Solomon was a wise man. His wisdom came from God: “He possessed wisdom
from God”, “God gave Solomon wisdom” (1 Kings 3:28; 1 Kings 4:29). The
work done by the king required wisdom. The gift of wisdom is to be
received with praise to God: “May the Lord be praised today: He has
given David a wise son to rule this great nation” (1 Kings 5:7). God
gave wisdom for spiritual leadership - building the Lord’s Temple (1
Kings 6:1,37-38). God gives wisdom to us as we gather together in His
House to hear His Word (1 Kings 6:19). We are not only to hear His
Word. We are to do His work (1 Kings 7:51). For His work, God gives us
His wisdom - holy wisdom.
