1:1-10
David had prepared the ground for Solomom, and so he "established himself firmly over his kingdom”, and “God was with him and made him exceedingly great”. Solomon went up to Gibeon, there he met the Lord and asked for wisdom. His request was based on his knowing the promises to David, and an awareness of the responsibility he had .He wanted to do the job well.
1:11-17
God was pleased with his request and granted it. After such a good start, the groundwork that David had laid, and Solomon’s wise request, it is so tragic that he went so wrong. Solomon acquired great wealth.
