Text: 2 Chronicles 9:29-31
OT Text Referred to: 1 Kings 11:41-43
Subject: Death of Solomon
Source: Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
Reference Type: Allusion
Connection Method(s): None
Significance: Both texts record Solomon's death and burial with the standard regnal closure formula: reign length, source references, and succession by Rehoboam. The Chronicler cites three prophetic sources—"the records of Nathan the prophet, the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and the visions of Iddo the seer" (2 Chr 9:29)—while 1 Kings 11:41 references "the Book of the Acts of Solomon." The most significant difference is what immediately precedes: 1 Kings 11 devotes forty verses to Solomon's apostasy, foreign wives, and divine judgment, all of which the Chronicler omits entirely. Solomon's story in Chronicles ends at the apex of glory, preserving the temple-builder's legacy without the tragic fall.

Text: 1 Kings 11:41-43
OT Text Referred to: 2 Chronicles 9:29-31
Subject: Solomon's death and burial — parallel regnal summary
Source: Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
Reference Type: Direct Quotation
Connection Method(s): None
Significance: Both passages provide the closing regnal formula for Solomon: source citation, years of reign (forty years), death, burial in the City of David, and succession by Rehoboam. The key difference lies in the source citations — Kings names "the book of the acts of Solomon," while Chronicles cites three prophetic sources (Nathan, Ahijah, Iddo). Both use the standard formula "he rested with his fathers" (וַיִּשְׁכַּב עִם־אֲבֹתָיו, vayyishkav 'im 'avotav), confirming this as a direct literary parallel following the established pattern for closing a king's account in Israel's historiography.

Text: 1 Kings 11:41
OT Text Referred to: 2 Chronicles 9:29
Subject: Closing source citations for Solomon's reign
Source: Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
Reference Type: Direct Quotation
Connection Method(s): None
Significance: Both passages conclude Solomon's reign with source citations, but they differ notably. In 1 Kings 11:41, the reader is referred to "the book of the acts of Solomon" (סֵפֶר דִּבְרֵי שְׁלֹמֹה, sefer divrey Shelomoh), a single source. The Chronicler in 2 Chronicles 9:29 instead cites three prophetic sources: "the records of Nathan the prophet, the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and the visions of Iddo the seer." This shift from a royal annals source to prophetic sources reflects the Chronicler's emphasis on prophetic authority as the lens through which kingship is evaluated, interpreting Solomon's reign through the words of the prophets who shaped it.
