2 Chronicles 9:22-31

New International Version

²² King Solomon was greater in riches and wisdom than all the other kings of the earth.^{(A) 23} All the kings^(B) of the earth sought audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom God had put in his heart. ²⁴ Year after year, everyone who came brought a gift^(C)—articles of silver and gold, and robes, weapons and spices, and horses and mules.

²⁵ Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots,^(D) and twelve thousand horses,^[a] which he kept in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem. ²⁶ He ruled^(E) over all the kings from the Euphrates River^(F) to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt.^{(G) 27} The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as plentiful as sycamore-fig trees in the foothills. ²⁸ Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and from all other countries.

Solomon’s Death^(H)

²⁹ As for the other events of Solomon’s reign, from beginning to end, are they not written in the records of Nathan^(I) the prophet, in the prophecy of Ahijah^(J) the Shilonite and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam^(K) son of Nebat? ³⁰ Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. ³¹ Then he rested with his ancestors and was buried in the city of David^(L) his father. And Rehoboam his son succeeded him as king.
