As for the rest of the acts of Solomon, from beginning to end,
This phrase suggests a comprehensive account of Solomon's reign, indicating that the biblical narrative does not cover every detail of his life and rule. Solomon's reign is marked by wisdom, wealth, and extensive building projects, including the construction of the Temple in Jerusalem. His reign is also characterized by political alliances and trade, which brought prosperity to Israel. The phrase "from beginning to end" implies a complete record, emphasizing the importance of Solomon's entire life and reign in Israel's history.

are they not written in the Records of Nathan the Prophet,
Nathan the Prophet was a significant figure during the reigns of David and Solomon. He is known for confronting David about his sin with Bathsheba and for supporting Solomon's succession to the throne. The mention of "the Records of Nathan the Prophet" suggests that there were other historical documents or writings that chronicled the events of Solomon's reign, which were well-known to the original audience. This highlights the role of prophets not only as spiritual leaders but also as historians and record-keepers.

in the Prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite,
Ahijah the Shilonite was a prophet who played a crucial role in the division of the kingdom after Solomon's reign. He prophesied that Jeroboam would rule over ten of the twelve tribes of Israel, leading to the split between the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah. The mention of Ahijah's prophecy underscores the fulfillment of God's word and the divine orchestration of Israel's history. It also serves as a reminder of the consequences of Solomon's idolatry and disobedience.

and in the Visions of Iddo the Seer concerning Jeroboam son of Nebat?
Iddo the Seer is another prophetic figure whose visions are mentioned in connection with Jeroboam, the first king of the northern kingdom of Israel. The reference to Iddo's visions indicates that there were multiple prophetic voices that spoke into the political and spiritual dynamics of the time. Jeroboam's rise to power and subsequent actions are significant in the biblical narrative, as they set the stage for the ongoing conflict and idolatry that plagued the northern kingdom. The inclusion of these records and visions highlights the importance of prophecy in understanding and interpreting the events of Israel's history.

Teaching Points
The Importance of Prophetic Witness
The mention of multiple prophets and seers underscores the importance of prophetic witness in understanding and recording God's work in history. Believers are encouraged to value and seek guidance from God's Word, which serves as a prophetic witness in our lives.

The Role of Accountability
The prophets and seers served as a form of accountability for the kings of Israel. In our lives, we should seek accountability through spiritual mentors and the community of believers to stay aligned with God's will.

The Continuity of God's Plan
The references to different prophets and their writings highlight the continuity of God's plan throughout history. This reminds us that God is sovereign and His purposes prevail, even when human leadership changes.

Learning from History
The acts of Solomon and the prophecies concerning Jeroboam serve as lessons for us today. We should learn from the successes and failures of biblical figures to grow in wisdom and faithfulness.

The Significance of Record-Keeping
The detailed records of Solomon's reign and the prophecies concerning Jeroboam emphasize the importance of documenting God's work in our lives. Keeping a spiritual journal can help us remember and reflect on God's faithfulness.(c) REFERENCE TO DOCUMENTS.--CLOSE OF THE REIGN (2Chronicles 9:29-31). (Comp. 1Kings 11:41-43.)

(29) Now the rest of the acts of Solomon.--Or, story, history; literally, words. (Comp. 1Chronicles 29:29.)

First and last.--Or, the former and the latter. Instead of this, Kings has, "and all that he did, and his wisdom."

In the book.--Or, history. For the sources named here, see the Introduction. Kings has simply, "are they not written in the book of the history of Solomon? "His name conveyed the idea of peace to the Hebrew ear. But there is no doubt that it was originally identical with Shalman (Assyrian Salmanu), the name of a god. Tiglath-pileser II. mentions a Salamanu king of Moab. This name exactly corresponds to Solomon.

Ahijah the Shilonite.--See 1Kings 11:29-39; 1Kings 14:2-18. . . .

Verse 29. - Nathan the prophet... Ahijah the Shilonite... Iddo the seer. For these original authorities of the history, see our Introduction (vol. 1. p. 8:2, and p. 9:3). The present quotation of the name of Ahijah in connection with his work, and the brief allusion to himself in our 2 Chronicles 10:15, are the only appearances of Ahijah in Chronicles. He and the importance of his work are clear enough from 1 Kings 11:28-40; 1 Kings 14:1-20. As the compiler of Chronicles evidently by a law omits any even reference to the defection of Solomon, it is natural that the name and special ministry of Ahijah should fall into the shade with him. Uniformly it is observable in Chronicles that the personal is not enlarged upon where it is not directly and indispensably ancillary to the ecclesiastical and national history. On the other hand, the writer of Kings does not once mention Iddo the seer, whereas we read of him again twice in Chronicles (2 Chronicles 12:15; 2 Chronicles 13:22).
