· Translation: KJV

2 Chronicles 9:29Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, aren't they written in the history 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?

The setting

Jerusalem, ~930 BC. The chronicler concludes his account of Solomon's 40-year reign, referencing lost historical documents in modern-day Israel.

The emotion here: reverent responsibility as keeper of sacred history

The original word

dibrê (דִּבְרֵי) — accounts, chronicles, detailed records of events

Why it matters
