1 Kings 4:25-32

²⁵(5:5) And Judah and Israel dwelt in safety, every man under his vine and under his fig-tree, from Dan even to Beer-sheba', all the days of Solomon.

²⁶(5:6) And Solomon had forty thousand stalls for the horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

²⁷(5:7) And those superintendents provided for king Solomon, and for all that came near unto king Solomon's table, every man in his month: they let nothing be wanting.

²⁸(5:8) The barley also and the straw for the horses and the runners did they bring unto the place where he might be, every man according to his prescription.

²⁹(5:9) And God gave unto Solomon wisdom and understanding exceedingly much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea-shore.

³⁰(5:10) And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

³¹(5:11) And he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrachite, and Heman, and Kalkol, and Darda', the sons of Machol: and his name was spread among all the nations round about.

³²(5:12) And he spoke three thousand proverbs; and his songs were a thousand and five.
