9. King Solomon
King David ruled Israel for many years. After King David’s
death, his son, Solomon, became ruler over the land of Israel.
People were happy, the kingdom was at peace, and Solomon
established good relations with neighboring countries.
King Solomon became known for his wisdom, his wealth, and
his writings. One of his most important achievements was the
building of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.
The Temple took seven years to complete. It was built of
stone and cedar wood from the country of Tyre, which was
carved and overlaid with gold.
After the completion of the Temple, the Ark of the Covenant,
which has been carried around since the Exodus from Egypt,
was placed inside. It was truly a magnificent Temple.
You can read in the Bible in 1 King chapter 2, verses 1
through 4; 1 King chapter 5, verses 5 through 14; and 1 King
chapters 5 through 7 about the building of the Temple.
