Verse 42 is found in chapter 11 of 1 Kings. The account ends Solomon’s reign by recording his deeds, forty years of rule, and death. The king who began by asking for wisdom leaves a materially powerful but spiritually compromised kingdom. His death prepares a new political generation and raises the question of whether Rehoboam will continue faithfulness or deepen his father’s errors.
