Day 159 - Read 1 Kings 3-4

Solomon asked God for understanding and discernment. God gave him wisdom and discernment, but also riches and honor. God told Solomon He would extend his years if he walked in His ways and kept His statues and commandments. Solomon went before the ark of the covenant and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings to God. His wisdom and discernment were displayed as he settled a dispute between two women over a child. Solomon had many officials who governed and led the people of Israel. Solomon’s wealth and power were great, and God blessed him with wisdom beyond measure. People came from all nations to hear the wisdom of Solomon.
