SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:23
Y excedía el rey Salomón a todos los reyes de la tierra así en riquezas como en sabiduría.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 10:23
Verse 23. Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches] Mr. Reynolds, stating the yearly tribute of Solomon, 666 talents of gold, at about four times as much as his father left him, hence reckons that he had ú4, 909, 371 8s. 8d. each year, ú94, 410 19s. 9 1/4d. per week, ú13, 487 5s. 8d. per day, taking each day, week, and year, one with another.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 23. So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom .] In which he was an eminent type of Christ; (see Ephesians 3:8 Colossians 2:3).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 14-29 - Solomon increased his wealth. Silver was nothing accounted of. Such is the nature of worldly wealth, plenty of it makes it the less valuable much more should the enjoyment of spiritual riches lessen our esteem of all earthly possessions. If gold in abundance makes silver to be despised, shall not wisdom, and grace, and the foretastes of heaven which are far better than gold, make gold to be lightly esteemed? Se in Solomon's greatness the performance of God's promise, and let it encourage us to seek first the righteousness of God's kingdom. This wa he, who, having tasted all earthly enjoyments, wrote a book, to sho the vanity of all worldly things, the vexation of spirit that attend them, and the folly of setting our hearts upon them: and to recommen serious godliness, as that which will do unspeakably more to make u happy, that all the wealth and power he was master of; and, through the grace of God, it is within our reach __________________________________________________________________
