1 Kings 4:20-28
Solomon’s Prosperity

20 Judah and Israel [were] many, as the sand which [is] by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry.

20:

21 And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt: they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life.

21:

22 And Solomon’s provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal,

22:

23 Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an hundred sheep, beside harts, and roebucks, and fallowdeer, and fatted fowl.

23:

24 For he had dominion over all [the region] on this side the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on this side the river: and he had peace on all sides round about him.

24:

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

25:

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

26:

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

27:

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

28:
