The verse belongs to the account of Solomon's reign over the undivided kingdom, before the kingdom was divided. It stands within the closing history of David's reign and the establishment of Solomon's reign. That account of Solomon's reign is presented in chronological order. Within it the verse records gold and silver brought to Solomon by merchants, kings, and governors. It shows his enterprise in commerce as part of the story of his wonderful wisdom and riches.
