What does Solomon, the Wisest of All, ask for?

Posted by Timothy

1Kings 3:9
“So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong.”

And God was pleased, and granted this. God, when speaking to King Solomon, then adds:

1Kings3:13-14

“Moreover, I will give you what you have not asked for — both riches and honor — so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings. And if you walk in my ways and obey my statues and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life.”

King Solomon asks for wisdom, and in exchange he becomes wealthy and powerful.

Here is where I put my musings, questions, ideas to capture what is going through my mind.

Specific Scripture that I want to write down but not necessarily have much commentary will be written down here.
