Context of 2 Chronicles 9:28
26He ruled all the kings from the Euphrates River to the country of the Philistines and as far as the Egyptian border. 27The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars as plentiful as fig trees in the foothills. Horses were imported for Solomon from Egypt and from all other countries. 29Aren’t the rest of Solomon’s acts from first to last written in the records of Nathan the prophet, in the prophecy of Ahijah from Shiloh, and in Iddo the seer’s visions about Jeroboam (son of Nebat)? 30Solomon ruled in Jerusalem over all Israel for 40 years.
