Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

2 Chronicles 9
²⁵ Now Solomon had 4,000 stalls for horses and chariots and 12,000 horsemen, and he stationed them in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.
²⁶ He was the ruler over all the kings from the Euphrates River even to the land of the Philistines, and as far as the border of Egypt.
²⁷ The king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem, and he made cedars as plentiful as sycamore trees that are in the lowland.
²⁸ And they were bringing horses for Solomon from Egypt and from all countries.
²⁹ Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, from first to last, are they not written in the records of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
³⁰ Solomon reigned forty years in Jerusalem over all Israel.
³¹ And Solomon slept with his fathers and was buried in the city of his father David; and his son Rehoboam reigned in his place.
2 Chronicles 10
¹ Then Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
² When Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was in Egypt where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon), Jeroboam returned from Egypt.
³ So they sent and summoned him. When Jeroboam and all Israel came, they spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
⁴ "Your father made our yoke hard; now therefore lighten the hard service of your father and his heavy yoke which he put on us, and we will serve you."
