1 Kings 4:20--5:8

Judah
<03063>
and Israel
<03478>
[were] many
<07227>_,
as the sand
<02344>
which [is] by the sea
<03220>
in multitude
<07230>_,
eating
<0398> (8802)
and drinking
<08354> (8802)_,
and making merry
<08056>_.
And Solomon
<08010>
reigned
<04910> (8802)
over all kingdoms
<04467>
from the river
<05104>
unto the land
<0776>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
and unto the border
<01366>
of Egypt
<04714>_:
they brought
<05066> (8688)
presents
<04503>_,
and served
<05647> (8802)
Solomon
<08010>
all the days
<03117>
of his life
<02416>_.
And Solomon's
<08010>
provision
<03899>
for one
<0259>
day
<03117>
was thirty
<07970>
measures
<03734>
of fine flour
<05560>_,
and threescore
<08346>
measures
<03734>
of meal
<07058>_,
{provision: Heb. bread} {measures: Heb. cors}
Ten
<06235>
fat
<01277>
oxen
<01241>_,
and twenty
<06242>
oxen
<01241>
out of the pastures
<07471>_,
and an hundred
<03967>
sheep
<06629>_,
beside harts
<0354>_,
and roebucks
<06643>_,
and fallowdeer
<03180>_,
and fatted
<075> (8803)
fowl
<01257>_.
For he had dominion
<07287> (8802)
over all [the region] on this side
<05676>
the river
<05104>_,
from Tiphsah
<08607>
even to Azzah
<05804>_,
over all the kings
<04428>
on this side
<05676>
the river
<05104>_:
and he had peace
<07965>
on all sides
<05650> (8676) <05676>
round about
<05439>
him.
And Judah
<03063>
and Israel
<03478>
dwelt
<03427> (8799)
safely
<0983>_,
every man
<0376>
under his vine
<01612>
and under his fig tree
<08384>_,
from Dan
<01835>
even to Beersheba
<0884>_,
all the days
<03117>
of Solomon
<08010>_.
{safely: Heb. confidently}
And Solomon
<08010>
had forty
<0705>
thousand
<0505>
stalls
<0723>
of horses
<05483>
for his chariots
<04817>_,
and twelve
<08147> <06240>
thousand
<0505>
horsemen
<06571>_.
And those officers
<05324> (8737)
provided victual
<03557> (8773)
for king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>_,
and for all that came
<07131>
unto king
<04428>
Solomon's
<08010>
table
<07979>_,
every man
<0376>
in his month
<02320>_:
they lacked
<05737> (8762)
nothing
<01697>_.
Barley
<08184>
also and straw
<08401>
for the horses
<05483>
and dromedaries
<07409>
brought
<0935> (8686)
they unto the place
<04725>
where [the officers] were, every man
<0376>
according to his charge
<04941>_.
{dromedaries: or, mules, or, swift beasts}
And God
<0430>
gave
<05414> (8799)
Solomon
<08010>
wisdom
<02451>
and understanding
<08394>
exceeding
<03966>
much
<07235> (8687)_,
and largeness
<07341>
of heart
<03820>_,
even as the sand
<02344>
that [is] on the sea
<03220>
shore
<08193>_.
And Solomon's
<08010>
wisdom
<02451>
excelled
<07235> (8799)
the wisdom
<02451>
of all the children
<01121>
of the east country
<06924>_,
and all the wisdom
<02451>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
For he was wiser
<02449> (8799)
than all men
<0120>_;
than Ethan
<0387>
the Ezrahite
<0250>_,
and Heman
<01968>_,
and Chalcol
<03633>_,
and Darda
<01862>_,
the sons
<01121>
of Mahol
<04235>_:
and his fame
<08034>
was in all nations
<01471>
round about
<05439>_.
And he spake
<01696> (8762)
three
<07969>
thousand
<0505>
proverbs
<04912>_:
and his songs
<07892>
were a thousand
<0505>
and five
<02568>_.
And he spake
<01696> (8762)
of trees
<06086>_,
from the cedar tree
<0730>
that [is] in Lebanon
<03844>
even unto the hyssop
<0231>
that springeth out
<03318> (8802)
of the wall
<07023>_:
he spake
<01696> (8762)
also of beasts
<0929>_,
and of fowl
<05775>_,
and of creeping things
<07431>_,
and of fishes
<01709>_.
And there came
<0935> (8799)
of all people
<05971>
to hear
<08085> (8800)
the wisdom
<02451>
of Solomon
<08010>_,
from all kings
<04428>
of the earth
<0776>_,
which had heard
<08085> (8804)
of his wisdom
<02451>_.
And Hiram
<02438>
king
<04428>
of Tyre
<06865>
sent
<07971> (8799)
his servants
<05650>
unto Solomon
<08010>_;
for he had heard
<08085> (8804)
that they had anointed
<04886> (8804)
him king
<04428>
in the room of his father
<01>_:
for Hiram
<02438>
was ever
<03117>
a lover
<0157> (8802)
of David
<01732>_.
{Hiram: also called, Huram}
And Solomon
<08010>
sent
<07971> (8799)
to Hiram
<02438>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thou knowest
<03045> (8804)
how that David
<01732>
my father
<01>
could
<03201> (8804)
not build
<01129> (8800)
an house
<01004>
unto the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>
for
<06440>
the wars
<04421>
which were about him on every side
<05437> (8804)_,
until the LORD
<03068>
put
<05414> (8800)
them under the soles
<03709>
of his feet
<07272>_.
But now the LORD
<03068>
my God
<0430>
hath given me rest
<05117> (8689)
on every side
<05439>_,
[so that there is] neither adversary
<07854>
nor evil
<07451>
occurrent
<06294>_.
And, behold, I purpose
<0559> (8802)
to build
<01129> (8800)
an house
<01004>
unto the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
my God
<0430>_,
as the LORD
<03068>
spake
<01696> (8765)
unto David
<01732>
my father
<01>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thy son
<01121>_,
whom I will set
<05414> (8799)
upon thy throne
<03678>
in thy room, he shall build
<01129> (8799)
an house
<01004>
unto my name
<08034>_.
{purpose: Heb. say}
Now therefore command
<06680> (8761)
thou that they hew
<03772> (8799)
me cedar trees
<0730>
out of Lebanon
<03844>_;
and my servants
<05650>
shall be with thy servants
<05650>_:
and unto thee will I give
<05414> (8799)
hire
<07939>
for thy servants
<05650>
according to all that thou shalt appoint
<0559> (8799)_:
for thou knowest
<03045> (8804)
that [there is] not among us any
<0376>
that can skill
<03045> (8802)
to hew
<03772> (8800)
timber
<06086>
like unto the Sidonians
<06722>_.
{appoint: Heb. say}
And it came to pass, when Hiram
<02438>
heard
<08085> (8800)
the words
<01697>
of Solomon
<08010>_,
that he rejoiced
<08055> (8799)
greatly
<03966>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be] the LORD
<03068>
this day
<03117>_,
which hath given
<05414> (8804)
unto David
<01732>
a wise
<02450>
son
<01121>
over this great
<07227>
people
<05971>_.
And Hiram
<02438>
sent
<07971> (8799)
to Solomon
<08010>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
I have considered
<08085> (8804)
the things which thou sentest
<07971> (8804)
to me for: [and] I will do
<06213> (8799)
all thy desire
<02656>
concerning timber
<06086>
of cedar
<0730>_,
and concerning timber
<06086>
of fir
<01265>_.
{considered: Heb. heard}
