20UJuda no-Israyeli babebaningi ngangesihlabathi esingasolwandle ngobuningi, babedla, bephuza, bejabula.
21USolomoni wabusa phezu kwemibuso yonke kusukela emfuleni kuze kube sezweni lamaFilisti nasemkhawulweni waseGibithe; baletha izipho, bamkhonza uSolomoni zonke izinsuku zokuhamba kwakhe.
22Ukudla kukaSolomoni kosuku lunye kwakungamakhora angamashumi amathathu empuphu ecolekileyo namakhora angamashumi ayisithupha empuphu;
23Izinkomo eziyishumi ezikhuluphalisiweyo, nezinkomo ezingamashumi amabili zasemadlelweni, nemihlambi eyikhulu, ngaphandle kwezinyamazane, nezinyamazane, nezinyoni ezikhuluphalisiweyo.
24Wabusa phezu kwawo wonke umkhawulo ongasentshonalanga koMfula, kusukela eTifsa kuze kube se-Aza, phezu kwawo wonke amakhosi phesheya koMfula; waba nokuthula nxazonke zakhe.
25OJuda no-Israyeli bahlala belondekile, kwaba yilowo nalowo phansi komvini wakhe naphansi komkhiwane wakhe, kusukela kwaDani kuze kube seBeri Sheba, zonke izinsuku zikaSolomoni.
26USolomoni wayenezibaya eziyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amane zezinqola zakhe nabamahhashi abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nambili.
27Lezo zikhulu zanika inkosi uSolomoni ukudla nabo bonke ababeza etafuleni lenkosi uSolomoni, kwaba yileso naleso ngenyanga yaso; abaswelanga lutho.
28Baletha nebhali notshani bamahhashi namahhashi amancane, endaweni lapho izinduna zazikhona, kwaba yilowo nalowo njengokwesimiso sakhe.
29UNkulunkulu wamnika uSolomoni ukuhlakanipha nokuqonda okuningi, nobubanzi benhliziyo, njengesihlabathi esisogwini lolwandle.
30Ukuhlakanipha kukaSolomoni kwakungcono kunokuhlakanipha kwabo bonke abantwana bezwe lasempumalanga nakho konke ukuhlakanipha kwaseGibhithe.
31Ngokuba wayehlakaniphe kunabo bonke abantu; njengo-Ethani umEzra, noHemani, noKalikoli, noDarda, amadodana kaMaholi; futhi umbiko wakhe wawuphakathi kwezizwe zonke nxazonke.
32Wakhuluma izaga eziyizinkulungwane ezintathu, izingoma zakhe zaziyinkulungwane nanhlanu.
33Wakhuluma ngemithi, kusukela kumsedari oseLebanoni kuze kufike kuhisopi elimila odongeni; wakhuluma nangezilwane, nezinyoni, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo nezinhlanzi.
34Kwasekufika bevela ebantwini bonke ukuzwa ukuhlakanipha kukaSolomoni bevela kuwo wonke amakhosi omhlaba ayezwile ngokuhlakanipha kwakhe.
