Introduction
It started with a man, then a family, then a clan, then an entire ethnic group. But the day the people of Israel walked out of Egypt and passed through a sea, they became a nation. They tried having God as their only king, but everyone did what was right in their own eyes and didn’t serve him. Then, in a bad case of royal envy, they cried out for a human king, and they got what they asked for. Eventually, the kingdom was ripped out of the bad king’s hands and given to a man after God’s own heart—a passionate warrior/poet/musician/shepherd/king. And finally, the king with a heart built a kingdom with a heart—and a promise of everlasting glory.
Israel was a small country at the end of David’s reign, but it was a country with an enormous purpose and a godly king. The twelve tribes had been united, the territory solidified, the military established, the enemies subdued, the priests assigned, the worship cultivated, and the temple imagined. And this was no ordinary kingdom; there were eternal promises associated with it and a global influence to come. This wasn’t just a nation chosen to prosper. It was chosen to host the presence of God.
That’s the remarkable legacy Solomon inherited—Israel was a jewel in God’s crown and the delight of his eyes. During the course of Solomon’s reign, this unique treasure would rise to unprecedented heights and then, almost inexplicably, begin to fragment into tragic rivalries. While Solomon was king, the world saw both what it was like for a nation to be blessed by God and what it was like for a nation to betray that sacred trust. Sadly, the legacy he left was less righteous than the legacy he received, and the holy inheritance would slip through the grasp
