1 Kings 4:25-32

²⁵And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig-tree, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, all the days of Solomon.

²⁶And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

²⁷And those officers provided victuals for king Solomon, and for all that came to king Solomon's table, every man in his month: they lacked nothing.

²⁸Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries they brought to the place where the officers were, every man according to his charge.

²⁹And God gave Solomon great wisdom and understanding, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea-shore.

³⁰And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

³¹For 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 the surrounding nations.

³²And he spoke three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five.
