David ruled Israel for many years. His son Solomon, who was known to be a very wise man, became
king after David's death.
"God gave Solomon very great wisdom, discernment, and breadth of
understanding as vast as the sand on the seashore." While Solomon was king , he began to
build an enormous temple to God.
It was filled with beautiful carvings, and even the floors were overlaid
with gold. When it was finished,
he dedicated it to the Lord, and the Lord said to Solomon: "I have
consecrated this house that you have built," and God promised to dwell
there for as long as the Israelites kept the commandments.
