 [[Solomon]]'s choice of wisdom, His strength and wealth.
---SOLOMON began his reign with a pious, public visit to [[God]]'s altar. Those that pursue present things most eagerly, are likely to be disappointed; while those that refer themselves to the providence of [[God]], if they have not the most, have the most comfort. Those that make this [[world]] their end, come short of the other, and are disappointed in this also; but those that make the other [[world]] their end, shall not only obtain that, and full satisfaction in it, but shall have as much of this [[world]] as is good for them, in their way. Let us then be contented, without those great things which men generally covet, but which commonly prove fatal snares to the soul.

 [[Solomon]]'s message to Huram respecting the temple, His treaty with Huram.
---[[Solomon]] informs Huram of the particular services to be performed in the temple. The mysteries of the true [[religion]], unlike those of the Gentile superstitions, sought not concealment. [[Solomon]] endeavoured to possess Huram with great and high thoughts of the [[God]] of  [[Israel]]. We should not be afraid or ashamed to embrace every opportunity to speak of [[God]], and to impress others with a deep sense of the importance of his favour and service. Now that the people of [[Israel]] kept close to the law and [[worship]] of [[God]], the neighbouring nations were willing to be taught by them in the true [[religion]], as the [[Israelites]] had been willing in the days of their apostacy, to be infected with the idolatries and superstitions of their neighbours. A wise and pious king is an evidence of the [[Lord]]'s special [[love]] for his people. How great then was [[God]]'s [[love]] to his believing people, in giving his only-begotten Son to be their Prince and their [[Saviour]].

 The building of the temple.
---There is a more particular account of the building of the [[temple]] in 1Ki 6. It must be in the place [[David]] had prepared, not only which he had purchased, but which he had fixed on by [[Divine]] direction. Full instructions enable us to go about our work with certainty and to proceed therein with comfort. Blessed be [[God]], the Scriptures are enough to render the man of [[God]] thoroughly furnished for every good work. Let us search the Scriptures daily, beseeching the [[Lord]] to enable us to understand, believe, and obey his word, that our work and our way may be made plain, and that all may be begun, continued, and ended in him. Beholding [[God]], in [[Christ]], his true Temple, more glorious than that of [[Solomon]]'s, may we become a spiritual house, a habitation of [[God]] through the [[Spirit]].
