1 Kings 4:25-32

²⁵And Juda and Israel dwelt without any fear, every one under his vine, and under his fig tree, from Dan to Bersabee, all the days of Solomon.

²⁶And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of chariot horses, and twelve thousand for the saddle.

²⁷And the foresaid governors of the king fed them: and they furnished the necessaries also for king Solomon’s table, with great care in their time.

²⁸They brought barley also and straw for the horses, and beasts, to the place where the king was, according as it was appointed them.

²⁹And God gave to Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart as the sand that is on the sea shore.

³⁰And the wisdom of Solomon surpassed the wisdom of all the Orientals, and of the Egyptians,

³¹And he was wiser than all men: wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Dorda the sons of Mahol, and he was renowned in all nations round about.

³²Solomon also spoke three thousand parables: and his poems were a thousand and five.
