II Chronicles 1 – God’s Viewpoint of Solomon

 

Solomon was God’s choice. He is going to bless Solomon. “Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, And the Lord his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.”

Solomon took the leaders and went to Gibeon where the tabernacle and the brazen altar was.

 

The way to God is through the brazen altar. They couldn’t go to Him through the Ark. We don’t come immediately to God. The way of the cross leads home. There is no other way.

 

David had told Solomon, “The Lord give you wisdom and understanding.” So, when the Lord asked, “What do you want, Solomon?” he said, “I need wisdom and understanding.” God gave him credit for it. He grants his request and gives him other blessings beside. Solomon did not ask for spiritual discernment. Although he was given divine wisdom to rule, he did not seem to have wisdom to order his personal life.

 

God had told him “not to multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt. Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away; neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.” Solomon did multiply horses and he became personally wealthy.
