SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:30
Y reinó Salomón en Jerusalén sobre todo Israel cuarenta años.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-31 - The imports here mentioned, would show that prosperity drew the mind of Solomon and his subjects to the love of things curious and uncommon though useless in themselves. True wisdom and happiness are alway united together; but no such alliance exists between wealth and the enjoyment of the things of this life. Let us then acquaint ourselve with the Saviour, that we may find rest for our souls. Here is Solomo reigning in wealth and power, in ease and fulness, the like of whic could never since be found; for the most known of the great princes of the earth were famed for their wars; whereas Solomon reigned fort years in profound peace. The promise was fulfilled, that God would giv him riches and honour, such as no kings have had or shall have. The lustre wherein he appeared, was typical of the spiritual glory of the kingdom of the Messiah, and but a faint representation of His throne which is above every throne. Here is Solomon dying, and leaving all his wealth and power to one who he knew would be a fool! Ec 2:18, 19. Thi was not only vanity, but vexation of spirit. Neither power, wealth, no wisdom, can ward off or prepare for the stroke of death. But thanks be to God who giveth the victory to the true believer, even over thi dreaded enemy, through Jesus Christ our Lord __________________________________________________________________
