Chapter 4
20 Judah and Israel were as many as the sand on the seashore, multiplying in eating and drinking and rejoicing. 21 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 bread for one day was: thirty cors of fine flour and sixty cors of flour. 23 ten oxen of fatlings and twenty oxen of pasture and a hundred sheep/flock aside from rams and gazelles and deer and fatted fowl fattened. 24 For he ruled over all beyond the River, from Tiphsah to Gaza, over all the kings beyond the River, and there was peace for him on all his sides all around. 25 And Judah dwelt, and Israel securely, each man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon. 26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls for horses for his chariots and twelve thousand horsemen. 27 And those stationed ones sustained King Solomon and all who approached the table of King Solomon; no man among them lacked anything. 28 And they shall bring barley and straw for the horses and for the swift steeds to the place where each man will be, according to his responsibility.
