1 Kings 4:1‑34• 1And king Solomon was king over all Israel.
2And these are the princes whom he had: Azariah the son of Zadok was priest;
3Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, chronicler;
4and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
5and Azariah the son of Nathan was over the superintendents; and Zabud the son of Nathan was principal officer, the king's friend;
6and Ahishar was over the household; and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the levy-service.
7And Solomon had twelve superintendents over all Israel; and they provided food for the king and his household: each man his month in the year had to make provision.
8And these are their names: Ben-Hur, in mount Ephraim.
9Ben-Deker in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Beth-shemesh, and Elon-Beth-hanan.
10Ben-Hesed, in Arubboth; he had Sochoh, and all the land of Hepher.
11Ben-Abinadab had all the upland of Dor; Taphath the daughter of Solomon was his wife.
12Baana the son of Ahilud had Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean, which is by Zaretan beneath Jizreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-Meholah, as far as beyond Jokneam.
13Ben-Geber, in Ramoth-Gilead; he had the villages of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead; he had the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great cities with walls and bars of bronze.
14Ahinadab the son of Iddo, at Mahanaim.
15Ahimaaz, in Nephtali; he also took Basmath the daughter of Solomon as wife.
16Baanah the son of Hushai, in Asher and in Aloth.
17Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar.
18Shimei the son of Ela, in Benjamin.
19Geber the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, the land of Sihon the king of the Amorites, and of Og the king of Bashan; and he was the only superintendent that was in the land.
20Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and making merry.
21And Solomon ruled over all kingdoms from the river to the land of the Philistines, and as far as the border of Egypt: they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life.
22And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and sixty measures of meal,
23ten fatted oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and a hundred sheep, besides harts, and gazelles, and fallow-deer, and fatted fowl.
24For he had dominion over all on this side the river, from Tiphsah as far as Gazah, over all the kings on this side the river; and he had peace on all sides round about.
25And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig-tree, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, all the days of Solomon.
26And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
27And those officers provided food for king Solomon, and for all who came to king Solomon's table, every man in his month: they let nothing be wanting.
28And the barley, and the straw for the horses and coursers, they brought to the place where the superintendents were, every man according to his charge.
29And God gave Solomon wisdom and very great understanding and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea-shore.
30And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the sons of the east, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
31For 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.
32And he spoke three thousand proverbs; and his songs were a thousand and five.
33And he spoke of the trees, from the cedar-tree that is on Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall; he spoke also of cattle, and of fowls, and of creeping things, and of fishes.
34And there came of all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom. (1 Kings 4:1‑34)
1 Chron. 12:1‑40• 1Now these are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he kept still close because of Saul the son of Kish; and they were among the mighty men who helped him in the conflict;
2armed with bows, using both the right hand and the left with stones and with arrows on the bow; they were of Saul's brethren of Benjamin:
3the chief Ahiezer, and Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; and Berachah, and Jehu the Anathothite,
4and Jishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Jozabad the Gederathite.
5Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite;
6Elkanah, and Jishijah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korahites;
7and Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
8And of the Gadites, there separated themselves to David in the stronghold in the wilderness mighty men of valour, men fit for the service of war, armed with shield and spear; whose faces were like the faces of lions, and who were swift as the gazelles upon the mountains:
9Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
10Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
11Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
12Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
13Jeremiah the tenth, Machbannai the eleventh.
14These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least was over a hundred, and the greatest over a thousand.
15These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it overflows all its banks, and they put to flight all them of the valleys, toward the east and toward the west.
16And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the stronghold to David.
17And David went out to meet them, and answered and said to them, If ye come peaceably to me to help me, my heart shall be knit unto you; but if to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in my hands, the God of our fathers see it and rebuke it.
18And the Spirit came upon Amasai, the chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, David, And with thee, thou son of Jesse: Peace, peace be to thee! And peace be to thy helpers! For thy God helps thee. And David received them, and made them chiefs of bands.
19And there fell some of Manasseh to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they helped them not; for the lords of the Philistines upon deliberation sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master Saul at the peril of our heads.
20As he went away to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh: Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zilthai, captains of the thousands that were of Manasseh.
21And they helped David in his expeditions; for they were all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host.
22For day by day there came men to David to help him, until it was a great camp, like the camp of God.
23And this is the number of the men equipped for military service, who came to David to Hebron, to transfer the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of Jehovah.
24The children of Judah that bore shield and spear were six thousand eight hundred, equipped for military service.
25Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valour for war, seven thousand one hundred.
26Of the children of Levi four thousand six hundred.
27And Jehoiada the prince of Aaron, and with him were three thousand seven hundred;
28and Zadok, a valiant young man, and his father's house two and twenty chief men.
29And of the children of Benjamin, the brethren of Saul, three thousand; but hitherto the greater part of them had adhered to the house of Saul.
30And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand eight hundred, mighty men of valour, men of name in their fathers' houses.
31And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, who were expressed by name, to come and make David king.
32And of the children of Issachar, who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their bidding.
33Of Zebulun, such as went forth in the host, armed for war with all weapons of war, fifty thousand, keeping rank without double heart.
34And of Naphtali a thousand captains, and with them thirty-seven thousand with shield and spear.
35And of the Danites armed for war twenty-eight thousand six hundred.
36And of Asher such as went forth in the host, to set themselves in battle array, forty thousand.
37And from the other side of the Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of the half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of weapons of war for battle, a hundred and twenty thousand.
38All of them men of war, keeping rank in battle array, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel; and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king.
39And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking; for their brethren had prepared for them;
40and those too that were near them, as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought food on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen; provisions of meal, fig-cakes and raisin-cakes, and wine and oil, and oxen and sheep, abundantly; for there was joy in Israel. (1 Chron. 12:1‑40)
