Chapter 4.

00:02.180 --> 00:07.660
So King Solomon was king over all Israel,
and these were the princes which he had.

00:08.720 --> 00:14.080
Azariah the son of Zadok the priest,
Elahoreth and Ahiah the sons of Shysha

00:14.080 --> 00:21.740
scribes, Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud the
recorder, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada

00:21.740 --> 00:26.140
was over the host, and Zadok and Abiathar
were the priests.

00:27.260 --> 00:32.880
And Azariah the son of Nathan was over the
officers, and Zebud the son of Nathan was

00:32.880 --> 00:38.140
principal officer and the king's friend,
and Ahisha was over the household,

00:39.040 --> 00:41.700
and Adoniram the son of Abder was over the
tribute.

00:43.080 --> 00:47.840
And Solomon had twelve officers over all
Israel which provided vittles for the king

00:47.840 --> 00:48.520
and his household.

00:49.300 --> 00:51.280
Each man his month in a year made
provision.

00:52.160 --> 00:58.820
And these are their names, the son of Hur
in Mount Ephraim, the son of Dika in Makaz

00:58.820 --> 01:04.360
and in Shealbim and Beth Shemesh and Elon
Bethanon, the son of Hesed in Aruboth,

01:04.940 --> 01:10.580
to him pertained Soko and all the land of
Hepha, the son of Abinadab in all the

01:10.580 --> 01:14.040
region of Dor which had Tephath the
daughter of Solomon to wife.

01:16.140 --> 01:21.340
Baena the son of Ahilud, to him pertained
Teanach and Megiddo and all Bethshean

01:21.340 --> 01:25.860
which is by Zartanah beneath Jezreel,
from Bethshean to Abel-Meholah,

01:26.300 --> 01:28.400
even unto the place that is beyond
Joknium.

01:29.420 --> 01:33.840
The son of Geba in Raimoth-Gilead,
to him pertained the towns of Jeor,

01:34.200 --> 01:36.360
the son of Manasseh which are in Gilead.

01:37.160 --> 01:42.060
To him also pertained the region of Argob
which is in Bashan, threescore great

01:42.060 --> 01:44.140
cities with walls and brassen bars.

01:45.600 --> 01:47.880
Ahinadab, the son of Iddo, had Maanaim.

01:49.460 --> 01:50.600
Ahimaaz was in Naphtali.

01:51.480 --> 01:54.460
He also took Basmath, the daughter of
Solomon, to wife.

01:55.700 --> 01:58.960
Baena, the son of Hushai, was in Asher and
in Eiloth.

02:00.260 --> 02:02.620
Jehoshaphat, the son of Perua in Issachar.

02:03.940 --> 02:05.940
Shimei, the son of Elah in Benjamin.

02:06.700 --> 02:10.940
Geba, the son of Uri, was in the country
of Gilead, in the country of Sihon,

02:11.280 --> 02:12.240
king of the Amorites.

02:12.720 --> 02:14.680
And of Og, king of Bashan.

02:15.160 --> 02:17.460
And he was the only officer which was in
the land.

02:18.680 --> 02:22.980
Judah and Israel were many, as the sand
which is by the sea in multitude,

02:23.420 --> 02:25.280
eating and drinking and making merry.

02:26.220 --> 02:29.840
And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from
the river unto the land of the

02:29.840 --> 02:32.360
Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt.

02:33.140 --> 02:36.640
They brought presents and served Solomon
all the days of his life.

02:38.380 --> 02:42.580
And Solomon's provision for one day was
thirty measures of fine flour,

02:42.900 --> 02:47.680
and threescore measures of meal,
ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the

02:47.680 --> 02:52.480
pastures, and an hundred sheep beside
huts, and roebucks, and fallow deer,

02:52.640 --> 02:53.520
and fatted fowl.

02:54.320 --> 02:59.420
For he had dominion over all the region on
this side the river, from Tifzah even to

02:59.420 --> 03:02.520
Azzah, over all the kings on this side the
river.

03:03.260 --> 03:05.780
And he had peace on all sides round about
him.

03:06.660 --> 03:11.880
And Judah and Israel dwelt safely,
every man under his vine and under his fig

03:11.880 --> 03:15.980
tree, from Dan even to Beersheba,
all the days of Solomon.

03:17.780 --> 03:22.420
And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of
horses for his chariots, and twelve

03:22.420 --> 03:23.320
thousand horsemen.

03:24.400 --> 03:29.340
And those officers provided vittle for
king Solomon, and for all that came under

03:29.340 --> 03:32.060
king Solomon's table, every man in his
month.

03:32.700 --> 03:33.740
They lacked nothing.

03:34.960 --> 03:39.480
Barley also, and straw for the horses and
dromedaries brought they unto the place

03:39.480 --> 03:43.420
where the officers were, every man
according to his charge.

03:45.300 --> 03:49.100
And God gave Solomon wisdom and
understanding exceeding much, and

03:49.100 --> 03:52.640
largeness of heart, even as the sand that
is on the seashore.

03:53.740 --> 03:57.860
And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom
of all the children of the east country,

03:58.340 --> 03:59.660
and all the wisdom of Egypt.

04:00.040 --> 04:04.820
For he was wiser than all men,
than Ethan the Ezraite, and Heman,

04:05.260 --> 04:07.560
and Calchol, and Dada the sons of Maho.

04:08.220 --> 04:10.520
And his fame was in all nations round
about.

04:11.340 --> 04:15.900
And he spake three thousand proverbs,
and his songs were a thousand and five.

04:16.780 --> 04:21.380
And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree
that is in Lebanon, even unto the hyssop

04:21.380 --> 04:22.780
that springeth out of the wall.

04:22.780 --> 04:26.840
He spake also of beasts, and of fowl,
and of creeping things, and of fishes.

04:27.640 --> 04:31.880
And there came of all people to hear the
wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the

04:31.880 --> 04:33.740
earth which had heard of his wisdom.
