5. Thus Judah and Israel lived in security, everyone under their own vine and fig tree from Dan to Beer-sheba, as long as Solomon lived.
6. Solomon had forty thousand stalls for horses for chariots and twelve thousand horsemen.
7. The governors, one for each month, provided food for King Solomon and for all the guests at King Solomon’s table. They left nothing unprovided.

10. Solomon’s wisdom surpassed that of all the peoples of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt.
