"Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. Then he rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of David his father." 2 Chronicles 9:30-31
That's it. All scripture has to say about the death of Solomon, the wisest guy who ever walked on the earth, the writer/contributor to four books of the Bible, the son of David, the King of Israel, the builder of the temple. And that's it. No summary of how wonderful his rule was or the great things he did. No walking with God in the mountains. No fiery chariots. No record of national mourning. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Nil. He seemed to live out his wisdom - everything is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. I'd add only this to that thought: When you worship Moloch and Ashtoreth. Lord knows.
