Contextual Overview

1 King Solomon ruled over all Israel. 2 These are the names of his leading officials: Azariah son of Zadok was the priest; 3 Elihoreph and Ahijah, sons of Shisha, had the job of writing notes about what happened in the courts; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud wrote notes about the history of the people; 4 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was the commander of the army; Zadok and Abiathar were priests; 5 Azariah son of Nathan was in charge of the district governors; Zabud son of Nathan was a priest and an advisor to King Solomon; 6 Ahishar was responsible for everything in the king's palace; Adoniram son of Abda was in charge of the slaves. 7 Israel was divided into twelve districts. Solomon chose governors to rule over each district. These governors were ordered to gather food from their districts and give it to the king and his family. Each of the twelve governors was responsible for giving food to the king one month each year. 8 These are the names of the twelve governors: Ben Hur was governor of the hill country of Ephraim. 9 Ben Deker was governor of Makaz, Shaalbim, Beth Shemesh, and Elon Bethhanan. 10 Ben Hesed was governor of Arubboth, Socoh, and Hepher.
