23
And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
24
Each man brought his present: articles of silver and gold, garments, armor, spices, horses, and mules, at a set rate year by year.
25
Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen whom he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem.
26
So he reigned over all the kings from the River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt.
27
The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedar trees as abundant as the sycamores which are in the lowland.
28
And they brought horses to Solomon from Egypt and from all lands.
29
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
30
Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
31
Then Solomon rested with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David his father. And Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
