Key Verse<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blessed <\/strong>is<\/strong><\/em> the nation whose God <\/strong>is<\/strong><\/em> the LORD; <\/strong>and<\/strong><\/em> the people <\/strong>whom<\/strong><\/em> he hath chosen for his own inheritance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014Psalm 33:12
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Verse Thought: <\/strong>After reading the key verse, understand that God\nhas promised to bless the nation who acknowledges God as supreme, and where the\npeople establish a relationship with Him. How can one\nhave a relationship with God? (i.e.: \nfirst, ask Jesus in one\u2019s heart; spend\ntime with Him; pray; read the Bible; obey God\u2019s commands and encourage others\nto obey Him as well; etc.)  In this\nlesson, we will see how God blessed the nation, Israel,\nwho made God the Lord of their nation \u2013 and obeyed Him! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emphasis: <\/strong>Christians are to choose to obey God, doing what He wants\nover what self wants, understanding that God will bless those who put God\nfirst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesson Summary: <\/strong>In our last lesson, we learned that David prepared\ngreatly for the building of the Temple.\nHe declared that his son, Solomon, would succeed him as king, and Solomon would\nbuild the house of the Lord. In this lesson, we will learn about Solomon as he\nbecomes king of Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solomon returned to the\ntabernacle Moses had built in the wilderness and offered great sacrifices to\nGod. God came to Solomon that night, asking what he desired. Solomon took his\nfather\u2019s advice and asked for wisdom to rule God\u2019s people. God not only\npromised him wisdom, but riches and fame as well.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solomon immediately set\nabout to build the Temple for God.\nOnce it was completed (and the furnishings were made and placed inside), he had\nthe Ark of the Covenant brought into the Temple,\naddressed the people, and prayed to God. When Solomon finished praying, God\nanswered his prayer by sending fire from heaven that consumed Solomon\u2019s\nsacrifice. The glory of the Lord so filled the Temple\nthat no one could enter. God then gave many promises, and warnings, to Solomon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solomon\u2019s kingdom increased, and his fame extended. The Queen of Sheba heard of King Solomon and came to meet him herself. She recognized that God had given him this great wisdom.  Solomon\u2019s fame continued to spread, and many kings gave him great gifts \u2013 increasing his wealth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember:<\/strong> The books of the Chronicles do not dwell upon the wrongdoings of the kings, but what good they accomplished for Judah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
