Context of 2 Chronicles 9:28
26And he ruled over all the kings from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, and as far as the border of Egypt. 27The king made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars as plentiful as the sycamore trees that are in the foothills. Horses were brought for Solomon from Egypt and from all countries. 29Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, the beginning and the end, are they not written in the chronicles of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Jedo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat? 30Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel 40 years.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 28And out of all lands - An addition to the words in Kings.

True wisdom and happiness are always united together; but no such alliance exists between wealth and the enjoyment of the things of this life.
