Gill's Notes on the Bible

So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom. In which he was an eminent type of Christ; see Ephesians 3:8.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the marginal references. By “all the earth” we are, of course, only to understand the kings or people of neighboring nations.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 23. 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.
