the
days
of

.
Solomon had
4,000
stalls for his chariot

and

.
Each
month
the
governors
in
turn
provided
food

lacking.
And
these
officers
have
sustained
king Solomon and every
one
drawing
near
unto
the
table of
king
Solomon,
each
`in'
his
month;
they let
nothing be
lacking.

one
also
brought
to
the required
place
their
quotas
of
barley and straw for the
chariot
horses and other
horses
.

straw ,
for horses and for
dromedaries,
they
bring

And God gave
Solomon
wisdom ,

deep
insight
, and understanding beyond
measure
, like
the sand on the seashore.
And God giveth
wisdom to
Solomon
, and understanding, very
much,
and
breadth
of
heart,
as
the sand that
`is'
on the edge
of
the
sea;
Solomon’s
wisdom was
greater than that
of all
the men
of the East, greater
than all the wisdom of Egypt .
and
the
wisdom of
Solomon
is
greater than the
wisdom
of any
of
the sons
of the east, and
than all the wisdom of Egypt ;
He was
wiser than all men —wiser
than Ethan the Ezrahite, and wiser
than
Heman, Calcol
, and Darda, the
sons of Mahol .
And his fame
spread
throughout
the surrounding
nations.
and
he is
wiser than all men ,
than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and
Chalcol
, and Darda, sons of Mahol ,
and his name
is
in
all
the nations round
about
.
Solomon
composed
three thousand proverbs
, and his songs numbered
a
thousand
and
five .
And
he
speaketh
three thousand similes
, and his songs `are'
five ,
and
the
chief
one;
He spoke
of
trees, from the cedar in Lebanon to
the hyssop growing
in the wall, and he taught
about
animals
, birds
, reptiles
, and fish.
and
he speaketh
concerning
the
trees, from the cedar that
`is'
in Lebanon ,
even
unto
the hyssop that
is
coming
out
in the wall, and he speaketh
concerning
the
cattle
, and
concerning
the
fowl
, and
concerning
the
creeping
things
, and concerning
the
fishes,
So
men
of all nations
came
to
listen
to Solomon’s
wisdom, sent
by
all the
kings of the earth ,
who had
heard of his wisdom.
and
there
come
out
of all the
peoples
to hear
the
wisdom of
Solomon
, from
all kings of the earth who have
heard of his wisdom.
