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