598.

Solomon's Wealth and Splendor

1.

Today's Passage: 1 Kings 10:14-28


Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.

Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).





2.

Thank You for meeting me, LORD.
I welcome you into this place.
Please prepare my heart Jehovah.
Thank you for insight.



3.

15th strategy.
Imagine


  • Prepare your heart - that means ask Him to open you to be able to listen well.
  • Ask Jesus to bring you into the very presence of God Himself as you read instructions
  • Imagine the characters in this passage.
  • Are they facing a large enemy? or a challenge?
  • Have they followed God? or have they fled from His guidance?
  • Are they trusting God?
  • Are they experiencing pain, or loss?
  • Imagine them as friends.
  • What would you do if you were there beside them?
  • Would you be willing to encourage them?
  • What would you do if you were experiencing their story?
  • Who would you turn to for guidance? God? A mentor? Satan?
  • Ask God to show you how to lean on Him in times of attack, or challenge.
  • Thank God for His presence with you right now.


14. Each year Solomon received about 25 tons of gold.
15. This did not include the additional revenue he received from merchants and traders, all the kings of Arabia, and the governors of the land.

16. King Solomon made 200 large shields of hammered gold, each weighing more than fifteen pounds.
17. He also made 300 smaller shields of hammered gold, each weighing nearly four pounds. The king placed these shields in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon.

18. Then the king made a huge throne, decorated with ivory and overlaid with fine gold.
19. The throne had six steps and a rounded back. There were armrests on both sides of the seat, and the figure of a lion stood on each end of the six steps. No other throne in all the world could be compared with it!
20. There were also twelve other lions, one standing on each end of the six steps. No other throne in all the world could be compared with it!

21. All of King Solomon's drinking cups were solid gold, as were all the utensils in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon. They were not made of silver, for silver was considered worthless in Solomon's day!

22. The king had a fleet of trading ships that sailed with Hiram's fleet. Once every three years the ships returned, loaded with gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.

23. So King Solomon became richer and wiser than any other king on earth.
24. People from every nation came to consult him and to hear the wisdom God had given him.
25. Year after year everyone who visited brought him gifts of silver and gold, clothing, weapons, spices, horses, and mules.

26.  Solomon built up a large force of chariots and horses. He had 14,000 chariots and 12,000 horses. He stationed some of them in the chariot cities and some near him in Jerusalem.
27. The king made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stone. And valuable cedar timber was as common as the sycamore-fig trees that grow in the foothills of Judah.
28. Solomon's horses were imported from Egypt and from Cilicia; the king's traders acquired them from Cilicia at the standard price.
29. At that time chariots from Egypt could be purchased for 600 pieces of silver, and horses for 150 pieces of silver. They were then exported to the kings of the Hittites and the king of Aram.
1 Kings 10:14-29 NLT
