2 Chronicles 9:29-31

Solomon's Death

29 ¹Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, from ²first to last, are they not written in the history of ³Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of ⁴Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of ⁵Iddo ⁶the 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 ⁷the city of David his father, and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.

2 Chronicles 9:29-31 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.
