22 The supplies Solomon needed each day were 5,000 litres of fine flour and 10,000 litres of meal;
23 ten stall-fed cattle, twenty pasture-fed cattle, and a hundred sheep, besides deer, gazelles, roebucks, and poultry.
24 Solomon ruled over all the land west of the River Euphrates, from Tiphsah on the Euphrates as far west as the city of Gaza. All the kings west of the Euphrates were subject to him, and he was at peace with all the neighbouring countries.
25 As long as he lived, the people throughout Judah and Israel lived in safety, each family with its own grapevines and fig trees.
26 Solomon had 40,000 stalls for his chariot horses and 12,000 cavalry horses.
27 His twelve governors, each one in the month assigned to him, supplied the food King Solomon needed for himself and for all who ate in the palace; they always supplied everything needed.
28 Each governor also supplied his share of barley and straw, where it was needed, for the chariot horses and the draught animals.
