1 Kings 4:29

25Judah and Israel lived safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.

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

27Those officers provided food for King Solomon, and for all who came to King Solomon’s table, every man in his month. They let nothing be lacking.

28They also brought barley and straw for the horses and swift steeds to the place where the officers were, each man according to his duty.

29God gave Solomon abundant wisdom, understanding, and breadth of mind like the sand that is on the seashore.

30Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt.

31For he was wiser than all men—wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the nations all around.

32He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered one thousand five.

33He spoke of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even to the hyssop that grows out of the wall; he also spoke of animals, of birds, of creeping things, and of fish.
