26 Solomon had forty thousand horse stalls for his chariots and twelve thousand additional horses.
27 The officials provided King Solomon and all who joined him at the royal table with monthly food rations. They left out nothing.
28 Each brought their share of barley and straw for the horses and for the chariot horses, bringing it to its proper place.
29 And God gave Solomon wisdom and very great understanding—insight as long as the seashore itself.
30 Solomon’s wisdom was greater than all the famous Easterners, greater even than all the wisdom of Egypt.
31 He was wiser than anyone, more wise than Ethan the Ezrahite or Mahol’s sons: Heman, Calcol, and Darda. His reputation was known throughout the region.
32 Solomon spoke three thousand proverbs and one thousand five songs.
