C. F. Keil and Franz Delitzsch on 1 Kings 10:23-25

1Ki 10:23-25 1Ki 10:23, 1Ki 10:24 point back to 1Ki 5:9-14. ויּגדּל: Solomon became greater, not was greater, on account of the Vâv consec. כּל־הארץ, all the world, corresponds to כּל־העמּים in 1Ki 5:14. The foreigners out of all lands, who came on account of his wisdom, brought Solomon presents: gold and silver vessels, clothes (שׂלמות, court dresses, which are still customary presents in the East), נשׁק, armour, spices, horses and mules.
