Solomon's Reign Ends
These verses briefly close Solomon's reign and name the king who followed him.
The Bible says there was much more to tell about Solomon, including what he did and the wisdom he showed. It points readers to other written records for the rest of his story.
Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel for forty years. This closing note pauses to remember the full length of his rule.
Then Solomon died and was buried in the city of David, his father. After him, his son Rehoboam reigned in his place.
