Solomon’s Prosperous Reign
20 The people of Judah and Israel were as numerous as the grains of sand on the seashore; they ate and drank, and were happy. 21 Gn 15.18;2 Ch 9.26Solomon’s kingdom included all the nations from the Euphrates Riverto Philistia and the Egyptianborder. They paid him taxes and were subject to him all his life.
22 The supplies Solomonneeded each day were 150 bushelsof fine flour and 300 bushelsof meal; 23 10 stall-fed cattle, 20 pasture-fed cattle, and 100 sheep, besides deer, gazelles, roebucks, and poultry.
24 Solomon ruled over all the land west of the Euphrates River, from Tiphsahon the Euphratesas far west as the city of Gaza. All the kings west of the Euphrateswere subject to him, and he was at peace with all the neighboring countries. 25 As long as he lived, the people throughout Judah and Israel lived in safety, each family with its own grapevines and fig trees.
26 1 K 10.26;2 Ch 1.14;9.25Solomonhad forty thousand stalls for his chariot horses and twelve thousand cavalry horses. 27 His twelve governors, each one in the month assigned to him, supplied the food King Solomonneeded for himself and for all who ate in the palace; they always supplied everything needed. 28 Each governor also supplied his share of barley and straw, where it was needed,4.28: where it was needed; or wherever King Solomon was.for the chariot horses and the work animals.
29 God gave Solomonunusual wisdom and insight, and knowledge too great to be measured. 30 Solomonwas wiser than the wise men of the Eastor the wise men of Egypt. 31 Ps 89TitleHe was the wisest of all men: wiser than Ethanthe Ezrahite, and Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol, and his fame spread throughout all the neighboring countries. 32 Pr 1.1;10.1;25.1;Sgs 1.1He composed three thousand proverbs and more than a thousand songs. 33 He spoke of trees and plants, from the Lebanoncedars to the hyssop that grows on walls; he talked about animals, birds, reptiles, and fish. 34 Kings all over the world heard of his wisdom and sent people to listen to him.
