1 Kings 4:7-20

7And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided food for the king and his household: each man his month in a year made provision. 8And these are their names: The son of Hur, in mount Ephraim:1 9The son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Bethshemesh, and Elonbethhanan:2 10The son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him pertained Sochoh, and all the land of Hepher:3 11The son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; who had Taphath the daughter of Solomon for a wife:4 12Baana the son of Ahilud; to him pertained Taanach and Megiddo, and all Bethshean, which is by Zartanah beneath Jezreel, from Bethshean to Abelmeholah, even to the place that is beyond Jokneam: 13The son of Geber, in Ramothgilead; 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, sixty great cities with walls and brasen bars:5 14Ahinadab the son of Iddo had Mahanaim:6 15Ahimaaz was in Naphtali; he also took Basmath the daughter of Solomon for a wife: 16Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher and in Aloth: 17Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar: 18Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin: 19Geber 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 who was in the land.

20Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry.
