BIBBIA CEI 2008	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Il re Salomone estese il suo dominio su tutto Israele.	1 So king Solomon was king over all Israel.
2 Questi erano i suoi dignitari: Azaria, figlio di Sadoc, fu sacerdote;	2 And these were the princes which he had; Azariah the son of Zadok the priest,
3 Elicòref e Achia, figli di Sisa, scribi; Giòsafat, figlio di Achilùd, archivista;	3 Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder.
4 Benaià, figlio di Ioiadà, capo dell’esercito; Sadoc ed Ebiatàr, sacerdoti;	4 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests:
5 Azaria, figlio di Natan, capo dei prefetti; Zabud, figlio di Natan, sacerdote, amico del re;	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 Achisar maggiordomo; Adoniràm, figlio di Abda, sovrintendente al lavoro coatto.	6 And Ahishar was over the household: and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the tribute.
7 Salomone aveva dodici prefetti su tutto Israele, i quali provvedevano al re e alla sua casa; ognuno aveva l’incarico di procurare il necessario per un mese all’anno.	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 Questi sono i loro nomi: il figlio di Cur, sulle montagne di Èfraim;	8 And these are their names: The son of Hur, in mount Ephraim:
9 il figlio di Deker, a Makas, a Saalbìm, a Bet-Semes, a Elon-Bet-Canan;	9 The son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Beth-shemesh, and Elon-beth-hanan:
10 il figlio di Chesed, ad Arubbòt: a lui appartenevano Soco e tutta la regione di Chefer;	10 The son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him pertained Sochoh, and all the land of Hepher:
11 il figlio di Abinadàb aveva tutta la collina di Dor; sua moglie era Tafat, figlia di Salomone;	11 The son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; which had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife:
12 Baanà, figlio di Achilùd, aveva Taanac, Meghiddo e tutta Bet-Sean che è dal lato verso Sartàn, sotto Izreèl, da Bet-Sean fino ad Abel-Mecolà, fin oltre Iokmeàm;	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 il figlio di Gheber, a Ramot di Gàlaad: a lui appartenevano i villaggi di Iair, figlio di Manasse, in Gàlaad, il distretto di Argob in Basan, sessanta grandi città con mura e spranghe di bronzo;	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 Achinadàb, figlio di Iddo, a Macanàim;	14 Ahinadab the son of Iddo had Mahanaim:
15 Achimàas in Nèftali: anch’egli aveva preso in moglie una figlia di Salomone, Basmat;	15 Ahimaaz was in Naphtali; he also took Basmath the daughter of Solomon to wife:
16 Baanà, figlio di Cusài, in Aser e in Zàbulon;	16 Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher and in Aloth:
17 Giòsafat, figlio di Parùach, in Ìssacar;	17 Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar:
18 Simei, figlio di Ela, in Beniamino;	18 Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin:
19 Gheber, figlio di Urì, nella regione di Gàlaad, cioè la terra di Sicon, re degli Amorrei, e di Og, re di Basan. Inoltre c’era un prefetto unico nella terra di Giuda.	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 Giuda e Israele per quantità erano numerosi come la sabbia del mare; mangiavano, bevevano e vivevano felici.	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.
