7Solomon had twelve deputies over all Israel, who 5provided for the king and his household; each man had to 6provide for a month in the year. 8These are their names: Ben-hur, in the 7hill country of Ephraim; 9Ben-deker in Makaz and 8Shaalbim and 9Beth-shemesh and Elonbeth-hanan; 10Ben-hesed, in Arubboth (10Socoh was his and all the land of 11Hepher); 11Ben-abinadab, in all 12the 13height of Dor (Taphath the daughter of Solomon was his wife); 12Baana the son of Ahilud, in 14Taanach and Megiddo, and all 15Beth-shean which is beside 16Zarethan below Jezreel, from Beth-shean to 17Abel-meholah as far as the other side of 18Jokmeam;
