25 And Solomon had 1 4,000 stalls for horses and chariots, and 12,000 horsemen, whom he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.
26 2And he ruled over all the kings 3from the Euphrates to the land of the Philistines and to the border of Egypt.
27 4And the king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stone, and he made cedar as plentiful as the sycamore of the Shephelah.
28 5And horses were imported for Solomon from Egypt and from all lands.

Solomon's Death

29 6Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, from 7first to last, are they not written in the history of 8Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of 9Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of 10Iddo 11the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
30 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
31 And Solomon slept with his fathers and was buried in 12the city of David his father, and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.

2 Chronicles 9:25-31 Meaning and Commentary

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.
