       1 Kings 5:11-13 King James Version (KJV)
       11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for
       food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus
       gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.
       12 And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and
       there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a
       league together.
       13 And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the
       levy was thirty thousand men.
       1 Kings 5:11-13 New Life Version (NLV)
       11 Then Solomon gave Hiram 200,000 baskets of grain as food for
       those of his house, and 200 jars of beaten oil. Solomon gave
       this to Hiram each year.12 And the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon,
       just as He promised him. There was peace between Hiram and
       Solomon, and they made an agreement.
       13 Now King Solomon made men work for him from all Israel. There
       were 30,000 men made to work for him.

       These are my thoughts, please share yours.
       11 The hiram is the women he chose to marry and their servants,
       this shows the great number of them, there were around a
       thousand women. This also shows that Solomon did have wealth to
       give this; many would never be able to get this in their
       lifetime let alone give it each year.
       12 Solomon had wisdom this would help him as long as he sought
       after the Lord but when he did not that decision he made were
       not using his wisdom but following his own desires. Solomon had
       peace.
       13 Solomon had many men working for him this also show his
       wealth. Solomon more men working for him than most businesses do
       today.
