Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

In 2-Chronicles 9:22-28, all that remained to be said of Solomon's royal glory, his riches, his wisdom, and his revenues, is in conclusion briefly summed up, as in 1-Kings 10:23-29. From 2-Chronicles 9:25 onwards, the account given in the Chronicle diverges from that in 1-Kings 10:26., in so far that what is narrated in 1-Kings 10:26-28 concerning Solomon's chariots and horses, and his trade with Egypt in horses, is here partly replaced by statements similar in import to those in 1 Kings 5, because the former matters had been already treated of in Chr. 2-Chronicles 1:14-17.
