1 Kings 9:1-28

Contents: Jehovah appears to Solomon. Covenant made. Solomon's fame.

Characters: God, Solomon, Hiram.

Conclusion: God deals plainly with men and sets before them blessing or cursing. God never fails to perform His part of a covenant and if we improve the grace He is willing to give, He will confirm us to the end.

Key Word: Covenant, 1 Kings 9:4.

Strong Verses: 1 Kings 9:9; 1 Kings 9:25.

Striking Facts: 1 Kings 9:7. (Israel shall be a byword) lit. a «sheninah.» Some have thought that the epithet «sheeney» used in speaking disgustingly of Jews throughout the centuries, came from this prophecy.
