Context — Solomon’s Wealth and Splendor
22For the king had the ships of Tarshish at sea with Hiram’s fleet, and once every three years the ships of Tarshish would arrive bearing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
23So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
24The whole world sought an audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had put in his heart.
25Year after year, each visitor would bring his tribute: articles of silver and gold, clothing, weapons, spices, horses, and mules. 26Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.Cross References

Gill's Exposition on 1 Kings 10:24
And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Kings 10:24
And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. All the earth sought to Solomon ... - i:e., in a loose sense, the sovereigns of the neighbouring kingdoms, or the countries of Western Asia.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Kings 10:24
All the earth, i.e. all the kings of the earth, to wit, of those parts of the earth; which synecdoche is very frequent.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Kings 10:24
1 Kings 10:24 And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.Ver. 24. And all the earth sought to Solomon.] Who was herein a notable type of Christ, so generally frequented, and yet still so cheerfully resorted to in his ordinances by his people, flying thereto as so many "clouds, and as doves to their windows."
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Kings 10:24
(23-25) All the kings.—These verses indicate the character of the empire of Solomon, as a loosely-compacted group of tributary states round the dominant kingdom of Israel, kept to their allegiance mainly by the ascendency of his personal wisdom and ability, partly by the ties of commercial intercourse and the attractions of his wealth and splendour, and to some degree (though in his case to a less extent than usual) by an imposing military force. It rose rapidly in the comparative abeyance of the great neighbouring empires of Egypt and Assyria, and fell as rapidly on the death of Solomon and the disruption of the kingdom. In the grand description of it in Psalms 72, we observe that while its wealth and prosperity are painted in bright colours, the chief stress is laid on its moral greatness, as a kingdom of righteousness and peace: “All kings shall fall down before him; all nations shall serve him. For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth . . . He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.” Here, with the same general idea, but with a characteristic difference of expression, the chief emphasis is laid on the wisdom of Solomon, acknowledged as the gift of God (see Note on 1 Kings 4:29), and being a moral and religious at least as much as an intellectual power. In this higher character it was the type of the kingdom of the true Son of David. In this, rather than in wealth and power, lay its true glory; and the falling away from this in the later days of Solomon brought at once decay and ruin.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Kings 10:24
24. And all the earth sought to Solomon] In 2 Chronicles 9:23 the words are ‘and all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon,’ and, as the Hebrew of the last words is the same as here, the fuller form will be better in this verse as it comes more close to the original. The LXX., the Syriac and Arabic, have ‘all the kings of the earth.’
Whedon's Commentary on 1 Kings 10:24
24. All the earth — Inquirers after wisdom, like Sheba’s queen, came from far and near, wherever the fame of Solomon had spread.
