22<\/strong>. And king Solomon passed<\/em> ] R.V. So king Solomon exceeded<\/strong> (so 1Ki 10:13<\/span>).<\/p>\n [See comments on 1Ki 10:23]<\/span>.<\/p>\n In 2Ch 9:22-28<\/span>, 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 1Ki 10:23-29<\/span>. From 2Ch 9:25<\/span> onwards, the account given in the Chronicle diverges from that in 1Ki 10:26<\/span>., in so far that what is narrated in 1Ki 10:26-28<\/span> 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. 2Ch 1:14-17<\/span>. <\/p>\n (22) And king Solomon.<\/strong>See 1Ki. 10:23<\/span>.<\/p>\n Passed all.<\/strong>Was great above all. 2Ch 9:22-28<\/p>\n 2Ch 9:22-28<\/p>\n “So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom. And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. And they brought every man his tribute, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, armor, and spices, horses and mules, a rate year by year. And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. And he ruled over all the kings from the River even unto the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt. And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore-trees that are in the lowland, for abundance. And they brought horses for Solomon out of Egypt, and out of all lands.”<\/p>\n These verses concern Solomon’s riches and his alleged wisdom.<\/p>\n “Solomon exceeded all the kings … in riches and wisdom” (2 Chronicles 8:22). Solomon’s wisdom was unrelated to what we know as true wisdom, that kind of wisdom is defined in God’s Word: “The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do his commandments” (Psa 111:10). The meaning of the word wisdom, as it was used by the Chronicler, was evidently something else. As the term was used by his self-seeking flatterers, it meant little or nothing; and it could be that the Chronicler here was using it in exactly the same way. One thing is certain; namely, that Solomon neither feared God nor honored his commandments.<\/p>\n The passage that we have so often cited in Deu 17:16-17 specifically forbade Israel’s kings to multiply unto themselves (1) wives, (2) silver and gold and (3) horses. Solomon wantonly violated all these commandments in the most extravagant manner.<\/p>\n “A rate year by year” (2Ch 9:24). These words identify all those `gifts’ that came to Solomon by those rulers throughout the world of that era, as `taxes,’ or `tribute,’ imposed, not occasionally, but continually year by year. This also explains why they, “sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom.” Their fulsome compliments paid to Solomon were nothing but the flattery of vassal underlings seeking to make a good impression on the conceited Solomon, whom they unwillingly served as his vassals.<\/p>\n E.M. Zerr:<\/p>\n 2Ch 9:22. The reader is given such declarations as this verse to impress him with the fulfillment of God’s promises. (1Ki 3:13.) <\/p>\n 2Ch 9:23. The inspired writer is the one who says that God put the wisdom in the heart of Solomon. This should be considered by those who deny that Solomon was inspired. It is true that all good things come from God, and the wisdom a man has naturally could be said to have been put in his heart by the Lord. But Solomon already had that when God made the promise of 1Ki 3:12, which shows that the wisdom he had was a direct gift from God, which is the same as inspiration. <\/p>\n 2Ch 9:24. These “presents” were official tokens of recognition of and subjection to Solomon, according to the practices of the times. See the comments at Gen 32:13. <\/p>\n 2Ch 9:25. This account does not agree, in figures, with 1Ki 4:26. I have gone into detail at that place, and the reader is requested to consult it. <\/p>\n 2Ch 9:26. The river refers to the Euphrates River. This is not learned from the lexicon, because the original could mean any body of water that had some prominence. But other passages that deal with the same subject name the river. (Gen 15:18; Deu 11:24.) Land of the Philistines refers to the western boundary since that narrow tract lay along the Mediterranean Sea. The border of Egypt has the same significance as river of Egypt which was part of the southern boundary of the promised land. This whole territory had been promised to Abraham and his seed. (Gen 15:18.) Solomon was the first man fully to realize the enjoyment of that much territory, due to the disobedience of the national leaders. <\/p>\n 2Ch 9:27. Stones and sycamore trees were very common. Solomon’s resources were so great that gold was as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones had been, and the elegant cedars were as numerous in Jerusalem as the sycamore trees were in the lowlands. <\/p>\n 2Ch 9:28. This was a violation of Deu 17:16-17. God was lenient toward Solomon for the sake of David, and did not punish him directly for this error. <\/p>\n passed all the kings: 2Ch 1:12, 1Ki 3:12, 1Ki 3:13, 1Ki 4:30, 1Ki 4:31, 1Ki 10:23, 1Ki 10:24, Psa 89:27, Mat 12:42, Col 2:2, Col 2:3 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Neh 13:26 – yet among Ecc 1:16 – Lo Ecc 2:9 – General Act 7:22 – was learned<\/p>\n And king Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom. 22.
