1 Kings 4:18-30 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

18. Shim‛i son of Ělah, in Binyamin;

19. Geḇer son of Uri, in the land of Gil‛aḏ, in the land of Siḥon sovereign of the Amorites and of Og̅ sovereign of Bashan, and one governor was in the land.

20. Yehuḏah and Yisra’ĕl were as numerous as the sand by the sea, eating and drinking and rejoicing.

21. And Shelomoh was ruling over all reigns from the River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Mitsrayim. They did taskwork and served Shelomoh all the days of his life.

22. And Shelomoh’s food supply for one day was thirty kors of fine flour, and sixty kors of meal,

23. ten fatted cattle and twenty cattle from the pastures, and one hundred sheep, besides deer, and gazelles, and roebucks, and fatted fowl.

24. For he was ruling over all on this side of the River from Tiphsaḥ even to Azzah, over all the sovereigns on this side of the River. And he had peace on all sides round about him.

25. And Yehuḏah and Yisra’ĕl dwelt safely, each man under his vine and his fig tree, from Dan as far as Be’ĕrsheḇa, all the days of Shelomoh.

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

27. And these governors, each one in his month, provided food for Sovereign Shelomoh and for all who came to the table of Sovereign Shelomoh. There was no lack in their supply.

28. They also brought barley and straw to the appointed place, for the horses and steeds, each one according to his right- ruling.

29. And Elohim gave Shelomoh exceeding great wisdom and understanding, and largeness of heart like the sand on the seashore.

30. And Shelomoh’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the men of the East and all the wisdom of Mitsrayim.
