September 27 Newsletter
The author is not named; however, it is traditionally thought to be written by he Prophet Jeremiah.
Key Verse: 1 Kings 10:9
Praise be to the Lord your God, who has delighted in you and placed you on the throne o Israel. Because of the Lord’s eternal love for Israel, he has made you king to maintain justice and righteousness.
***
When the Queen of Sheeba heard of Solomon’s wisdom, she came to see for herself. He counseled her well and she was impressed by his words and his riches. She honored him with gold, precious stones, and spices as well as great cargoes of almugwood, more almugwood than had ever been seen in that area.
The splendor of Solomon’s reign was renowned and hard to imagine even today – so much gold, fine wood and ivory! His fleet of ships went out and returned every three years carrying more gold, silver and ivory along with apes and baboons. The whole world sought audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom God had given him and everyone brought more gifts to add to his riches.
But, (And isn’t there always a “but”?) in one way Solomon was not wise and gave in to his own desires over God’s commands. He loved and married many women of foreign birth. He had 700 wives of royal birth and 300 concubines. And, just as God had predicted, they led him astray. In his old age they turned his heart toward other gods and he did not follow the Lord completely as David his father had done. Because of this the Lord told Solomon he would take most of his kingdom from him once his son took the throne.
God then raised up adversaries against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite who had fled Solomon’s army as a boy and grown and prospered in Egypt, and also the leader of a band of rebels, Rezon son of Eliada. Another, Jeroboam son of Nebat, rebelled against the king for God had promised to put all but one of the tribes of Israel into his hands because Solomon had strayed to other gods. So, Jeroboam fled to Egypt until Solomon’s death and Rehoboam his son’s succession to the throne.
Next week: Israel rebels against Rehoboam.
