1 Kings

1 Kings 4:22–28

²²Solomon’s provisions for a single day were thirty cors of fine flour,^f sixty cors of meal,^g ²³ten fat oxen, twenty range oxen, and a hundred sheep, as well as deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fattened poultry. ²⁴For Solomon had dominion over everything west of the Euphrates^h — over all the kingdoms from Tiphsah to Gaza — and he had peace on all sides. ²⁵Throughout the days of Solomon, Judah and Israel dwelt securely from Dan to Beersheba, each man under his own vine and his own fig tree.

²⁶Solomon had 4,000ⁱ stalls for his chariot horses and 12,000 horses.^j ²⁷Each month the governors in turn provided food for King Solomon and all who came to his table. They saw to it that nothing was lacking. ²⁸Each one also brought to the required place their quotas of barley and straw for the chariot horses and other horses.
