- 20 Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand that is on the seashore in abundance; they were eating and drinking and rejoicing.
- 21 Now Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines and to the border of Egypt; they brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.
- 22 Solomon's provision for one day was thirty kors of fine flour and sixty kors of meal
- 23 ten fat oxen twenty pasture-fed oxen a hundred sheep besides deer gazelles roebucks and fattened fowl.
- 24 For he had dominion over everything west of the River from Tiphsah even to Gaza over all the kings west of the River; and he had peace on all sides around about him.
- 25 So Judah and Israel lived in safety every man under his vine and his fig tree from Dan even to Beersheba all the days of Solomon.
- 26 Solomon had 40000 stalls of horses for his chariots and 12000 horsemen.
- 27 Those deputies provided for King Solomon and all who came to King Solomon's table each in his month; they left nothing lacking.
- 28 They also brought barley and straw for the horses and swift steeds to the place where it should be each according to his charge.
- 29 Now God gave Solomon wisdom and very great discernment and breadth of mind like the sand that is on the seashore.
- 30 Solomon's wisdom surpassed the wisdom of all the sons of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt.
- 31 For he was wiser than all men than Ethan the Ezrahite Heman Calcol and Darda the sons of Mahol; and his fame was known in all the surrounding nations.
- 32 He also spoke 3000 proverbs and his songs were 1005.
- 33 He spoke of trees from the cedar that is in Lebanon even to the hyssop that grows on the wall; he spoke also of animals and birds and creeping things and fish.
- 34 Men came from all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom.
