5 and Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers; and Zabud the son of Nathan was chief minister and the king's friend;
6 and Ahishar was over the household; and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the levy.
7 And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided victuals for the king and his household: each man had to make provision for a month in the year.
8 And these are their names: The son of Hur, in the hill-country of Ephraim;
9 the son of Deker, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Beth-shemesh, and Elon-beth-hanan;

13 the son of Geber, in Ramoth-gilead; to him pertained the villages of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead; even to him pertained the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, threescore great cities with walls and brazen bars;
