CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

1 Kings 3

Solomon marries Pharaoh’s daughter and worships at Gibeon before the temple is built. The LORD appears to him in a dream and invites him to ask for what he desires. Solomon asks for an understanding heart to judge the people, and God grants wisdom plus riches and honor. The dispute between two women over a living child immediately displays that wisdom.
