Context of 1 Kings 11:41

39Because of Solomon's sins I will punish David's descendants. But I will not punish them for ever.” ’ 40Solomon then tried to kill Jeroboam, but Jeroboam escaped to Egypt.

They buried him with his ancestors, in the city of his father David. His son Rehoboam became king after him.

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 41The book of the acts of Solomon? - These acts were written by Nathan the prophet, Ahijah the Shilonite, and Iddo the seer; as we learn from 2 Chronicles 9:29.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 41-43The brief summary of Solomon’s reign and death is similar to that of his father David (1 Kings 2:10–12).
