text:
And Solomon was ruler over all the kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines, and as far as the edge of Egypt; men gave him offerings and were his servants all the days of his life.


text:
And the amount of Solomon's food for one day was thirty measures of crushed grain and sixty measures of meal;


text:
Ten fat oxen and twenty oxen from the fields, and a hundred sheep, in addition to harts and gazelles and roes and fat fowls.


text:
For he had authority over all the country on this side of the River, from Tiphsah to Gaza, over all the kings on this side of the River; and he had peace round him on every side.


text:
So Judah and Israel were living safely, every man under his vine and his fig-tree, from Dan as far as Beer-sheba, all the days of Solomon.


text:
And Solomon had four thousand boxed-off spaces for horses for his carriages, and twelve thousand horsemen.


text:
And those overseers, every man in his month, saw that food was produced for Solomon and all his guests, they took care that nothing was overlooked.


text:
And they took grain and dry grass for the horses and the carriage-horses, to the right place, every man as he was ordered.


text:
And God gave Solomon a great store of wisdom and good sense, and a mind of wide range, as wide as the sand by the seaside.


text:
And Solomon's wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all the people of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt.


text:
For he was wiser than all men, even than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman and Calcol and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and he had a great name among all the nations round about.


text:
He made sayings about all plants, from the cedar in Lebanon to the hyssop hanging on the wall; and about all beasts and birds and fishes and the small things of the earth.


text:
People came from every nation to give ear to the wisdom of Solomon, from all the kings of the earth who had word of his wisdom.<pb/>
