Shlomo had twelve officers over all Isra’el who were in charge of providing food and supplies for the king and his household; each one was in charge of provisions for one month out of the year.
In his wisdom, Shlomo set up 12 officials to help care for Israel as well as rotate making special provisions for his and his household. He trusted The LORD, but designed a resilient, clever system that would serve his purpose in a sustainable way. Being wise and clever to make life better and easier for ourselves is a gift from Heaven, we should fully embrace it.
