Brenton’s Septuagint (1851), English

And Solomon commanded Banæas the son of Jodae, and he went forth and slew him. a And king Solomon was very prudent and wise: and Juda and Israel were very many, as the sand which is by the sea for multitude, eating, and drinking, and rejoicing: b and Solomon was chief in all the kingdoms, and they brought gifts, and served Solomon all the days of his life. c And Solomon began to open the domains of Libanus, d and he built Thermæ in the wilderness. e And this was the daily provision of Solomon, thirty measures of fine flour, and sixty measures of ground meal, ten choice calves, and twenty oxen from the pastures, and a hundred sheep, besides stags, and does, and choice fed birds. f For he ruled in all the country on this side the river, from Raphi unto Gaza, over all the kings on this side the river: g and he was at peace on all sides round about; and Juda and Israel dwelt safely, every one under his vine and under his fig tree, eating and drinking, and feasting, from Dan even to Bersabee, all the days of Solomon. h And these were the princes of Solomon; Azariu son of Sadoc the priest, and Orniu son of Nathan chief of the officers, and he went to his house; and Suba the scribe, and Basa son of Achithalam recorder, and Abi son of Joab commander-in-chief, and Achire son of Edrai was over the levies, and Banæas son of Jodae over the household and over the brickwork, and Cachur the son of Nathan was counsellor. i And Solomon had forty thousand brood mares for his chariots, and twelve thousand horses. k And he reigned over all the kings from the river and to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt: l so Solomon the son of David reigned over Israel and Juda in Jerusalem.
