20 Judah and Israel were numerous as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and making merry.
Iuda et Israhel innumerabiles sicut harena maris in multitudine comedentes et bibentes atque laetantes
21 Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt. They brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.
Salomon autem erat in dicione sua habens omnia regna sicut a flumine terrae Philisthim usque ad terminum Aegypti offerentium sibi munera et servientium ei cunctis diebus vitae eius
22 Solomon’s provision for one day was thirty cors of fine flour, sixty measures of meal,
erat autem cibus Salomonis per dies singulos triginta chori similae et sexaginta chori farinae
23 ten head of fat cattle, twenty head of cattle out of the pastures, and one hundred sheep, in addition to deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fattened fowl.
decem boves pingues et viginti boves pascuales et centum arietes excepta venatione cervorum caprearum atque bubalorum et avium altilium
24 For he had dominion over all on this side the River, from Tiphsah even to Gaza, over all the kings on this side the River; and he had peace on all sides around him.
ipse enim obtinebat omnem regionem quae erat trans flumen quasi a Thapsa usque Gazam et cunctos reges illarum regionum et habebat pacem ex omni parte in circuitu
25 Judah and Israel lived safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.

26 Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
et habebat Salomon quadraginta milia praesepia equorum currulium et duodecim milia equestrium
27 Those officers provided food for King Solomon, and for all who came to King Solomon’s table, every man in his month. They let nothing be lacking.
nutriebantque eos supradicti regis praefecti sed et necessaria mensae regis Salomonis cum ingenti cura praebebant in tempore suo
28 They also brought barley and straw for the horses and swift steeds to the place where the officers were, each man according to his duty.
hordeum quoque et paleas equorum et iumentorum deferebant in locum ubi erat rex iuxta constitutum sibi
29 God gave Solomon abundant wisdom, understanding, and breadth of mind like the sand that is on the seashore.
dedit quoque Deus sapientiam Salomoni et prudentiam multam nimis et latitudinem cordis quasi harenam quae est in litore maris
30 Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt.
et praecedebat sapientia Salomonis sapientiam omnium Orientalium et Aegyptiorum
31 For he was wiser than all men—wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the nations all around.
et erat sapientior cunctis hominibus sapientior Aethan Ezraita et Heman et Chalcal et Dorda filiis Maol et erat nominatus in universis gentibus per circuitum
32 He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered one thousand five.
locutus est quoque Salomon tria milia parabolas et fuerunt carmina eius quinque et mille
33 He spoke of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even to the hyssop that grows out of the wall; he also spoke of animals, of birds, of creeping things, and of fish.
et disputavit super lignis a cedro quae est in Libano usque ad hysopum quae egreditur de pariete et disseruit de iumentis et volucribus et reptilibus et piscibus
34 People of all nations came to hear the wisdom of Solomon, sent by all kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom.
et veniebant de cunctis populis ad audiendam sapientiam Salomonis et ab universis regibus terrae qui audiebant sapientiam eius
