.
-
8 And these are their names: The son of Hur, in mount Ephraim:
-
9 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.
