2These were his officials: Azariah the son of Zadok was 1the priest; 3Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha were scribes; 2Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the secretary; 4and 3Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the army; and Zadok and 4Abiathar were priests; 5and Azariah the son of Nathan was over 5the deputies; and Zabud the son of Nathan, a priest, was the king’s confidant; 6and Ahishar was over the household; and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the forced labor.

7Solomon had twelve deputies over all Israel, who provided food for the king and his household; each deputy had to provide food for a month in the year. 8And these were their names: Ben-hur, in the 6hill country of Ephraim; 9Ben-deker in Makaz and 7Shaalbim, and 8Beth-shemesh, and Elonbeth-hanan; 10Ben-hesed in Arubboth (9Socoh was his and all the land of 10Hepher); 11Ben-abinadab in all 11the 12hills of Dor (Taphath the daughter of Solomon was his wife); 12Baana the son of Ahilud in 13Taanach and Megiddo, and all 14Beth-shean which is beside 15Zarethan below Jezreel, from Beth-shean to 16Abel-meholah as far as the other side of 17Jokmeam; 13Ben-geber in 18Ramoth-gilead (19the villages of Jair, the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead were his: 20the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great cities with walls and bronze bars were his); 14Ahinadab the son of Iddo in 21Mahanaim; 1522Ahimaaz in Naphtali (he also married Basemath the daughter of Solomon); 16Baana the son of 23Hushai in Asher and 24Bealoth; 17Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah in Issachar; 1825Shimei the son of Ela in Benjamin; 19Geber the son of Uri in the land of Gilead, 26the country of Sihon king of the Amorites and of Og king of Bashan; and he was the only deputy who was in the land.
