Verse 23. Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches] Mr. Reynolds, stating the yearly tribute of Solomon, 666 talents of gold, at about four times as much as his father left him, hence reckons that he had �4,909,371 8s. 8d. each year, �94,410 19s. 9 1/4d. per week, �13,487 5s. 8d. per day, taking each day, week, and year, one with another.

Verse 25. They brought every man his present] This means tribute; and it shows us of what sort that tribute was, viz., vessels of gold and silver, probably ingots; garments of very rich stuffs; armour, for little of this kind was ever made in Judea; spices, which doubtless sold well in that country; horses, which were very rare; and mules, the most necessary animal for all the purposes of life.
