King Solomon didn't really transform Israel he inherited an immense, powerful and prosperous empire from his father, David. Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt. These countries brought tribute and were Solomon's subjects all his life. Shortly after Solomon was anointed king, God appeared to him in a dream and invited Solomon to make a request for himself. Solomon asked for "an understanding heart to judge your people..." This request pleased God and God promised Solomon …..riches and honour like no other king in your days. (1 Kings 3:7-13) God intended that the wisdom of His way of life and His laws be made available to other nations. But neither Solomon nor the people he led kept their eyes on that objective. The physical benefits of prosperity, wealth and fame became their chief focus. They lost sight of the reason for their existence as a nation. Under Solomon Israel continued to be a rich and powerful nation. The crowning achievement of Solomon's reign is the building of the Temple which his father, King David, had dreamed about. This is the pinnacle of Jewish history. Everyone is united.
