1 Kings 4 - Solomon

All those names to remember! Two Azariahs even! I know I won't be remembering them; therefore, an earmark so I can refresh my memory when I need to know who is who in Solomon's court.

"Judah and Israel were as many as the sand by the sea" under Solomon's rule. And...exactly how huge is Solomon's household? Take a good look at how much it took to feed his household each day: 180 bushels of flour, 360 bushels meal, ten oxen, 20 cattle, 100 hundred sheep, besides a whole lot of wild game. Course then, he probably had to feed those who slaughtered and cooked all these animals, as well. And, who gets to wash all those dishes?

Solomon leads the people with wisdom and they live in peace. It's about time!
