King Solomon was the richest of all the kings on earth.
II Chronicles
II Chronicles includes King Soloman.
The Second Book of Chronicles is the fourteenth book in the Bible. It covers the period from King Solomon's rule until the Israelites release from bondage in Babylon; a period of around 430 years. Unlike the Books of Kings, II Chronicles details only the history of Judah. It is an account of King David's family line through the kings of the southern kingdom and so the northern kingdom of Israel is rarely mentioned.
All quotations from the Bible are taken from the Authorised King James Version.
