As for the rest of the acts of Solomon
This phrase introduces the idea that Solomon's reign was filled with numerous deeds and accomplishments beyond what is recorded in the immediate text. The Hebrew word for "acts" (מַעֲשִׂים, ma'asim) often refers to deeds or works, emphasizing the tangible impact of Solomon's rule. Solomon's acts included his wisdom, wealth, and the building of the Temple, which were pivotal in establishing Israel's golden age. Historically, Solomon's reign is marked by peace and prosperity, a fulfillment of God's promise to David.

from beginning to end
This phrase suggests a comprehensive account of Solomon's life and reign. The Hebrew words used here (מִן־רֵאשִׁית עַד־אַחֲרִית, min-reishit ad-acharit) imply a complete narrative, from the inception of his kingship to its conclusion. This reflects the biblical principle that God is sovereign over the entirety of a person's life, from start to finish. It also underscores the importance of a life lived in faithfulness to God's calling.

are they not written
This rhetorical question implies that the detailed records of Solomon's reign were well-documented and accessible to the people of Israel. The Hebrew verb for "written" (כָּתוּב, katuv) indicates a formal recording, suggesting the importance of preserving history and divine acts for future generations. This practice of documentation is crucial for understanding God's work through history.

in the records of Nathan the prophet
Nathan was a prominent prophet during the reigns of David and Solomon. The mention of "records" (דִּבְרֵי, divrei) indicates that Nathan's writings were considered authoritative and reliable. Nathan's role as a prophet was to convey God's messages, and his records would have provided spiritual insights and guidance. This highlights the importance of prophetic voices in guiding and correcting leaders according to God's will.

in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite
Ahijah was another prophet who played a significant role during Solomon's time, particularly in relation to Jeroboam. The term "prophecy" (נְבוּאָה, nevu'ah) refers to divinely inspired messages. Ahijah's prophecies were crucial in foretelling the division of the kingdom, demonstrating God's sovereignty and the consequences of disobedience. The mention of Ahijah underscores the continuity of God's revelation through different prophets.

and in the visions of Iddo the seer
Iddo is referred to as a "seer" (חֹזֶה, chozeh), a term often used interchangeably with prophet but emphasizing the visionary aspect of receiving divine revelation. Visions were a common means through which God communicated His will and future events. Iddo's visions concerning Jeroboam highlight the prophetic tradition of warning and guiding God's people, reinforcing the idea that God provides direction through chosen individuals.

concerning Jeroboam son of Nebat
Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, was a significant figure in Israel's history, as he led the northern tribes in rebellion against Solomon's son, Rehoboam. This phrase indicates that the prophetic writings included not only the acts of Solomon but also the unfolding events that would lead to the division of the kingdom. Jeroboam's rise and the subsequent division serve as a reminder of the consequences of turning away from God's commandments, emphasizing the need for faithfulness and obedience.

(c) REFERENCE TO DOCUMENTS.--CLOSE OF THE REIGN (2Chronicles 9:29-31). (Comp. 1Kings 11:41-43.)

(29) Now the rest of the acts of Solomon.--Or, story, history; literally, words. (Comp. 1Chronicles 29:29.)

First and last.--Or, the former and the latter. Instead of this, Kings has, "and all that he did, and his wisdom."

In the book.--Or, history. For the sources named here, see the Introduction. Kings has simply, "are they not written in the book of the history of Solomon? "His name conveyed the idea of peace to the Hebrew ear. But there is no doubt that it was originally identical with Shalman (Assyrian Salmanu), the name of a god. Tiglath-pileser II. mentions a Salamanu king of Moab. This name exactly corresponds to Solomon.

Ahijah the Shilonite.--See 1Kings 11:29-39; 1Kings 14:2-18. . . .

Verse 29. - Nathan the prophet... Ahijah the Shilonite... Iddo the seer. For these original authorities of the history, see our Introduction (vol. 1. p. 8:2, and p. 9:3). The present quotation of the name of Ahijah in connection with his work, and the brief allusion to himself in our 2 Chronicles 10:15, are the only appearances of Ahijah in Chronicles. He and the importance of his work are clear enough from 1 Kings 11:28-40; 1 Kings 14:1-20. As the compiler of Chronicles evidently by a law omits any even reference to the defection of Solomon, it is natural that the name and special ministry of Ahijah should fall into the shade with him. Uniformly it is observable in Chronicles that the personal is not enlarged upon where it is not directly and indispensably ancillary to the ecclesiastical and national history. On the other hand, the writer of Kings does not once mention Iddo the seer, whereas we read of him again twice in Chronicles (2 Chronicles 12:15; 2 Chronicles 13:22).
