Solomon's Temple
Sololmon's Temple - account by Lambert Dolphin




In 1Kings 9.1-19; 2Chronicles 7.11-22, the Lord appeared to Solomon a second time. This was a confirmation of the Davidic Covenant that God made with David that IF David and his descendants are obedient and trust God there would always be a descendant of David on the throne of David. God had warned if the Solomon or his descendants were disobedient, Israel would become a byword, an object of ridicule among all peoples, and the peoples (Gentiles) would mock and scoff at the Israelites and the Temple.
In 1Kings 9.10-28; 2Chronicles 8.1-18, Solomon had used forced labors to build the Lord's temple, his palace, the supporting terraces, the walls of Jerusalem and Hazor, Megiddo and Gezer. Solomon had other building projects including building a palace for one of his wives, Pharaoh's daughter. He had also built ships with Hiram.
