2 Chronicles 9:26

And he reigned over all the kings from the river even unto the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.

(See the notes at 1 Kings 4:21.) This scriptural account of the power of the Hebrew king resembles, almost word for word, some of the paragraphs in the great ascriptions of Assyria ('Nineveh and Babylon,' p.

635).
