Welcome back to Reading with Ben! Let's continue the lecture on the book of 1 Kings.
This is episode #05 chapters 09 & 10.
1 Kings Chapter 09, After Solomon built the temple and his royal palace, God appeared to him just like he did at Gibeon. The Lord told Solomon that he had consecrated the temple and that He would give him a royal throne if he followed all of the laws and decrees just like his father, David, had done.
1 Kings Chapter 10, the Queen of Sheba, who has heard about Solomon, his wisdom, and his relationship with God, comes to visit him and ask questions. She arrives in Jerusalem with a huge group of advisors and goods, which included precious metals, gems, and spices. When she finally speaks to Solomon, she asks him hard questions and he answers all of them without difficulty.
