1 Kings 7 makes an unexpected departure from discussing the temple being built to Solomon spending more time on his own house. It then goes back to describing the temple…
The construction descriptions of the house of the Lord are not just giving us details about how it was built and with what materials. More than that, they give us pictures of what God is like, and how we should respond to Him.
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.
