Psa 72:8. During Solomon's reign, how was Jehovah's promise to Abraham fulfilled in Genesis 15:18? (it-1 883).

During the period of Solomon's reign, the promise made by Jehovah to Abraham in Genesis 15:18 was partially fulfilled as the territory of Israel expanded northward, reaching the Euphrates River. Although the territory assigned to Israel did not fully encompass the promised extension from the Euphrates River under the reign of Solomon, the kingdom of Israel approached this border by incorporating the Aramaic kingdom of Sobah, which bordered the Euphrates. This territorial development reflected the gradual fulfillment of the promise made to Abraham.
