The period that David reigned over Israel was forty years; seven years he reigned in Hebron, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years.

Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

And in front of it the temple sanctuary was forty cubits long.

And it was paneled with cedar above the beams that were on forty-five pillars, fifteen to a row.

Then he made ten lavers of bronze; each laver contained forty baths, and each laver was four cubits. On each of the ten carts was a laver.

And the period that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

Rehoboam Reigns in Judah

And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king. He reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. His mother’s name was Naamah, an Ammonitess.

And he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His grandmother’s name was Maachah the granddaughter of Abishalom.

So he arose, and ate and drank; and he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights as far as Horeb, the mountain of God.
