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.
Barnes's 1-kings 10:23 Bible Commentary
See the marginal references. By "all the earth" we are, of course, only to understand the kings or people of neighboring nations.
