1 KINGS 4:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“The son of Geber, in Ramoth–gilead; 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, threescore great cities with walls and brasen bars:”
The officer over Beth-shean in the Jordan valley and surrounding Jokmeam oversaw crucial agricultural lands and water resources, illustrating how Solomon's administrative divisions reflected both economic productivity and the natural geographic divisions of the kingdom. This officer's domain encompassed territory that straddled important communication routes between the Jordan and the western highlands, making the position critical for maintaining the kingdom's internal cohesion and secure supply lines. The multiplication of officers in the most productive and strategically significant regions underscores Solomon's prioritization of stability and resource flow to the capital.
