Seeker Overlay ON
*
Judah and Israel were as many as the sand which is by the sea in multitude ,
eating and drinking and making merry .
*
And 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 .
*
And Solomon '
s provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour ,
and sixty measures of meal ,
*
ten fat oxen ,
and twenty oxen out of the pastures ,
and a hundred sheep ,
besides harts ,
and gazelles ,
and roebucks ,
and fatted fowl .
*
For he had dominion over all [
the region ]
on this side the River ,
from Tiphsah even to Gaza ,
over all the kings on this side of the River .
And he had peace on all sides round about him .
*
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 .
*
And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots ,
and twelve thousand horsemen .
*
And those officers provided provisions for king Solomon ,
and for all who came to king Solomon '
s table ,
every man in his month ;
they let nothing be lacking .
*
Barley also and straw for the horses and swift steeds they brought to the place where [
the officers ]
were ,
every man according to his charge .
