God Blessed Solomon (1 Kings 4)

Solomon walked in God's ways and God blessed Solomon with a vast kingdom that had peace on all sides.  It was so large that he had officials to help run the government.  Solomon’s officials are recorded (vs. 1-6).

Solomon’s Officals:
Azariah, son of Zadok, was the priest (vs. 2)
Elihoreph & Ahijah, sons of Shisha, were the secretaries (vs. 3)
Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, was the recorder (vs. 3)
Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, was over the army (vs. 4)
Azdok & Abiathar were priests (vs. 4)
Azariah, son of Nathan, was over the deputies (vs.5)
Zabud, son of Nathan, was a priest and the king’s friend (vs.5)
Ahishar was over the household (vs.6)
Adoniram was over the men forced to labor (vs.6)

Solomon's 12 deputies of Israel are recorded (vs. 7-19) (I have listed the location first then the names in bold followed by any recorded information).  I can't get the map to paste here so if you are interested let me know and I will make you a copy of it.
#1 Hill country of Ephraim > Ben-hur (vs. 8)
#2 Makaz, Shaalbim and Beth-shemesh > Ben-deker (vs. 9)
#3 Arubboth, Sochoh and Hepher > Ben-hesed (vs. 10)
#4 Dor > Ben-abinadab married to Taphath, Solomon’s daughter (vs. 11)
#5 Taanach and Megiddo > Baana, son of Ahilum (vs. 12)
#6 Ramoth-gilean (included 60 great cities) > Ben-geber (vs. 13)
#7 Mahanaim > Ahinadab (vs. 14)
#8 Land of Naphtali > Ahimaaz married to Basemath, Solomon’s daughter (vs. 15)
#9 Asher and Bealoth > Baana, son of Hushai (vs. 16)
#10 Land of Issachar > Jehoshaphat, son of Paruah (vs. 17)
#11 Land of Benjamin > Shimei son of Ela (vs. 18)
#12 Land of Gilead > Geber, son of Uri (vs. 19)

Solomon’s provisions are recorded (vs. 22-28) as well as some of his accomplishments (vs. 29-34): his wisdom was greater than all men before him from the east or Egypt and all came to hear his wisdom (vs. 30-31, 34). He spoke 3,000 proverbs, 1,005 songs (vs. 32) and wisdom of the trees and animals (vs. 33).

Question to Ponder: Solomon’s kingdom grew in size needing officials and deputies to help govern the land. He also grew great in wisdom, both of which were promised to him by God in 1 Kings 3 and 2 Chron 1. God blessed Solomon and He kept His promises. How has God blessed you?
