    •   So king Solomon was king over all Israel.
    •   And these were the princes which he had; Azariah the son of Zadok the priest,
    •   Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder.
    •   And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests:
    •   And Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers: and Zabud the son of Nathan was principal officer, and the king's friend:
    •   And Ahishar was over the household: and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the tribute.
    •   And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, which provided victuals for the king and his household: each man his month in a year made provision.
    •   And these are their names: The son of Hur, in mount Ephraim:
    •   The son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Bethshemesh, and Elonbethhanan:
    • 10   The son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him pertained Sochoh, and all the land of Hepher:
    • 11   The son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; which had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife:
    • 12   Baana the son of Ahilud; to him pertained Taanach and Megiddo, and all Bethshean, which is by Zartanah beneath Jezreel, from Bethshean to Abelmeholah, even to the place that is beyond Jokneam:
    • 13   The son of Geber, in Ramothgilead; to him pertained the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead; to him also pertained the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, three score great cities with walls and brazen bars:
    • 14   Ahinadab the son of Iddo had Mahanaim:
    • 15   Ahimaaz was in Naphtali; he also took Basmath the daughter of Solomon to wife:
    • 16   Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher and in Aloth:
    • 17   Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar:
    • 18   Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin:
    • 19   Geber the son of Uri was in the country of Gilead, in the country of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king of Bashan; and he was the only officer which was in the land.
    • 20   Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry.
    • 21   And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt: they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life.
    • 22   And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and three score measures of meal,
    • 23   Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an hundred sheep, beside harts, and roebucks, and fallow deer, and fatted fowl.
    • 24   For he had dominion over all the region on this side the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on this side the river: and he had peace on all sides round about him.
    • 25   And Judah and Israel dwelled safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.
    • 26   And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
    • 27   And those officers provided victual for king Solomon, and for all that came to king Solomon's table, every man in his month: they lacked nothing.
    • 28   Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries brought they to the place where the officers were, every man according to his charge.
    • 29   And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.
    • 30   And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
    • 31   For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations round about.
    • 32   And he spoke three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five.
    • 33   And he spoke of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall: he spoke also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes.
    • 34   And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.
    •   So king Solomon was king over all Israel.
    •   And these were the princes which he had; Azariah the son of Zadok the priest,
    •   Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder.

    American King James Version
    Produced by Stone Engelbrite

    This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.

    I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.

Basic Hash Usage Explained

At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.

We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.

Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.

Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.

Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.

The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.

We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.

Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
