Solomon's Navy ⚓️ 1 Kings 9 Chew the Bible Season 3
Summary of 1 Kings 9
After Solomon finished building the Temple and his royal palace, God appeared to him a second time. The Lord reminded Solomon that He had heard his prayer and chosen the Temple as a sacred place. God promised to bless Solomon’s reign and keep his royal line going if Solomon remained faithful like his father David.
However, God also gave a warning: if Solomon or his descendants turned away from Him and worshiped other gods, Israel would be cut off from the land, and the Temple would become a ruin and a shame among the nations.
The chapter then describes Solomon’s dealings with King Hiram of Tyre, who helped supply materials for the building projects. Solomon gave Hiram 20 cities in Galilee, but Hiram was disappointed with them and called them “Cabul,” meaning “worthless.”
Solomon also used forced labor for his building projects and expanded his kingdom’s infrastructure, including cities, storage areas, and military outposts.
