King David died and Solomon reigned in his place. The nation was at peace with the surrounding nations so Solomon was free to start building GOD’S Temple. David had gathered materials for the Temple and Solomon made a league with other nations for the rest of all they would need. Qualified workmen and servants were assigned to shape the cedar, cut the stones, and fashion the gold and precious metals per the design GOD had given. GOD told Solomon to ask what he wanted GOD to give him since he was king of Israel. Solomon asked GOD for wisdom to govern the nation GOD had given him to rule over. GOD was pleased with what Solomon asked for and told Solomon that since he had asked for wisdom to govern His people instead of riches and honor, He would give Solomon what he asked plus all the things he did not ask for, riches, honor, and a lasting kingdom.
