The fourth king was Solomon, who reigned from one end of the world to the other, as it is said, "And Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms" (1 Kings 4:21); and it says, "And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year" (1 Kings 10:25).
