About this episode

Today's Bible verse is 1 Kings 8:23 from the King James Version.

Episode 115: Because of the work that his father David had done, Solomon had the privilege of building alliances and trade routes for the prosperity of Israel. And during the time when kings would usually go to war, he, his men, and the kings in alliance with him, worked together to build the temple of God. After seven years, the beautiful temple, the hope of the nations, was complete. God’s presence filled it and Solomon, though he was king of Israel, bowed before the King of Kings and worshiped Him.
