1 Kings 4:22-31 English Standard Version (ESV)

22. Solomon’s provision for one day was thirty cors of fine flour and sixty cors of meal,

23. ten fat oxen, and twenty pasture-fed cattle, a hundred sheep, besides deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fattened fowl.

24. For he had dominion over all the region west of the Euphrates from Tiphsah to Gaza, over all the kings west of the Euphrates. And he had peace on all sides around him.

25. And Judah and Israel lived in safety, from Dan even to Beersheba, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, all the days of Solomon.

26. Solomon also had 40,000 stalls of horses for his chariots, and 12,000 horsemen.

27. And those officers supplied provisions for King Solomon, and for all who came to King Solomon’s table, each one in his month. They let nothing be lacking.

28. Barley also and straw for the horses and swift steeds they brought to the place where it was required, each according to his duty.

29. And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding beyond measure, and breadth of mind like the sand on the seashore,

30. so that Solomon’s wisdom surpassed the wisdom of all the people of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt.

31. For he was wiser than all other men, wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol, and his fame was in all the surrounding nations.
