They brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life. 22 Now Solomon's provision for one day was thirty kors of Rine Rlour, sixty kors of meal, 23 ten fatted oxen, twenty oxen from the pastures, and one hundred sheep, besides deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fatted fowl. 24 For he had dominion over all the region on this side of the River from Tiphsah even to Gaza, namely over all
