2 Chronicles 9:22-31 Amplified Bible (AMP)

22. King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.

23. And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom which God had put into his mind.

24. And every man brought his tribute: silver and gold articles, robes, armor, spices, horses, and mules, so much year by year.

25. Solomon had 4,000 stalls for horses and chariots, and 12,000 horsemen, stationed in chariot cities or at Jerusalem with the king. [Deut. 17:16, 17.]

26. And he ruled over all the kings from the [Euphrates] River to the land of Philistia and to the frontier of Egypt.

27. The king made silver in Jerusalem as common as stones, and cedar wood as plentiful as sycamore trees in the lowlands.

28. And they imported horses for Solomon from Egypt and from all lands.

29. Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, from first to last, are they not written in the history of Nathan the prophet and 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 slept with his fathers; he was buried in the city of David his father. Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
