1 Kings 4:15-33
-
15 Ahimaaz was in Naphtali; he also took Basmath the daughter of Solomon to wife:
-
16 Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher and in Aloth:
-
17 Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar:
-
18 Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin:
-
19 Geber the son of Uri was in the country of Gilead, in the country of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king of Bashan; and he was the only officer which was in the land.
-
20 Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry.
-
21 And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt: they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life.
-
22 And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal,
-
23 Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an hundred sheep, beside harts, and roebucks, and fallowdeer, and fatted fowl.
-
24 For he had dominion over all the region on this side the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on this side the river: and he had peace on all sides round about him.
-
25 And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.
-
26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
-
27 And those officers provided victual for king Solomon, and for all that came unto king Solomon's table, every man in his month: they lacked nothing.
-
28 Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries brought they unto the place where the officers were, every man according to his charge.
-
29 And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.
-
30 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
-
31 For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations round about.
-
32 And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five.
-
33 And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes.
