Solomon made an agreement with Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, by marrying his daughter. Solomon brought her to the City of David. [11] At this time, Solomon was still building his palace and the temple of the Lord. Solomon was also building a wall around Jerusalem.
The temple was finished in the month of Bul, the eighth month of the year. This was during the eleventh year that Solomon ruled over the people. It took seven years to build the temple. The temple was built exactly the way it was planned.
The thing you should want most is God’s kingdom and doing the good things God wants you to do. Then all these other things you need will be given to you.
