The account shows the material expansion of the kingdom but also prepares a tension present throughout biblical history: wealth and military strength can become resources that must remain subordinate to trust in God.

E fez o rei que houvesse ouro e prata em Jerusalém como pedras; e cedros em tanta abundância como sicômoros que há pelas campinas.
