Seeker Overlay ON
*
Judah and Israel were many ,
as the sand which is by the sea in multitude ,
eating and drinking and making merry .
*
And Solomon ruled over all kingdoms from the river to the land of the Philistines ,
and as far as the border of Egypt :
they brought presents ,
and served Solomon all the days of his life .
*
And Solomon '
s provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour ,
and sixty measures of meal ,
*
ten fatted oxen ,
and twenty oxen out of the pastures ,
and a hundred sheep ,
besides harts ,
and gazelles ,
and fallow-deer ,
and fatted fowl .
*
For he had dominion over all on this side the river ,
from Tiphsah as far as Gazah ,
over all the kings on this side the river ;
and he had peace on all sides round about .
*
And Judah and Israel dwelt safely ,
every man under his vine and under his fig-tree ,
from Dan even to Beer-sheba ,
all the days of Solomon .
*
And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots ,
and twelve thousand horsemen .
*
And those officers provided food for king Solomon ,
and for all who came to king Solomon '
s table ,
every man in his month :
they let nothing be wanting .
*
And the barley ,
and the straw for the horses and coursers ,
they brought to the place where [
the superintendents ]
were ,
every man according to his charge .
