Solomon & The Temple

And Solomon was magnified above all the kings of the earth for riches and glory.

And all the kings of the earth desired to see the face of Solomon, that they might hear the wisdom which God had given in his heart.

And every year they brought him presents, vessels of silver and of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, and horses, and mules.

And Solomon had forty thousand horses in the stables, and twelve thousand chariots, and horsemen, and he placed them in the cities of the chariots and where the king was in Jerusalem.

And he exercised authority over all the kings from the river Euphrates to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt.

And he made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones: and cedars as common as the sycamores, which grow in the plains.

And horses were brought to him out of Egypt, and out of all countries.

Now the rest of the acts of Solomon first and last are written in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the books of Ahias the Silonite, and in the vision of Addo the seer, against Jeroboam the son of Nabat.

And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.

And he slept with his fathers: and they buried him in the city of David: and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
