Moreover the king H4428 made H6213 a great H1419 throne H3678 of ivory, H8127 and overlaid H6823 it with the best H6338 gold. H2091 The throne H3678 had six H8337 steps, H4609 and the top H7218 of the throne H3678 was round H5696 behind: H310 and there were stays H3027 on either side on the place H4725 of the seat, H7675 and two H8147 lions H738 stood H5975 beside H681 the stays. H3027 And twelve H8147 H6240 lions H738 stood H5975 there on the one side and on the other upon the six H8337 steps: H4609 there was not the like H3651 made H6213 in any kingdom. H4467
All thy garments H899 smell of myrrh, H4753 and aloes, H174 and cassia, H7102 out of the ivory H8127 palaces, H1964 whereby H4482 they have made thee glad. H8055

Commentary on 2 Chronicles 9 John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
INTRODUCTION TO 2 CHRONICLES 9
The ninth chapter is the same with 1 Kings 10:1 excepting 2 Chronicles 9:26, which agrees with 1 Kings 4:21, the same with 1 Kings 11:41, only in 2 Chronicles 9:29 it is more largely expressed that the acts of Solomon's reign were written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer, against Jeroboam the son of Nebat; or rather "concerning Jeroboam", as the Septuagint and some other versionsF2 , in which Iddo is called Joel; and by Theodoret said to be the same that prophesied of Jeroboam and his altar, See Gill on 1 Kings 13:1; the books mentioned are since lost.F2 צל περι Sept. de, Junius & Tremellias, Piscator.
