1 Kings 4:26-34 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

26. And Shelomoh had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

27. And these governors, each one in his month, provided food for Sovereign Shelomoh and for all who came to the table of Sovereign Shelomoh. There was no lack in their supply.

28. They also brought barley and straw to the appointed place, for the horses and steeds, each one according to his right- ruling.

29. And Elohim gave Shelomoh exceeding great wisdom and understanding, and largeness of heart like the sand on the seashore.

30. And Shelomoh’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the men of the East and all the wisdom of Mitsrayim.

31. For he was wiser than all men, than Ěythan the Ezrahite, and Hĕman, and Kalkol, and Darda, the sons of Maḥol. And his name was in all the nations round about.

32. And he spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs were one thousand and five.

33. And he spoke of trees, from the cedar tree of Leḇanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall. And he spoke of beasts, and of birds, and of creeping creatures, and of fish.

34. And there came from all peoples, from all the sovereigns of the earth who had heard of his wisdom, to hear the wisdom of Shelomoh.
