Context of 2 Chronicles 9:29
27The king made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stone. And valuable cedar timber was as common as the sycamore-fig trees that grow in the foothills of Judah. 28Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and many other countries. The rest of the events of Solomon’s reign, from beginning to end, are recorded in The Record of Nathan the Prophet, and The Prophecy of Ahijah from Shiloh, and also in The Visions of Iddo the Seer, concerning Jeroboam son of Nebat. 30Solomon ruled in Jerusalem over all Israel for forty years. 31When he died, he was buried in the City of David, named for his father. Then his son Rehoboam became the next king.

Commentaries on 2 Chronicles 9:29
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 29Nathan the prophet - These books are all lost. See the account of Solomon, his character, and a review of his works, at the end of 1 Kings 11:43; (note). I. By the kindness of a learned friend, who has made this kind of subjects his particular study, I am able to give a more correct view of the value of the talent of gold and the talent of silver than that which I have quoted 1 Kings 10:17, from Mr. Reynold's State of the Greatest King. 1. To find the…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 29The book of Nathan - On the “books” here mentioned, see the introduction to Chronicles, the second note. We hear nothing of Iddo in Kings: but he is mentioned below twice 2 Chronicles 12:15; 2 Chronicles 13:22. In the latter of these passages he is called not “the seer,” but “the prophet.” He seems to have been the author of three works: (1) Visions against Jeroboam; (2) A book of genealogies; and (3) A commentary or history. According to some, he was…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 13-31Verses 13-31 The imports here mentioned, would show that prosperity drew the minds of Solomon and his subjects to the love of things curious and uncommon, though useless in themselves. True wisdom and happiness are always united together; but no such alliance exists between wealth and the enjoyment of the things of this life. Let us then acquaint ourselves with the Saviour, that we may find rest for our souls. Here is Solomon reigning in wealth and power…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 29The Chronicler likely used collections of prophetic writings or historical records as sources. The works of individual prophets might have been included in larger collections. These sources are now lost. Nathan and Ahijah were active during the reigns of David and Solomon. Iddo is not well-known.Read the comment
