Solomon was able to accomplish more than Saul and David largely due to his unparalleled wisdom, which he famously requested from God. This wisdom enabled him to make effective decisions, foster diplomatic relationships, and promote trade, leading to a prosperous and stable kingdom. Additionally, Solomon's focus on monumental building projects, including the Temple in Jerusalem, helped solidify his legacy and enhance the nation's identity. His reign also benefited from the peace established by David, allowing for more extensive development without the distractions of constant warfare.

Who was wise King Solomon's father?
-----------------------There are two biblical narratives that tell of Solomon's succession to David. The first narrative, in 1 Kings, is somewhat muddled and ends with David, on his deathbed choosing Solomon to be his successor. The second narrative is in 1 Chronicles, which was a later rewrite of the Book of Kings and other books in the Deuteronomic history. Possibly recognising the problems inherent in the account in 1 Kings, the Chronicler simply has David, while still healthy and active, announce that God has chosen Solomon as his heir.Since Solomon had older brothers, it was not anticipated in the 1 Kings story that Solomon would ever be king, until David was near death, so there was no reason for David to prepare him to be king. The story in 1 Chronicles is more flexible, since David had some time, perhaps years, to prepare Solomon to be king, before his own death.
What did David predict will occur?

What was the one thing that David wanted to do that God wouldn't allow?
To build the First Temple. Instead, God said that David's son, Solomon, would build it. King David fought the wars of the Lord, defeating the enemies of the Israelites round about. Though this is praiseworthy, it was not the same as the function of the Temple, which was to be a place of peace.
Who was closer to God King David or King Solomon?
Both King David and King Solomon had unique relationships with God, but they expressed them differently. David is often seen as a man after God's own heart, known for his deep faith, repentance, and heartfelt psalms. Solomon, on the other hand, was granted wisdom and wealth but struggled with idolatry later in life, which led to a more complex relationship with God. Ultimately, David's passionate devotion might suggest he was closer to God in terms of personal faith, while Solomon's wisdom reflected a different, yet significant, aspect of divine connection.
