I made me greatworks; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards:
5
I made me gardens and orchards, and I plantedtrees in them of all kind of fruits:
6
I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forthtrees:
7
I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born[a] in my house; also I had greatpossessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalembefore me:
8
I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments*, and that of all sorts.
9
So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdomremained with me.
