What are the consequences of the Fall of Man in Genesis 3 upon us in 21st Century America?
Solomon continues the relationship with Hiram of Tye that David his father began. Not only does he continue the relationship, but he uses it wisely to procure beautiful objects for the temple.
Solomon’s prayer for wisdom was clearly answered by his dealings with the case of the child of the two prostitutes. The author continues to expound on Solomon’s wisdom by showing its national and even international scope.
The one over-arching theme is God controls the kingdom, but several minor themes/applications arise. (1) The danger of indulging children, (2) the need for vigilance in fighting sin, (3) the warning of self-promoting people, (4) the need for wise, decisive action on our part as well as a trust in God’s sovereignty, and (5) consideration of what it is that stirs us (excites us).
