2-а хроніки 9:25

Ch2 9:25 does not correspond to the passage Kg1 10:26, but in contents and language agrees with Kg1 5:6, and Ch2 9:26 with Kg1 5:1. Only the general estimate of Solomon's riches in gold and silver, in Ch2 9:27, repeated from Ch2 1:15, corresponds to Kg1 10:27. Finally, in Ch2 9:28 the whole description is rounded off; all that has already been said in Ch2 1:16, Ch2 1:17 as to the trade in horses with Egypt (Kg1 10:28-29) being drawn together into one general statement.

Solomon here continues to appear great both at home and abroad. We had this account of his grandeur, 1 Kings 10. Nothing is here added; but his defection towards his latter end, which we have there (ch. 11), is here omitted, and the close of this chapter brings him to the grave with an unstained reputation. Perhaps none of the chapters in the Chronicles agree so much with a chapter in the Kings as this does with 1 Kings 10 verse for verse, only that the first two verses there are put into one here, and Ch2 9:25 here is taken from Kg1 4:26, and the last three verses here from Kg1 11:41-43. Here is, I. The honour which the queen of Sheba did to Solomon, in the visit she made him to hear his wisdom (Ch2 9:1-12). II. Many instances given of the riches and splendour of Solomon's court (v. 13-28). III. The conclusion of his reign (Ch2 9:29-31).
