Solomon and All of His Glory
“So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.” (1Kings10:23)
While Solomon was not the greatest king ever (David has that honor), he was the richest king Israel ever had. Much of that was because of the spoils of war brought in by King David before Solomon ever ascended to the throne. Much of that ornate expensive temple that Solomon built was paid for and the material supplied by David. In a sense Solomon had everything handed to him; he was born with the golden spoon in his mouth.
But Solomon was a successful king and leader of God’s people. His reign was marked by complete and total success in wisdom, justice, riches, peace, and glory. Jesus referred to him this way: “Solomon in all his glory.” (Matthew 6:29) He was the richest and wisest of all the kings of his day. Nobody else even came close. People traveled from all over the world to behold the glory of his wealth, works and wisdom.
Proverbs 13:20 says, “He who walks with wise men shall be wise,” and we learn much wisdom from this wisest of men; and nothing is more important than wisdom. We learn from Adam, Noah, Moses, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Samuel, and David. Now we are about to learn from Mister Wisdom himself. Let us learn his lessons and be better Christians for it.
Our riches and wisdom, like Solomon’s, come from Christ, the Son of David. We inherit our wealth in spiritual riches from the Son of David by what He did for us in the gospel and by what He gave to us. Solomon’s wisdom came from God, through the hearing heart given to him in answer to prayer. So does ours. Christ is our wisdom and our glory is the cross of Christ by which He purchased all our inheritance... to read more click the following link...
