“But if you or your descendants abandon me and disobey the commands and decrees I have given you, and if you serve and worship other gods, then I will uproot Israel from this land that I have given them. I will reject this Temple that I have made holy to honor my name. I will make Israel an object of mockery and ridicule among the nations. And though this Temple is impressive now, all who pass by will be appalled and will gasp in horror. They will ask, ‘Why did the LORD do such terrible things to this land and to this Temple?’ “And the answer will be, ‘Because his people abandoned the LORD their God, who brought their ancestors out of Egypt, and they worshiped other gods instead and bowed down to them. That is why the LORD has brought all these disasters on them.’”

“Ask for whatever you want me to give you.” When God offered Solomon anything he could desire, he asked not for riches or power but wisdom. We may not all be kings, but we all have our own kingdom to rule, and Solomon’s reign provides powerful lessons on how to (and how not to) rule rightly. Join Through the Word for clear explanation and application through 1st Kings 1-11.
