2 Chronicles - ch 9 v 21 - 31
- For the king had Tarshish-ships sailing with the servants of Huram: once every three years the Tarshish-ships came back with gold and silver, ivory and monkeys and peacocks.
- And King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and in wisdom.
- And all the kings of the earth came to see Solomon and to give ear to his wisdom, which God had put into his heart.
- And everyone took with him an offering, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and robes, and coats of metal, and spices, and horses and beasts for transport, regularly year by year.
- Solomon had four thousand buildings for his horses and his war-carriages, and twelve thousand horsemen whom he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king in Jerusalem.
- And he was ruler over all the kings from the River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the limit of Egypt.
- The king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem and cedars like the sycamore-trees of the lowlands in number.
- They got horses for Solomon from Egypt and from every land.
- Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not recorded in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the words of Ahijah the prophet of Shiloh, and in the visions of Iddo the seer about Jeroboam, the son of Nebat?
- Solomon was king over Israel in Jerusalem for forty years.
- And Solomon went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David his father; and Rehoboam his son became king in his place.
