Prosperity and Wisdom of Solomon’s Reign
20 Judah and Israel were as numerous aas the sand by the sea in multitude, beating and drinking and rejoicing.
21 So aSolomon reigned over all kingdoms from bthe River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt. cThey brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.
22 aNow Solomon’s1 provision for one day was thirty2 kors of fine flour, sixty kors of meal,
23 ten fatted oxen, twenty oxen from the pastures, and one hundred sheep, besides deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fatted fowl.
24 For he had dominion over all the region on this side of1 the River from Tiphsah even to Gaza, namely over aall the kings on this side of the River; and bhe had peace on every side all around him.
25 And Judah and Israel adwelt safely, beach man under his vine and his fig tree, cfrom Dan as far as Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.
26 aSolomon had1 forty thousand stalls of bhorses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
