2 Chronicles 9:22-31 ▼

22 And King Solomon becomes greater than any of the kings of the earth for riches and wisdom;

23 and all the kings of the earth are seeking the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom that God has put in his heart,

24 and they are each bringing in his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.

25 And there are four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen for Solomon, and he placed them in cities of the chariot, and with the king in Jerusalem.

26 And he is ruling over all the kings from the River even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.

27 And the king makes the silver in Jerusalem as stones, and he has made the cedars as sycamores that [are] in the low country, for abundance,

28 and they are bringing out horses from Egypt to Solomon, and from all the lands.

29 And the rest of the matters of Solomon, the first and the last, are they not written beside the matters of Nathan the prophet, and beside the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and with the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam son of Nebat?

30 And Solomon reigns in Jerusalem over all Israel [for] forty years,

31 and Solomon lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the city of his father David, and his son Rehoboam reigns in his stead.
