26. And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
27. And those officers provided victuals for king Solomon, and for all that came to king Solomon's table, every man in his month: they lacked nothing.
28. Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries they brought to the place where the officers were, every man according to his charge.
29. And God gave Solomon great wisdom and understanding, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea-shore.
30. And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
31. For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all the surrounding nations.
32. And he spoke three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five.
