"I bought men-servants and maid-servants, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all that were before me in Jerusalem;" — Ecclesiastes 2:7 (ASV)
Got me.—The servants acquired by purchase are distinguished from those born in the house. (Concerning the number of Solomon’s servants, see 1 Kings 4:27; 1 Kings 10:5; and of his cattle, 1 Kings 4:23, 1 Kings 8:63.)
