1 Kings 4:20-25

Christian Standard Bible

Solomon’s Provisions

²⁰ Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand by the sea;^(A) they were eating, drinking, and rejoicing. ²¹ Solomon ruled all the kingdoms from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines and as far as the border of Egypt.^(B) They offered tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.^(C)

²² Solomon’s provisions for one day were 180 bushels^[a] of fine flour and 360 bushels^[b] of meal, ²³ ten fattened cattle, twenty range cattle, and a hundred sheep and goats, besides deer, gazelles, roebucks, and pen-fed poultry,^{[c](D) 24} for he had dominion over everything west of the Euphrates from Tiphsah to Gaza and over all the kings west of the Euphrates. He had peace on all his surrounding borders. ²⁵ Throughout Solomon’s reign, Judah and Israel lived in safety from Dan to Beer-sheba,^(E) each person under his own vine and his own fig tree.^(F)
