2 Chronicles 9:25-31

25 Solomon also had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, together with twelve thousand horsemen that he kept in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.

26 He ruled all the kings from the Euphrates to the Philistines' land and the border of Egypt.

27 In Jerusalem, the king made silver as common as stones and cedar as common as sycamore trees that grow in the foothills.

28 Solomon's horses were imported from Egypt and every land.

Solomon’s remaining days

29 The rest of Solomon's deeds, from beginning to end, aren't they written in the records of the prophet Nathan, the prophecies of Ahijah from Shiloh, and the visions of the seer Iddo concerning Jeroboam, Nebat's son?

30 Solomon ruled over all Israel in Jerusalem for forty years.

31 Solomon lay down with his ancestors and was buried in David's City with his father. His son Rehoboam succeeded him as king.

INTRODUCTION TO 2 CHRONICLES 9 & 10

The ninth chapter is the same with 1Ki 10:1-29 excepting 2Ch 9:26, which agrees with 1Ki 4:21,29-31, the same with 1Ki 11:41-43, only in 2Ch 9:29 it is more largely expressed that the acts of Solomon's reign were 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; or rather "concerning Jeroboam", as the Septuagint and some other versions {b}, in which Iddo is called Joel; and by Theodoret said to be the same that prophesied of Jeroboam and his altar, \\see Gill on "1Ki 13:1"\\; the books mentioned are since lost.
