21
And Solomon was ruler over all the kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines, and as far as the edge of Egypt; men gave him offerings and were his servants all the days of his life.
22
And the amount of Solomon's food for one day was thirty measures of crushed grain and sixty measures of meal;
23
Ten fat oxen and twenty oxen from the fields, and a hundred sheep, in addition to harts and gazelles and roes and fat fowls.
24
For he had authority over all the country on this side of the River, from Tiphsah to Gaza, over all the kings on this side of the River; and he had peace round him on every side.
25
So Judah and Israel were living safely, every man under his vine and his fig-tree, from Dan as far as Beer-sheba, all the days of Solomon.
26
And Solomon had four thousand boxed-off spaces for horses for his carriages, and twelve thousand horsemen.
27
And those overseers, every man in his month, saw that food was produced for Solomon and all his guests, they took care that nothing was overlooked.
28
And they took grain and dry grass for the horses and the carriage-horses, to the right place, every man as he was ordered.
29
And God gave Solomon a great store of wisdom and good sense, and a mind of wide range, as wide as the sand by the seaside.
30
And Solomon's wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all the people of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt.
31
For he was wiser than all men, even than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman and Calcol and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and he had a great name among all the nations round about.
