KING SALOMON
King Salomon is widely recognized for his wisdom, especially demonstrated through the astonishing
constructions he made. One of them was the temple of God in Jerusalem, which estimated to have taken
seven years to build. Before King Salomon began the construction, his father, King David, had already
collected all the necessary materials for the temple. For many years this temple was one of the most
important buildings in Israel with good benefits to Israel, because, this temple was for God and in this temple
the people went to worship God. Royal palace that was another construction, approximately took thirteen
years to build. According to the Bible, King Salomon had just finished the temple when he decided to
build his Royal Palace and this is like a signal of the importance that Salomon gave to God. As soon as
Salomon had built his Royal Palace, he was anxious for build 3 new cities, for example: Meguidó,
Hazo and Gezer, and these 3 cities gave a good benefit, especially for defense of Israel. All of these
constructions were possible because God gave the wisdom and talent to Salomon for, he can build these
astonishing constructions that nowadays the people can see and remember how with the help of God one
king was one of the wisest people in the world.
