1 Kings 11:41

And the rest of the acts The usual rendering of this phrase is Now the rest, &c. and this has been adopted for uniformity's sake by the R.V. in this place. The word rendered -acts," in this and similar passages, means also -words," and in the case of such a king as Solomon, whose fame arose greatly from what he spake, it has been thought worth while to put this rendering on the margin, both in A. V. and R.V.

the book of the acts of Solomon Attached to the royal household was an official recorder, who kept a chronicle of events and thus prepared the sources of future history. In 2 Chronicles 9:29-31 where the parallelism with Kings is taken up again, we have the names of the writers given, viz. -the history of Nathan the prophet, the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat."
