1 Kings 4:22-28
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
22 Solomon’s provision for one day was thirty cors of choice flour and sixty cors of meal, 23 ten fat oxen and twenty pasture-fed cattle, one hundred sheep, besides deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fatted fowl. 24 For he had dominion over all the region west of the Euphrates,[a] and he had peace on all sides.(A) 25 During Solomon’s lifetime Judah and Israel lived in safety, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, all of them under their vines and fig trees.(B) 26 Solomon also had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots and twelve thousand horsemen.(C) 27 Those officials supplied provisions for King Solomon and for all who came to King Solomon’s table, each one in his month; they let nothing be lacking.(D) 28 They also brought to the required place barley and straw for the horses and swift steeds, each according to his charge.
