10
Ben-Hesed, in Arubboth; to him belonged Sochoh and all the land of Hepher;
11
Ben-Abinadab, in all the regions of Dor; he had Taphath the daughter of Solomon as wife;
12
Baana the son of Ahilud, in Taanach, Megiddo, and all Beth Shean, which is beside Zaretan below Jezreel, from Beth Shean to Abel Meholah, as far as the other side of Jokneam;
13
Ben-Geber, in Ramoth Gilead; to him belonged the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, in Gilead; to him also belonged the region of Argob in Bashan--sixty large cities with walls and bronze gate-bars;
14
Ahinadab the son of Iddo, in Mahanaim;
15
Ahimaaz, in Naphtali; he also took Basemath the daughter of Solomon as wife;
16
Baanah the son of Hushai, in Asher and Aloth;
17
Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar;
18
Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin;
19
Geber the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, in the country of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king of Bashan. He was the only governor who was in the land.

ten fatted oxen, twenty oxen from the pastures, and one hundred sheep, besides deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fatted fowl.

For he had dominion over all the region on this side of the River from Tiphsah even to Gaza, namely over all the kings on this side of the River; and he had peace on every side all around him.
25
And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, each man under his vine and his fig tree, from Dan as far as Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.
26
Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
27
And these governors, each man in his month, provided food for King Solomon and for all who came to King Solomon's table. There was no lack in their supply.
