1 Kings 4:26

Solomon

24 For Solomon had dominion over everything west of the Euphrates —over all the kingdoms from Tiphsah to Gaza—and he had peace on all sides.

25 Throughout the days of Solomon, Judah and Israel dwelt securely from Dan to Beersheba, each man under his own vine and his own fig tree.

Solomon had 4,000 stalls for his chariot horses and 12,000 horses.

27 Each month the governors in turn provided food for King Solomon and all who came to his table. They saw to it that nothing was lacking.

28 Each one also brought to the required place their quotas of barley and straw for the chariot horses and other horses.
