1 Kings 4:20–28

²⁰Judah and Israel were many, ^cas the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry.

²¹And ^dSolomon reigned over all kingdoms from ^ethe river unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt: ^fthey brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life. ²²And Solomon’s provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal, ²³ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an hundred sheep, beside ^gharts, and ^groebucks, and ^hfallowdeer, and fatted fowl. ²⁴For he had dominion over all the region on this side the river, from ⁱTiphsah even to ^jAzzah, over all the kings on this side the river: and ^khe had peace on all sides round about him. ²⁵And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, ^levery man under his vine and under his fig tree, ^mfrom Dan even to Beer-sheba, all the days of Solomon. ²⁶And Solomon had ⁿforty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. ²⁷And those ^oofficers provided victual for king Solomon, and for all that came unto king Solomon’s table, every man in his month: they lacked nothing. ²⁸Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries brought they unto the place where the officers were, every man according to his charge.
