19 乌利的儿子基别，独自负责从前属亚摩利王西宏和巴珊王噩的基列地区。

20 The people of Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand on the seashore, and they were eating and drinking and rejoicing.

20 犹大人和以色列人多如海沙，丰衣足食，生活幸福。

21 And Solomon reigned over all the kingdoms from the Euphrates to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt. These kingdoms offered tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.

21 所罗门统管列国，从幼发拉底河至非利士，直到埃及边界。所罗门在世的日子，列国都年年进贡称臣。

22 Solomon’s provisions for a single day were thirty cors of fine flour, sixty cors of meal,

22 所罗门每天的膳食用三千公斤细面粉、六千公斤粗面粉、

23 ten fat oxen, twenty range oxen, and a hundred sheep, as well as deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fattened poultry.

23 十头肥牛、二十头草场的牛、一百只羊，此外还有鹿、羚羊、狍子及肥禽。

24 For Solomon had dominion over everything west of the Euphrates—over all the kingdoms from Tiphsah to Gaza—and he had peace on all sides.

24 所罗门统治幼发拉底河西面所有的国家，从提弗萨直到迦萨，四境安宁。

25 Throughout the days of Solomon, Judah and Israel dwelt securely from Dan to Beersheba, each man under his own vine and his own fig tree.

25 所罗门在世的时候，从但到别示巴的犹大人和以色列人都在自己的葡萄树和无花果树下安居。

26 Solomon had 4,000 stalls for his chariot horses and 12,000 horses.

26 所罗门有四万个安置拉战车马匹的马厩和一万二千名骑兵。

27 Each month the governors in turn provided food for King Solomon and all who came to his table. They saw to it that nothing was lacking.

27 十二个地方官按月供给所罗门王及王室的需用，使他们一无所缺。

28 Each one also brought to the required place their quotas of barley and straw for the chariot horses and other horses.

28 他们也各按其份提供喂战车马等马匹用的大麦和干草。

29 And God gave Solomon wisdom, exceedingly deep insight, and understanding beyond measure, like the sand on the seashore.

29 上帝赐予所罗门极大的智慧和悟性，以及如海边的沙一样浩博的学识。

30 Solomon’s wisdom was greater than that of all the men of the East, greater than all the wisdom of Egypt.

30 他的智慧高过东方人和埃及人的一切智慧，

31 He was wiser than all men—wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, and wiser than Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol. And his fame spread throughout the surrounding nations.

31 无人能比，胜过以斯拉人以探和玛曷的儿子希幔、甲各、达大的智慧。他名扬四周列国。

32 Solomon composed three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered a thousand and five.

32 所罗门写下箴言三千句，作诗歌一千零五首。

33 He spoke of trees, from the cedar in Lebanon to the hyssop growing in the wall, and he taught about animals, birds, reptiles, and fish.

33 他对飞禽走兽、草木鱼虫，从黎巴嫩的香柏树到长在墙上的牛膝草，都无所不知。

34 So men of all nations came to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, sent by all the kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.

34 天下列王风闻所罗门的智慧，都纷纷遣使来求教。
