1 So king Solomon was king over all Israel. 2 And these were the princes which he had; Azariah the son of Zadok the priest, 3 Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder. 4 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests: 5 And Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers: and Zabud the son of Nathan was principal officer, and the king’s friend: 6 And Ahishar was over the household: and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the tribute.
7 ¶ And 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. 8 And these are their names: The son of Hur, in mount Ephraim: 9 The son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Beth-shemesh, and Elon-beth-hanan: 10 The son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him pertained Sochoh, and all the land of Hepher: 11 The son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; which had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife: 12 Baana the son of Ahilud; to him pertained Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean, which is by Zartanah beneath Jezreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah, even unto the place that is beyond Jokneam: 13 The son of Geber, in Ramoth-gilead; 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 brasen bars: 14 Ahinadab the son of Iddo had Mahanaim: 15 Ahimaaz was in Naphtali; he also took Basmath the daughter of Solomon to wife: 16 Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher and in Aloth: 17 Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar: 18 Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin: 19 Geber 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.
20 ¶ Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry. 21 And 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.
22 ¶ And Solomon’s provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal, 23 Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an hundred sheep, beside harts, and roebucks, and fallowdeer, and fatted fowl. 24 For 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. 25 And 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.
26 ¶ And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. 27 And 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. 28 Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries brought they unto the place where the officers were, every man according to his charge.
29 ¶ And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore. 30 And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt. 31 For 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. 32 And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five. 33 And 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. 34 And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.

Yahudo yurtining oʻz hukmdori bor edi .
Sulaymon hukmronligining ravnaq topishi
20 Yahudo va Isroil xalqi shu qadar koʻp ediki, goʻyo dengiz qirgʻogʻidagi qumni eslatardi. Ular yeb–ichib, xursandchilik bilan yashardi. 21 Sulaymon Furot daryosidan Filistlar yeriga va Misr chegaralariga qadar boʻlgan hamma oʻlkalarda shohlik qilardi. Bu oʻlkalardagi xalqlar Sulaymonga oʻlpon toʻlab, umr boʻyi unga tobe boʻldilar.
22 Sulaymon xonadonining bir kunlik ozigʻi quyidagicha edi: 300 togʻora sifatli un va 600 togʻora kepakli un, 23 ogʻilxonada boqilgan 10 ta semiz mol va yaylovda boqilgan 20 ta buqa, 100 ta qoʻy, bulardan tashqari, bugʻular, kiyiklar, ohular, semiz parrandalar.
24 Furot daryosining gʻarbidagi Tifsaxdan Gʻazo shahriga qadar boʻlgan oʻlkalarda, daryoning gʻarb tomonidagi hamma shohlar ustidan Sulaymon hukmron edi. Atrofdagi hamma yurtlar bilan aloqasi yaxshi edi. 25 Sulaymon hayotligida Dandan Bershebagacha boʻlgan Yahudo va Isroil yurtidagi har bir odam oʻz uzumzorida, oʻz anjir daraxti ostida tinchgina umr kechirardi.
26 Sulaymonning otxonalarida jang aravalari uchun 4000 oti va 12.000 uchqur otlari bor edi. 27 Oʻsha oʻn ikki hokimning har biri shoh Sulaymonni, shoh Sulaymonning dasturxonidan taom yeydiganlarning hammasini belgilangan oyda oziq–ovqat bilan taʼminlardi, birorta ham kamchilikka yoʻl qoʻyishmasdi. 28 Har biri oʻzining navbati kelganda shoh tayinlagan yerga jang aravalarining otlari va boshqa otlar uchun arpa, somon ham olib kelishardi.
29 Shunday qilib, Xudo Sulaymonga dengiz qirgʻogʻidagi qum kabi cheksiz–chegarasiz donolik, idrok, tengsiz aql berdi. 30 Sulaymonning donoligi butun sharq xalqlarining donoligidan, butun Misr xalqining donoligidan ham ortiq edi. 31 U hamma insonlardan, Zerax urugʻidan boʻlgan Etxandan, Moxul oʻgʻillari Xaman, Qolkoʻl, Dardaxdan ham dono edi. Atrofdagi hamma xalqlar orasida uning dongʻi ketgan edi. 32 U 3000 matal, 1005 ta qoʻshiqlar ijro etdi. 33 U Lubnondagi sadr daraxtidan tortib, devorda oʻsgan issopgacha, qoʻyingki, jamiki dov–daraxtlar, hayvonlar, qushlar, sudralib yuruvchilar, baliqlar haqida soʻz yuritardi. 34 Sulaymonning donoligi haqida eshitgan dunyodagi hamma shohlar uning oldiga odamlarini yuborardi. Barcha xalqlardan kelgan bu odamlar Sulaymonning donoligidan bahramand boʻlardi.
