2CH_9:23 And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart.

2CH_10:2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who [was] in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard [it], that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
