Solomon
Six studies across 1 Kings 1–11: the contested succession, the dream at Gibeon and the request for a discerning heart, the Temple and its outward-facing dedication prayer, the wisdom the Queen of Sheba came to test, and the slow accumulation of foreign alliances that turned his heart — with the Davidic covenant holding even in the judgment.
- 01A Contested BeginningThe woman at the center of David's worst chapter secures the throne for the son of the promise
- 02The Dream at GibeonThe gift you don't grasp for comes bundled with the gifts you didn't ask for
- 03The TempleThe glory-cloud that once moved on poles through the desert, now permanently housed
- 04Wisdom, Wealth, and the Queen of ShebaThe half was not told me — wisdom applied at the scale of a whole kingdom run well
- 05The TurnNot sudden apostasy — accumulation, alliance by alliance, until his heart was turned
- 06Where the New Testament Goes With HimA greater than Solomon is here
