God promised Solomon all the things which he had not asked, except the life of his enemies; for he was to be a peaceable king, a type of the Prince of peace. this was.1Sa 16:7; 1Ki 3:11-13; 8:18; 1Ch 28:2; 29:17,18; Pr 23:7; Ac 5:4Heb 4:12that thou mayest.1Ki 3:28; Pr 14:8; Jas 3:13,17 I will give.Mt 6:33; Eph 3:20such as none.9:22; 1Ch 29:25; Ec 2:9; Jas 1:5 at Gibeon.3reigned.1Ki 4:24,25 Solomon.9:25; De 17:16; 1Ki 4:26; 10:16,26-29the chariot cities.Cities where the chariots, and horses belonging to them, were kept. the king.He destroyed its value by making it so exceedingly plentiful. 12; 9:27; 1Ki 10:27-29; Job 22:24,25; Isa 60:17made.

Our English translation, however, which regards it as synonymous with {tikwah,} seems by far the best. According to Norden, linen yarn is still one of the principal articles of commerce in Egypt, and is exported in very large quantities, together with unmanufactured flax and spun cotton; and Sanutus, 400 years ago, remarked that though Christian countries abounded in flax, yet the goodness of the Egyptian was such, that it was dispersed even to the west. the kings.2Ki 10:29means. Heb. hand.
