20 Judah and Israel were numerous as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and making merry.
Source Text Study
Relevant source witnesses currently attached to 1 Kings 4:20. Some ancient sources use different book or verse structures, so availability notes call out gaps honestly instead of forcing five panels everywhere.
How to read this study data
Source panels are separated by tradition and license. Imported or dataset-backed morphology is stronger than generated or rule-aligned morphology, and editorial alignment notes explain source-structure exceptions without pretending to be ancient source text.
When a verse uses different numbering in a source tradition, Spirit Nation may show the closest mapped source reference and label it directly on the panel.

Coverage: Source-structure exceptions
Explains reader references where the imported tradition does not align one-to-one.
Editorial alignment note: The Greek Septuagint tradition often follows different ordering, grouping, or book structure here. Reader-side public-domain text for this reference: "¶ Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry." This panel is a study bridge only, not a replacement for an ancient source witness.
