20Judah3063 and Israel3478 were many7227, as the sand2344 which is by the sea3220 in multitude7230, eating398 and drinking8354, and making merry8056.
21And Solomon8010 reigned4910 over all kingdoms4467 from the river5104 unto the land776 of the Philistines6430, and unto the border1366 of Egypt4714: they brought5066 presents4503, and served5647 Solomon8010 all the days3117 of his life2416.
22And Solomon's8010 provision3899 for one259 day3117 was thirty7970 measures3734 of fine flour5560, and threescore8346 measures3734 of meal7058,
23Ten6235 fat1277 oxen1241, and twenty6242 oxen1241 out of the pastures7471, and an hundred3967 sheep6629, beside harts354, and roebucks6643, and fallowdeer3180, and fatted75 fowl1257.
24For he had dominion7287 over all the region on this side5676 the river5104, from Tiphsah8607 even to Azzah5804, over all the kings4428 on this side5676 the river5104: and he had peace7965 on all sides5650 5676 round about5439 him.
25And Judah3063 and Israel3478 dwelt3427 safely983, every man376 under his vine1612 and under his fig tree8384, from Dan1835 even to Beersheba884, all the days3117 of Solomon8010.
26And Solomon8010 had forty705 thousand505 stalls723 of horses5483 for his chariots4817, and twelve8147 6240 thousand505 horsemen6571.
27And those officers5324 provided victual3557 for king4428 Solomon8010, and for all that came7131 unto king4428 Solomon's8010 table7979, every man376 in his month2320: they lacked5737 nothing1697.
28Barley8184 also and straw8401 for the horses5483 and dromedaries7409 brought935 they unto the place4725 where the officers were, every man376 according to his charge4941.
29And God430 gave5414 Solomon8010 wisdom2451 and understanding8394 exceeding3966 much7235, and largeness7341 of heart3820, even as the sand2344 that is on the sea3220 shore8193.
30And Solomon's8010 wisdom2451 excelled7235 the wisdom2451 of all the children1121 of the east country6924, and all the wisdom2451 of Egypt4714.
31For he was wiser2449 than all men120; than Ethan387 the Ezrahite250, and Heman1968, and Chalcol3633, and Darda1862, the sons1121 of Mahol4235: and his fame8034 was in all nations1471 round about5439.
32And he spake1696 three7969 thousand505 proverbs4912: and his songs7892 were a thousand505 and five2568.
33And he spake1696 of trees6086, from the cedar tree730 that is in Lebanon3844 even unto the hyssop231 that springeth out3318 of the wall7023: he spake1696 also of beasts929, and of fowl5775, and of creeping things7431, and of fishes1709.
34And there came935 of all people5971 to hear8085 the wisdom2451 of Solomon8010, from all kings4428 of the earth776, which had heard8085 of his wisdom2451.
