Solomon's Death
9:29-31pp -- 1Ki 11:41-43
29 As for the other events of Solomon's reign, from beginning to end, are they not written in the records of Nathan8 the prophet, in the prophecy of Ahijah9 the Shilonite and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam10 son of Nebat? 30 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. 31 Then he rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of David11 his father. And Rehoboam his son succeeded him as king.Scripture quoted by permission. Quotations designated (NIV) are from THE HOLY BIBLE: NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION®. NIV®.
