But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 1 is found in chapter 7 of 1 Kings. Solomon builds his own house, palace, and other structures after completing the temple. The contrasting construction periods reveal the scale of the royal undertaking. The narrative does not directly condemn the palace, but the narrative proximity between God’s house and the royal constructions raises a question about the monarchy’s priorities. Solomon’s kingdom magnificence is connected both to worship and royal power.
