Wisdom

The fact that wisdom characterizes his reign demands that we try to understand the significance of wisdom in the biblical theology. The king who rules wisely is not only concerned with intelligent decisions which promotes justice (1 Kings 3:16-17), but he also achieves prosperity in the good land according to the covenant promise (1 Kings 4:20-28). He seeks out the relationships that exist between all parts of the creation (1 Kings 4:29-34). At the heart of his wisdom is the revelation of God and his covenant. Even the magnificence of the temple is related to Solomon's wisdom.
