longe in þe; yeare to make prouysion: The sonne
of Hur vpon mount Ephraim. The sonne

londe. As for Iuda and Israel, they were in
nombre as the sonde of the see, and ate and
dronke, and were mery. noteThus was Salom&obar;
lorde ouer all the kyngdomes (from the water
of the londe of the Philistynes, vnto the
border of Egipte) which broughte him giftes,
and serued him as longe as he lyued.
And Salomon had daylie to his vytayles
thirtye quarters of fyne meel, threscore
quarters of other meel, ten fat oxen, and tw&ebar;ty
small catell, and an hundreth shepe, beside
hartes and Roes, and wilde goates, and fat
capons, and foules. For he had the lordshippe
of all the londe on this syde the water, fr&obar;
Tiphsa vnto Gasa, and ouer all þe; kynges on

rounde aboute, so that Iuda and Israel
dwelt safe, euery one vnder his vyne, and
vnder his figge tre, from Dan vnto Berseba,
as longe as Salomon lyued.
C And Salom&obar; had fortye thousande cart
horses and twolue thousande horsmen. And
the officers prouyded the kynge Salomon
with vytayles: and whatsoeuer belonged to
the kynges table, that brought euery man in
-- --
his moneth, and myssed not: Barlye also ∧
strawe for the horses and coursers, ∧ broughte
them vnto the place where þe; kynge was,
euery one after his charge.
noteAnd God gaue Salomon maruelous
greate wy&esset;dome and vnderstondinge, and
a large hert, as the sonde that lyeth vpon þe;
See shore: so that the wy&esset;dome of Salomon
was greater then the wy&esset;dome of all
the children towarde the south and of all þe;
Egipcians. And he was wyser then all men,
yee wyser then Ethan the Esrahite, Heman,
Chalcal, and Darda, the sonnes of Mahol:
and had a greate name amonge all the Heyth&ebar;
on euery syde. And he spake thre thousande
note prouerbes, ∧ his note songes were a thousande
∧ fyue. And he spake of trees, from þe; Ceder
of Libanus vnto the Isope þt; groweth
out of þe; wall: he talked also of catell, of foules,
of wormes, of fi&esset;hes. And there came
of all nacions to heare þe; wy&esset;dome of Salomon,
and there came of all the kynges of
þe; earth, which had herde of his wy&esset;dome.
