2 Chronicles 1:1-17
Solomon asked God for wisdom and knowledge, that he ma ed this people, for who is able to govern this great people of God's?
God gave Solomon not only wisdom and knowledge, but also wealth, riches and honor, such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have.
The time is the 10th century BC. Solomon is now in firm charge of his father David's kingdom. God gives him the wisdom he asks for, plus power, wealth and fame.
Shephelah/foothills: The low hills between Judea and the Philistine coastal plain.
Why?
Solomon knew that it is the Lord rules this kingdom, so he worshiped the Lord first at Gibeon first. God's Tent of Meeting was there.
Solomon has the heart to manage the kingdom God has assigned him to rule over. So the Lord gives him wisdom and knowledge and more are the wealth and honor.
How?
Wisdom and knowledge is more important than wealth and honor. Wisdom comes from the Lord.
