1 Kings 4:3-12
3Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha were scribes; 1Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the secretary; 4and 2Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the army; and Zadok and 3Abiathar were priests; 5and Azariah the son of Nathan was over 4the 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 5hill country of Ephraim; 9Ben-deker in Makaz and 6Shaalbim, and 7Beth-shemesh, and Elonbeth-hanan; 10Ben-hesed in Arubboth (8Socoh was his and all the land of 9Hepher); 11Ben-abinadab in all 10the 11hills of Dor (Taphath the daughter of Solomon was his wife); 12Baana the son of Ahilud in 12Taanach and Megiddo, and all 13Beth-shean which is beside 14Zarethan below Jezreel, from Beth-shean to 15Abel-meholah as far as the other side of 16Jokmeam;
