Ecclesiastes 2:7-9

Lexham English Bible

⁷ I acquired male slaves and female slaves, as well as children born in my house. I also had livestock, cattle, and flocks more than anyone who was before me in Jerusalem. ⁸ I also gathered to myself silver and gold—the royal and provincial treasuries. I acquired for myself male and female singers, as well as the delight of men,^[a] voluptuous concubines.^[b]

⁹ Thus, I accomplished far more^[c] than anyone who was before me in Jerusalem—indeed, my wisdom stood by me.
