Solomon dedicates the temple he has built, and the people dedicate themselves to worshiping God. The prayer of dedication that Solomon prays demonstrates great understanding and wisdom - and I commend it to you to read for yourself. Perhaps one of the greatest statements in his prayer is this "Blessed be the Lord ... Not one word has failed of all his good promise, which he spoke by Moses his servant." God keeps His promises!
God visits Solomon after the temple dedication and promises him that his sons after him will continue to sit on the throne of Israel, provided that Solomon and his children will obey God's commands and directions. Solomon continues to build cities and fleets of ships. His fame and wealth grow in large quantities.
