The brief summary of Solomon’s reign and death is similar to that of his father David (1 Kings 2:10–12). These summaries follow a typical pattern for the accounts of later kings.
The Book of the Acts of Solomon was probably kept in a prophetic center or in palace and Temple archives. It provided information for the author of Kings but is now lost (compare 1 Kings 14:19, 29).
Solomon ruled from 971 to 931 BC.
