Matthew Flynn

The Temple as God’s HouseSolomon is new ready to build the Temple in

Jerusalem.He gets Phoenician King to send materials and

architects.Canaanite model used to build the temple.Uses 30,000 workers of his own in addition to

foreign labor.Solomon also builds a palace for himself.God agrees to be present in the temple if

Solomon observes the Law and carries it out.When the temple is done, God holds his

promise, and warns Solomon and his descendants that if they forsake the covenant, the temple will be destroyed.

What kind of wisdom?Scriptural writers probably exaggerated

the number of proverbs and songs written by Solomon.

Entire books of the Bible also attributed to Solomon, but this does not mean he actually wrote them.

Solomon’s reign was a glorious time for Israel in terms of splendor and power and reputation among another nations.

Reign was a disaster for Israel, a time marked by extravagance in the royal house, harsh oppression of the people, and idolatry by the king himself.
