King Solomon ruled Isra’el for 40 years living in peace with foreign nations. Solomon built the first Temple for Adonai on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem, the mountain where Abraham offered his son Isaac centuries earlier. The Temple took seven years to build. Solomon received help from surrounding nations’ resources, especially Lebanon known for its great cedars. When the Temple was completed, King Solomon dedicated it to Adonai with a great time of celebration with music, instruments, and the priesthood.
"Your eyes will see Jerusalem: A tent which will not be folded; its stakes will never be pulled up" (Isaiah 33:20).
