21And Solomon was authorized in the entire Kingdom from the river of the land of the Philistines and unto the borders of Egypt, and they were bringing gifts and they were serving Solomon all the days of his life.

22And the bread of Solomon in one day was thirty cors of fine flour, and sixty cors of meal. 23And ten fattened oxen and twenty grazing oxen and a hundred sheep, apart from harts and deer and antelope and fattened fowl. 24Because he was authorized over all the crossing of the river from Takhpis and unto Aza and over all Kings of the crossing of the river, and he had peace from all its sides and from all of them around him. 25And Yehuda and Israel dwelt in quietness, each man under his vines and under his fig trees, from Dan and unto Beersheba, all the days of Solomon. 26And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his riding, and twelve thousand horsemen. 27And these Governors nourished King Solomon and everyone who came to the table of King Solomon, each man of his month, and they did not reduce anything. 28And they brought to the place barley and straw for the stallions and for the mares, where there was a man, according to his right.

29And God gave to Solomon wisdom and understanding and greatness of heart in great abundance. 30And the wisdom of Solomon was greater than the wisdom of all the sons of the East, and than the wisdom of the Egyptians. 31And he was wiser than any man, than Ethan the Easterner and Haman and Kelkal and Darda the sons of Mekhul, and his name was in all the nations that were around him. 32And he spoke three thousand proverbs and his songs were one thousand and five. 33And he spoke about trees, from the cedars of Lebanon and unto the lof bean plant that goes forth in the wall, and he spoke about animal and about bird and about creeping things and about fish. 34And they were coming from all of the nations to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all the Kings of the Earth, and he was receiving gifts from all the Kings of the Earth who heard his wisdom.
