23. And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart.
24. And of these, each his present, vessels of silver and vessels of gold and raiment, arms, spices, horses, and mules, every year.
25. And Solomon also had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
26. And he reigned over all the kings from the river even unto the land of the Philistines and to the border of Egypt.
27. And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedar trees as the sycamore trees that are in the low plains in abundance.
28. And they brought unto Solomon horses out of Egypt and out of all lands.
29. Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the books 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?
30. And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
31. And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David, his father; and Rehoboam, his son, reigned in his stead.
