1 Kings 4:25-32

²⁵And Iudah and Israel dwelt without feare, euery man vnder his vine, and vnder his fig tree, from Dan, euen to Beer-sheba, all the dayes of Salomon.

²⁶And Salomon had fourtie thousande stalles of horses for his charets, and twelue thousand horsemen.

²⁷And these officers prouided vitaile for king Salomon, and for all that came to King Salomons table, euery man his moneth, and they suffred to lacke nothing.

²⁸Barley also and strawe for the horses and mules brought they vnto the place where the officers were, euery man according to his charge.

²⁹And God gaue Salomon wisdome and vnderstanding exceeding much, and a large heart, euen as the sand that is on the sea shore,

³⁰And Salomons wisdome excelled the wisedome of all the children of the East and all the wisedome of Egypt.

³¹For he was wiser then any man: yea, then were Ethan the Ezrahite, the Heman, then Chalcol, then Darda the sonnes of Mahol: and he was famous throughout all nations round about.

³²And Salomon spake three thousand prouerbs: and his songs were a thousand and fiue.
