As for the rest of the acts of Solomon
This phrase introduces a summary statement about King Solomon's reign. The Hebrew word for "acts" is "דִּבְרֵי" (divrei), which can also mean "words" or "matters." This suggests that the chronicler is referring to a comprehensive account of Solomon's deeds, both public and private. Solomon's reign was marked by significant achievements, including the construction of the Temple in Jerusalem, extensive trade, and diplomatic relations. Historically, Solomon's era is often seen as a golden age for Israel, characterized by peace and prosperity.

all that he did
The phrase emphasizes the totality of Solomon's accomplishments. The Hebrew word "כָּל" (kol) means "all" or "every," indicating that nothing of importance was omitted from the record. Solomon's actions were numerous and varied, from his administrative reforms to his building projects. His reign was a time of great architectural and cultural development, which left a lasting impact on the nation of Israel.

as well as his wisdom
Solomon's wisdom is legendary, and the Hebrew word "חָכְמָתוֹ" (chokhmato) underscores this attribute. Solomon's wisdom was a divine gift, famously demonstrated in the judgment of the two women claiming the same baby (1 Kings 3:16-28). His wisdom extended beyond judicial matters to include knowledge of nature, proverbs, and songs. Solomon's wisdom was renowned throughout the ancient world, attracting visitors like the Queen of Sheba, who came to test him with hard questions (1 Kings 10:1-13).

are they not written
This rhetorical question implies that the deeds and wisdom of Solomon were well-documented. The Hebrew verb "כָּתוּבִים" (k'tuvim) means "written," suggesting that there was a formal record of Solomon's reign. This documentation would have served as an official account for future generations, preserving the memory of Solomon's contributions to Israel's history.

in the Book of the Acts of Solomon?
The "Book of the Acts of Solomon" is mentioned here as a source for further information about Solomon's reign. While this book is not part of the biblical canon, it is believed to have been a historical record, possibly similar to the annals kept by other ancient Near Eastern kingdoms. The existence of such a book indicates that Solomon's reign was of significant interest and importance, warranting detailed documentation. This reference also highlights the practice of recording royal histories, which was common in the ancient world.

(41) The book of the acts of Solomon.--In 2Chronicles 9:29 the acts of Solomon are said to be "written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat." The prophets appear here in the character of annalists. The book of Nathan presumably contained only the history of the early years; that of Ahijah may have well covered most of the later reign; and the visions of Iddo "could but have dealt incidentally with the closing acts of Solomon. The narrative as given in the Book of Kings is evidently a compilation drawn from various sources, differing in various parts, both in style and in degree of detail. Thus the account of the Temple building and dedication evidently comes from some temple record; and the references to Solomon's territory, and the arrangements of his kingdom, look like notes drawn from official archives.

Verse 41. - And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon? [The sources of this history are mentioned more specifically in 2 Chronicles 9:29.]
