1 Kings 4:28

26 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.

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

29 And God gave Solomon wisdom, exceedingly deep insight, and understanding beyond measure, like the sand on the seashore.

30 Solomon’s wisdom was greater than that of all the men of the East, greater than all the wisdom of Egypt.
