Yehuda and Yisrael were as numerous as the sands of the sea; they ate and drank and were contentI Kings 4:20 (The Israel Bible™)יְהוּדָה וְיִשְׂרָאֵל רַבִּים כַּחוֹל אֲשֶׁר־עַל־הַיָּם לָרֹב אֹכְלִים וְשֹׁתִים וּשְׂמֵחִיםHear the verse in Hebrewy’-hu-DAH v’-yis-ra-AYL ra-BEEM ka-KHOL a-asher al ha-YAM la-ROV o-kh’-LEEM v’-sho-TEEM us-may-KHEEM
The Fulfillment of God's Blessings
Unlike King David who began his rule only over Yehuda (Judea), King Shlomo (Solomon) ruled over a united kingdom comprising all of Yehuda and Yisrael (Israel). Everyone in the kingdom recognized King Shlomo’s rule, due to the universal recognition of his God-given wisdom. I Kings 4 ends with a reward for unity among the People of Israel: they become as numerous as the sand on the sea shore and successful in the Land of Israel, thereby seeing the fulfillment of the blessing Hashem (God) gave to Avraham (Abraham).
