King James Version (KJV)
Ecclesiastes 2:7
“I got [me] servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:”
Verse in context — Ecclesiastes 2
I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all [kind of] fruits:
I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:
I got [me] servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:
I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, [as] musical instruments, and that of all sorts.
So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.
