1 KINGS—NOTE ON 1 Kings 3:1 Although Solomon has displayed a worldly kind of wisdom in his treatment of those who were a threat to him (1 Kings 2:6, 1 Kings 2:9), he still lacks a truly “wise and discerning mind” (1 Kings 3:12). The gift of wisdom that he now receives from God will allow him to govern more justly, as will be seen in vv. 1 Kings 3:16.
