¹So king Solomon was king over all Israel.

¹[Ny amin'ny mpanao raharaham-panjakana, ary ny voninahitr'i Solomona sy ny fahendreny] Ary nanjaka tamin'ny Isiraely rehetra Solomona mpanjaka.

²And these were the princes which he had; Azariah the son of Zadok the priest,

²Ary izao no lehibe tao aminy: Azaria, zanak'i Zadoka, no mpisorona; [Na: zanak'i Zadoka mpisorona]

³Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder.

³Elihorefa sy Ahia, zanak'i Sisa, no mpanoratra; Josafata. zanak'i Ahiloda, no mpitadidy ny raharaha-mpanjakana;

⁴And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests:

⁴ary Benaia, zanak'i Joiada, no komandin'ny miaramila; ary Zadoka sy Abiatara no mpisorona;

⁵And Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers: and Zabud the son of Nathan was principal officer, and the king's friend:

⁵ary Azaria, zanak'i Natana, no lehiben'ny olona voatendry; ary Zaboda, zanak'i Natana, no mpanolotsaina, sakaizan'ny mpanjaka, [Heb. mpisorona]

⁶And Ahishar was over the household: and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the tribute.

⁶ary Ahisara no lehiben'ny tao an-dapa; ary Adonirama, zanak'i Abda, no komandin'ny mpanao fanompoana.

⁷And 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.

⁷Ary Solomona nanendry roa ambin'ny folo lahy ho amin'ny Isiraely rehetra hiadidy ny zavatra rehetra nilain'ny mpanjaka sy ny ankohonany; samy niadidy ny iray volana avy amin'ny herintaona izy.

⁸And these are their names: The son of Hur, in mount Ephraim:

⁸Ary izao no anarany: Beni-hora tany amin'ny tany havoan'i Efraima;

⁹The son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Bethshemesh, and Elonbethhanan:

⁹Beni-dakera tao Makaza sy tao Salbima sy Beti-semesy ary Elon-beti-hanana;

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

¹⁰Beni-haseda tao Arobota; Soko sy ny tany Hefera rehetra no azy;

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

¹¹Ben'abinadaba tao amin'ny havoan'i Dora rehetra (Tafata, zanakavavin'i Solomona, no vadiny);

¹²Baana 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:

¹²Bana, zanak'i Ahiloda; azy Tanaka sy Megido ary Beti-sana rehetra, izay anilan'i Zaretana, ambanin'i Jezirela, hatrany Beti-sana ka hatrany Abela-mehola, dia hatrany ankoatr'i Jokneama no azy.

¹³The 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 brazen bars:

¹³Beni-gabera tao Ramota-gileada; ny tanàna madinika an'i Jaïra, zanak'i Manase, izay any Gileada, no azy; azy koa ny tany Argoba, izay any Basana, dia tanana enim-polo lehibe nisy manda sy hidy varahina; [Havota-jaïra; izahao Nom. xxxii. 41]

¹⁴Ahinadab the son of Iddo had Mahanaim:

¹⁴Ahinadaba, zanak'Ido, tany Mahanaima;

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

¹⁵Ahimaza tany Naftaly; izy kosa nanambady an'i Basemata, zanakavavin'i Solomona;

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

¹⁶Bana, zanak'i Hosay, tany Asera sy Alota;

¹⁸Simey, zanak'i Ela, tany Benjamina;

¹⁹Geber 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.

¹⁹Gabera, zanak'i Ory, tany amin'ny tany Gileada, tanin'i Sihona, mpanjakan'ny Amorita, sy Oga, mpanjakan'i Basana; ary izy ihany no voatendry ho amin'izany tany izany.Ary ny Joda sy ny Isiraely dia maro, tahaka ny fasika amoron-dranomasina ny hamarony, sady mihinana sy misotro ary mifaly.

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

²⁰Ary ny Joda sy ny Isiraely dia maro, tahaka ny fasika amoron-dranomasina ny hamarony, sady mihinana sy misotro ary mifaly.

²¹And 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.

²²And Solomon's 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 fallowdeer, and fatted fowl.

²⁴For 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.

²⁵And 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.

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

²⁷And 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.

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

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

³¹For 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.

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

³³And 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.

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