First Kings 3 Commentary
www.lovingscripture.com
The LORD speaks to Solomon in a dream: “What can I give you? Ask.” Solomon then asks for wisdom and discernment. The LORD is impressed with Solomon and gives him more than he had asked for.
We are off to a good start! Solomon’s love for the LORD is amazing. The LORD responds in generosity by giving Solomon a blank check.
This is what we have noticed on this journey: each time the LORD is happy, fruitfulness returns in increased measure. The opposite is also true. The LORD’S anger leaves behind a trail of destruction. Solomon’s obedient walk before the LORD has brought prosperity. This is a high point.
The Bible goes ahead and gives us evidence of Solomon’s God-given wisdom. So far so good. We all want to pray for such moments when the wisdom from above can translate into physically functional decision-making.
