- 2 Chronicles 1:12 We can surmise that Solomon was already wise in declaring his preference for wisdom and knowledge, and being given enormous wealth besides, shows the unmerited abundance of blessings that flow from the Lord when we choose rightly. Although all of these may be limited in this life, the love of the Lord is without end.
- 2 Chronicles 1:13 Solomon is conspicuous for his large number of war chariots. Even today impressive remains of royal stables are to be seen in the area of Megiddo.
