David wanted to build a temple for the Lord, but God told him through Nathan the prophet that David could prepare for the temple, but his son Solomon would be the one who actually built it. David was too much a man of battle and violence to build the temple that stood for God’s love and peace.
King Solomon came to be king in a land that was peaceful and wealthy, for David had conquered most of the enemies of Israel and had collected much wealth in taxes and tribute. Solomon was very young when he became king, and when God asked him what he would request God to give him, he asked for wisdom to govern God’s chosen people well. God was pleased with this request and gave Solomon not only the wisdom he asked for, but also riches, long life, and fame.
Solomon was known throughout the Biblical world for his wisdom, and wrote many of the proverbs and other “wisdom writings” of the Bible.
Solomon will be the last of the Old Testament kings that we study in detail. Next month we will turn to the prophets…men who spoke God’s truth to the people as well as the kings. God used the prophets to try to turn the people and the nation back to him when they forgot about God’s commands.
Join us Sunday as we learn more about the Bible, the history of how God has worked in the world to bring about his kingdom. It’s a great week to bring a friend!
Tom and Sydney Cook
