41And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon? 42And the days that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel were forty years. 43And Solomon lay down with his fathers and was buried in the city of David his father; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
29The rest of the deeds of Solomon, the first and the last, are they not written in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Jedo the seer concerning Jeroboam son of Nebat? 30Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. 31Solomon lay down with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David his father; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
