Ecclesiastes 2:5-9

⁵I made myself gardens and fruit gardens, planting in them fruit-trees of all sorts.

⁶I made pools to give water for the woods with their young trees.

⁷I got men-servants and women-servants, and they gave birth to sons and daughters in my house. I had great wealth of herds and flocks, more than all who were in Jerusalem before me.

⁸I got together silver and gold and the wealth of kings and of countries. I got makers of song, male and female; and the delights of the sons of men — girls of all sorts to be my brides.

⁹And I became great; increasing more than all who had been before me in Jerusalem, and my wisdom was still with me.
