Context of 2 Chronicles 9:28
26He ruled over all the kings around Israel, from the Euphrates river as far as the Philistines' country and the border of Egypt. 27While Solomon ruled as king, there was as much silver in Jerusalem as stones! There was as much wood from cedar trees as there were fig trees that grew in the low hills in the west. People brought horses to Solomon from Egypt and from all the other countries. 29People wrote down everything else that Solomon did while he ruled as king, from the beginning to the end. The prophet Nathan wrote them down in his book. The prophet Ahijah who came from Shiloh also wrote them down. The prophet Iddo also wrote about them in his book of the visions that he saw about Nebat's son Jeroboam. 30Solomon ruled over all Israel for 40 years while he lived in Jerusalem.
