1 KINGS 4:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“The son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him pertained Sochoh, and all the land of Hepher:”
The officer serving Makaz and the surrounding villages illustrates how Solomon's administrative system adapted to geographical realities, with officers assigned territories that reflected natural boundaries and economic connections rather than purely tribal divisions. This redistricting, while necessary for efficient administration, also served the strategic purpose of weakening potential regional power centers that might have emerged if districts followed strict tribal boundaries—a pragmatic application of wisdom to governance. The very specificity of these regional assignments demonstrates the comprehensive nature of Solomon's organizational capability.
