1 Kings 4:28 in context
26And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
27And those officers provided victual for king Solomon, and for all that came unto king Solomon’s table, every man in his month: they lacked nothing.
28Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries brought they unto the place where the officers were, every man according to his charge.

30And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
