23 All the kings of the earth sought an audience with Solomon (peace) to hear the wisdom that God {Elohim} had put in his heart. 24 Year after year, each visitor would bring his tribute: articles of silver and gold, clothing, weapons, spices, horses, and mules. 25 Solomon (peace) had 4,000 stalls for horses and chariots, and 12,000 horses (horsemen), which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem (city of peace). 26 He reigned over all the kings from the Euphrates \the River/ to the land of the Philistines (immigrants), as far as the border of Egypt (land of bondage). 27 The king made silver as common in Jerusalem (city of peace) as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills {Shephelah}. 28 Solomon’s (peace) horses were imported from Egypt (land of bondage) and from all the lands. 29 As for the rest of the acts of Solomon (peace), from beginning to end, are they not written in the Records of Nathan (giver) the Prophet, in the Prophecy of Ahijah (brother of Yah) the Shilonite, and in the Visions of Iddo (appointed) the Seer concerning Jeroboam (the people will contend) son of Nebat (aspect)? 30 Solomon (peace) reigned in Jerusalem (city of peace) over all Israel (he wrestles with God) forty years. 31 And Solomon (peace) rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of his father David (beloved). And his son Rehoboam (a people has enlarged) reigned in his place. 2 Chronicles 9:23-31, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
