Commentary
3 notes on this verseHis sin is not again recorded, because it was repented of, and pardoned, and became as if it had never been. Scripture-silence sometimes speaks. I am willing to believe that its silence here concerning the sin of Solomon is an intimation that none of the sins he committed were mentioned against him, Ezek. xxxiii.

reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel
on 2 Chronicles 9:30-31
After forty years Solomon “rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of his father David,” and Rehoboam reigns in his place. Kings gives Solomon's foreign wives, his heart turned after other gods, the LORD's anger and the tearing of the kingdom. Chronicles tells none of it.

7 Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom. 8 Blessed be the L ORD thy God, which delighted in thee to set thee on his throne, to be king for the L ORD thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore made he thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.
