The mines are enormous and would have generated a huge income for the king, who is famed for bringing extraordinary wealth and stability to the newly-united kingdom
of Israel and Judah.

I am not sure what they mean by this.

According to Jewish history, Solomon was an extremely wealthy king and his wealth helped to restore the same to Israel,,looking at it from a profane point of view.
