1 Kings 4:20-25
201Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand that is on the 2seashore in abundance; they were eating, drinking, and rejoicing.
2134Now Solomon was ruling over all the kingdoms 5from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines and to the border of Egypt; 6they brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.
22Solomon’s 7provision for one day was 8thirty kors of fine flour and 9sixty kors of meal, 23ten fat oxen, twenty 10pasture-fed oxen, and a hundred sheep, besides deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fattened geese. 24For he was ruling over everything 11west of the Euphrates River, from Tiphsah even to 12Gaza, 13over all the kings 14west of the River; and 15he had peace on all sides surrounding him. 2516So Judah and Israel lived securely, everyone under his vine and his fig tree, 17from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.
